'Someone' in the Bible
Anyone who accidentally killed someone without hating him at the time of the accident could flee to one of those cities and be safe.
Suppose he goes with someone else to the forest to cut wood and when he raises the ax to cut the tree, the ax head flies loose from the handle and strikes his fellow worker so hard that he dies. The person responsible may then flee to one of these cities to save himself.
However, suppose a person hates someone else and stalks him, attacks him, kills him, and then flees to one of these cities.
Moreover, the officers are to say to the troops, "Who among you has built a new house and not dedicated it? He may go home, lest he die in battle and someone else dedicate it.
Or who among you has planted a vineyard and not benefited from it? He may go home, lest he die in battle and someone else benefit from it.
Or who among you has become engaged to a woman but has not married her? He may go home, lest he die in battle and someone else marry her."
If you build a new house, you must construct a guard rail around your roof to avoid being culpable in the event someone should fall from it.
You must not do anything to the young woman -- she has done nothing deserving of death. This case is the same as when someone attacks another person and murders him,
If there is someone among you who is impure because of some nocturnal emission, he must leave the camp; he may not reenter it immediately.
When she has left him she may go and become someone else's wife.
If brothers live together and one of them dies without having a son, the dead man's wife must not remarry someone outside the family. Instead, her late husband's brother must go to her, marry her, and perform the duty of a brother-in-law.
