Numbers 35:20-22

New International Reader's Version

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? ²¹ Or what if that person hits another person with a fist so that the other dies? Then the person who does any of those things must be put to death. That person is a murderer. The dead person’s nearest male relative must kill the murderer. When he meets up with him, he must kill the murderer.

²² “ ‘But what if a person suddenly pushes someone else without being angry? Or what if that person throws something at someone else without meaning to?
