Numbers 35:18-20

New International Reader's Version

¹⁸ Or suppose a person is holding a wooden object that could kill. And they use it to hit and kill someone. Then that person is a murderer and must be put to death. ¹⁹ The dead person’s nearest male relative must kill the murderer. When he meets up with him, he must kill the murderer. ²⁰ What if a person makes evil plans against someone else? And what if that person pushes them so that they die? Or what if that person throws something at them so that they die?
