Numbers 35:19-21

New International Reader's Version

¹⁹ The dead person’s nearest male relative must kill the murderer. When he meets up with him, he must kill the murderer. ²⁰ What if a person makes evil plans against someone else? And what if that person pushes them so that they die? Or what if that person throws something at them so that they die? ²¹ Or what if that person hits another person with a fist so that the other dies? Then the person who does any of those things must be put to death. That person is a murderer. The dead person’s nearest male relative must kill the murderer. When he meets up with him, he must kill the murderer.
