He that sheddeth man's blood, by man, shall his blood be shed, - For, in the image of God, made he man.
He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall surely be put to death.
And, when, any man, by smiting taketh the life of any human being, he shall be surely put to death,
If, then, with an instrument of iron, he smote him, and he died, a manslayer, he is, - a manslayer, shall surely die.
And ye shall accept no ransom for the life of him that slayeth, if he have unlawfully caused death, - but he, must surely be put to death.
But, when any man shall be hating his neighbour, and shall lie in wait for him and rise up against him, and smite him so as to take away his life that he dieth, - and shall then flee into one of these cities,
A man oppressed with a person's blood, unto a pit, shall flee, let them not hold him back.
