Deuteronomy 19:11-13

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹¹ But if there is a person who is hateful toward another, and he lies in ambush for him and springs up on him and strikes him so he dies, and the killer flees to one of the cities of God, ¹² then the elders of his home city are to send for him and take him from there. They are to hand him over to the avenger of blood, and he is to be put to death.

¹³ Your eye is not to look with compassion on him. You are to purge the blood of the innocent person from Israel so that it may go well for you.
