Exodus 21:13-15
Contemporary English Version

13 (A) But if you did not intend to kill someone, and I, the Lord, let it happen anyway, you may run for safety to a place that I have set aside. 14 If you plan in advance to murder someone, there's no escape, not even by holding on to my altar.[a] You will be dragged off and killed.

15 Death is the punishment for attacking your father or mother.
