Exodus 21:12-14

Expanded Bible

Laws About Injuries

¹² “Anyone who ·hits [strikes] a person and kills him must be put to death. ¹³ But if a person kills someone ·accidentally [without premeditation], God allowed that to happen, so ·the person must go to a place I will choose [^LI will appoint for you a place to which the person may flee; Josh. 20:1–9]. ¹⁴ But if someone plans and murders another person on purpose, put him to death, even if he has run to my altar for safety.
