New Testament

Numbers 35:14-18 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

14. You shall give three cities across the Jordan and three cities in the land of Canaan; they are to be cities of refuge.

15. These six cities shall be for refuge for the sons of Israel, and for the alien and for the sojourner among them; that anyone who kills a person unintentionally may flee there.

16. 'But if he struck him down with an iron object, so that he died, he is a murderer; the murderer shall surely be put to death.

17. If he struck him down with a stone in the hand, by which he will die, and as a result he died, he is a murderer; the murderer shall surely be put to death.

18. Or if he struck him with a wooden object in the hand, by which he might die, and as a result he died, he is a murderer; the murderer shall surely be put to death.
