14 ^lBut if a man willfully attacks another to kill him by cunning, ^myou shall take him from my altar, that he may die.

11 ^c“But if anyone hates his neighbor and lies in wait for him and attacks him and strikes him fatally so that he dies, and he flees into one of these cities, 12 then the elders of his city shall send and take him from there, and hand him over to the avenger of blood, so that he may die. 13 ^dYour eye shall not pity him, but you shall ^epurge the guilt of innocent blood¹ from Israel, so that it may be well with you.
