Numbers 35

¹⁷ Or if anyone has in his hand a stone of deadly size, and he strikes and kills another, he is a murderer; the murderer must surely be put to death.

¹⁸ If anyone has in his hand a deadly object of wood, and he strikes and kills another, he is a murderer; the murderer must surely be put to death.

¹⁹ The avenger of blood is to put the murderer to death; when he finds him, he is to kill him.

²⁰ Likewise, if anyone maliciously pushes another or intentionally throws an object at him and kills him,

²¹ or if in hostility he strikes him with his hand and he dies, the one who struck him must surely be put to death; he is a murderer. When the avenger of blood finds the murderer, he is to kill him.
