Numbers 35:22 in context

  1. 20If he shoved him out of hatred, or hurled something at him while lying in wait, so that he died,
  2. 21or in hostility struck him with his hand, so that he died, he who struck him shall surely be put to death. He is a murderer. The avenger of blood shall put the murderer to death when he meets him.
  3. 22“ ‘But if he shoved him suddenly without hostility, or hurled on him anything without lying in wait,
  4. 23or with any stone, by which a man may die, not seeing him, and cast it on him so that he died, and he was not his enemy and not seeking his harm,
  5. 24then the congregation shall judge between the striker and the avenger of blood according to these ordinances.
