21or if he have smitten him with his hand through anger, and the man should die, let the man that smote him be put to death by all means, he is a murderer: let the murderer by all means be put to death: the avenger of blood shall slay the murderer when he meets him.
22But if he should thrust him suddenly, not through enmity, or cast anything upon him, not from an ambuscade,
— Numbers 35:23 —
24then the assembly shall judge between the smiter and the avenger of blood, according to these judgments.
25And the congregation shall rescue the slayer from the avenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore him to his city of refuge, whither he fled for refuge; and he shall dwell there till the death of the high priest, whom they anointed with the holy oil.
