He that smites a man so that he dies shall be surely put to death.
Likewise he that kills any man shall surely be put to death.
And if he smites him with an instrument of iron so that he dies, he is a murderer; the murderer shall surely be put to death.
Moreover ye shall take no ransom for the life of a murderer who is guilty of death, but he shall be surely put to death.
But when any man hates his neighbour and lies in wait for him and rises up against him and smites him mortally that he dies and flees into one of these cities,
A man that does violence to the blood of any person shall flee all the way to the grave, and no one shall sustain him.
