Deuteronomy 19:11

Compare all

9 and if you keep all these commandments and do them, which I command you today, to love the Lord your God and to walk always in His ways, ^athen you shall add three more cities for yourself besides these three,

10 ^alest innocent blood be shed in the midst of your land which the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, and thus guilt of bloodshed be upon you.

11 “But ^aif anyone hates his neighbor, lies in wait for him, rises against him and strikes him mortally, so that he dies, and he flees to one of these cities,

12 then the elders of his city shall send and bring him from there, and deliver him over to the hand of the avenger of blood, that he may die.

13 ^aYour eye shall not pity him, ^bbut you shall put away the guilt of innocent blood from Israel, that it may go well with you.
