Numbers 35:23-25

Common English Bible

²³ or accidentally drops any stone on him that could cause death and he dies—even though they weren’t enemies and no evil was intended— ²⁴ then the community must come to a verdict between the killer and the close relative in accordance with these case laws. ²⁵ The community will protect the killer from the hand of the close relative and return him to the refuge city where he fled. He will live there until the death of the high priest who was anointed with holy oil.
