Numbers 35:17-19

The Message

¹⁷ “Or if he has a rock in his hand big enough to kill and the man dies, that’s murder; he’s a murderer and must be put to death.

¹⁸ “Or if he’s carrying a wooden club heavy enough to kill and the man dies, that’s murder; he’s a murderer and must be put to death.

¹⁹ “In such cases the avenger has a right to kill the murderer when he meets him—he can kill him on the spot.
