Numbers 35:17-19
New English Translation
17 If he strikes him by throwing a stone large enough that he could die, and he dies, he is a murderer. The murderer must surely be put to death. 18 Or if he strikes him with a wooden hand weapon so that he could die, and he dies, he is a murderer. The murderer must surely be put to death. 19 The avenger[a] of blood himself must kill the murderer; when he meets him, he must kill him.
