Numbers 35:15-17

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹⁵ These six cities will serve as a refuge for the Israelites and for the foreigner or temporary resident among them, so that anyone who kills a person unintentionally may flee there.

¹⁶ “If anyone strikes a person with an iron object and death results, he is a murderer; the murderer must be put to death. ¹⁷ If a man has in his hand a stone capable of causing death and strikes another person and he dies, the murderer must be put to death.
