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.
25. The congregation shall deliver the manslayer from the hand of the blood avenger, and the congregation shall restore him to his city of refuge to which he fled; and he shall live in it until the death of the high priest who was anointed with the holy oil.
26. But if the manslayer at any time goes beyond the border of his city of refuge to which he may flee,
27. and the blood avenger finds him outside the border of his city of refuge, and the blood avenger kills the manslayer, he will not be guilty of blood
28. because he should have remained in his city of refuge until the death of the high priest. But after the death of the high priest the manslayer shall return to the land of his possession.
