10 That no innocent blood be shed within thy land, which the Lord thy God giveth thee to inherit, [a]lest blood be upon thee.

11 ¶ But if a man hate his neighbor, and lay wait for him, and rise against him, and smite any man that he die, and flee unto any of these cities,

12 Then the [b]Elders of his city shall send and fet him thence, and deliver him to the hands of the avenger of the blood, that he may die.
