Numbers 35:16-21
If he smite him with an instrument of iron, so that he die, etc.—Various cases are here enumerated in which the Goel or avenger was at liberty to take the life of the murderer; and every one of them proves a premeditated purpose.
19 aThe avenger of blood himself shall put the murderer to death; when he meets him, he shall put him to death.
20 aIf he pushes him out of hatred or, bwhile lying in wait, hurls something at him so that he dies,
21 or in enmity he strikes him with his hand so that he dies, the one who struck him shall surely be put to death. He is a murderer. The avenger of blood shall put the murderer to death when he meets him.
22 ‘However, if he pushes him suddenly awithout enmity, or throws anything at him without lying in wait,
23 or uses a stone, by which a man could die, throwing it at him without seeing him, so that he dies, while he was not his enemy or seeking his harm,
24 then athe congregation shall judge between the manslayer and the avenger of blood according to these judgments.
