Exodus 21:12-14

International Standard Version

Laws Concerning Personal Injury and Homicide

¹² “Whoever strikes a man so that he dies is certainly to be put to death. ¹³ If he didn’t lie in wait, but God let him fall into his reach,^[a] then I’ll appoint for you a place to which he may flee. ¹⁴ If a man acts deliberately against his neighbor, to kill him by treachery, you are to take him to die even if he’s at^[b] my altar.
