- 11But if any man has hate for his neighbour, and waiting for him secretly makes an attack on him and gives him a blow causing his death, and then goes in flight to one of these towns;
- 12The responsible men of his town are to send and take him, and give him up to the one who has the right of punishment to be put to death.
- 13Have no pity on him, so that Israel may be clear from the crime of putting a man to death without cause, and it will be well for you.
- 14Your neighbour's landmark, which was put in its place by the men of old times, is not to be moved or taken away in the land of your heritage which the Lord your God is giving you.
