Deuteronomy 19:10-12

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁰ “so that no innocent blood is shed within your land which the LORD your God gives you to inherit (lest blood be upon you).

¹¹ “But, if a man hates his neighbor and lays in wait for him and rises up against him and strikes any man so that he dies and flee to any of these cities,

¹² “then the elders of his city shall send and fetch him from there and deliver him to the hands of the avenger of the blood, so that he may die.
