New Testament

Numbers 35:18-24 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

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.

19. The blood avenger himself shall put the murderer to death; he shall put him to death when he meets him.

20. If he pushed him of hatred, or threw something at him lying in wait and as a result he died,

21. or if he struck him down with his hand in enmity, and as a result he died, the one who struck him shall surely be put to death, he is a murderer; the blood avenger shall put the murderer to death when he meets him.

22. 'But if he pushed him suddenly without enmity, or threw something at him without lying in wait,

23. or with any deadly object of stone, and without seeing it dropped on him so that he died, while he was not his enemy nor seeking his injury,

24. then the congregation shall judge between the slayer and the blood avenger according to these ordinances.
