Deuteronomy 19:5

Compare all

3 You shall prepare roads for yourself, and divide into three parts the territory of your land which the Lord your God is giving you to inherit, that any manslayer may flee there.

4 “And ^athis is the case of the manslayer who flees there, that he may live: Whoever kills his neighbor¹ unintentionally, not having hated him in time past—

5 as when a man goes to the woods with his neighbor to cut timber, and his hand swings a stroke with the ax to cut down the tree, and the head slips from the handle and strikes his neighbor so that he dies—he shall flee to one of these cities and live;

6 ^alest the avenger of blood, while his anger is hot, pursue the manslayer and overtake him, because the way is long, and kill him, though he was not deserving of death, since he had not hated the victim in time past.

7 Therefore I command you, saying, ‘You shall separate three cities for yourself.’
