Numbers 35:15-17

Common English Bible

¹⁵ These six cities will be refuge for Israelites, immigrants, and temporary residents, as a place to flee for anyone who kills a person by accident.

¹⁶ But if someone strikes a person with an iron object and he dies, he is a murderer. The murderer must definitely be put to death. ¹⁷ If someone strikes another with a stone in hand that could cause death and he dies, he is a murderer. The murderer must definitely be put to death.
