Numbers 35:23-25

Easy-to-Read Version

²³ Perhaps you threw a rock that was large enough to kill, but it hit someone you didn’t see and killed them. You didn’t plan to kill anyone. You didn’t hate the person you killed—it was only an accident. ²⁴ If that happens, the community must decide what to do. The court must decide if a member of the dead person’s family can kill you. ²⁵ If the community decides to protect you from the dead person’s family, the community must take you back to your city of safety. You must stay there until the official high priest^[a] dies.
