"'He who strikes any man mortally shall surely be put to death.
"'But if he struck him with an instrument of iron, so that he died, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
"'Moreover you shall take no ransom for the life of a murderer who is guilty of death; but he shall surely be put to death.
But if any man hates his neighbor, and lies in wait for him, and rises up against him, and strikes him mortally so that he dies, and he flees into one of these cities;
A man who is tormented by life blood will be a fugitive until death; no one will support him.
