Deuteronomy 19:10-12

Living Bible

¹⁰ In this way you will be able to avoid the death of innocent people, and you will not be held responsible for unjustified bloodshed.

¹¹ “But if anyone hates his neighbor and springs out of hiding and kills him, and then flees into one of the Cities of Refuge, ¹² the elders of his hometown shall send for him and shall bring him home and deliver him over to the dead man’s avenger, to kill him.
