הָרֹצֵ֑חַ (רֹצֵ֑חַ) ro.Tze.ach “killer”

Then let certain towns be marked out as safe places to which anyone who takes the life of another in error may go in flight.

רֹצֵ֔חַ ro.Tze.ach “a killer”

In these towns you may be safe from him who has the right of punishment; so that death may not overtake the taker of life till he has been judged by the meeting of the people.

He whose right it is to give punishment for blood, may himself put to death the taker of life when he comes face to face with him.

הָרֹצֵ֑חַ (רֹצֵ֑חַ) ro.Tze.ach “killer”

Or in hate gave him blows with his hand, causing death; he who gave the death-blow is to be put to death; he is a taker of life: he whose right it is to give punishment for blood may put to death the taker of life when he comes face to face with him.

But if ever he goes outside the walls of the safe town where he had gone in flight,

הָרֹצֵ֑חַ (רֹצֵ֑חַ) ro.Tze.ach “killer”

וְרָצַ֞ח (רָצַ֞ח) ra.Tzach “he will kill”הָ֣רֹצֵ֔חַ (רֹצֵ֔חַ) ro.Tze.ach “killer”

Because he had been ordered to keep inside the safe town till the death of the high priest: but after the death of the high priest the taker of life may come back to the place of his heritage.

הָרֹצֵ֔חַ (רֹצֵ֔חַ) ro.Tze.ach “killer”

Anyone causing the death of another is himself to be put to death on the word of witnesses: but the word of one witness is not enough.

רֹצֵ֔חַ ro.Tze.ach “a killer”

To which anyone causing the death of his neighbour in error and not through hate, might go in flight; so that in one of these towns he might be kept from death:

רוֹצֵ֗חַ ro.Tze.ach “a killer”יִרְצַ֤ח yir.Tzach “he will kill”

Do not put anyone to death without cause.

הָרֹצֵ֔חַ (רֹצֵ֔חַ) ro.Tze.ach “killer”

So that any man who in error and without design has taken the life of another, may go in flight to them: and they will be safe places for you from him who has the right of punishment for blood.

רוֹצֵ֔חַ ro.Tze.ach “a killer”

And if the one who has the right of punishment comes after him, they are not to give the taker of life up to him; because he was the cause of his neighbour's death without designing it and not in hate.
