¹⁷ `And when a man smiteth any soul of man, he is certainly put to death.

⁵ `And only your blood for your lives do I require; from the hand of every living thing I require it, and from the hand of man, from the hand of every man's brother I require the life of man;

⁶ whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man is his blood shed: for in the image of God hath He made man.

¹¹ `And when a man is hating his neighbour, and hath lain in wait for him, and risen against him, and smitten him -- the life, and he hath died, and he hath fled unto one of these cities,

¹² then the elders of his city have sent and taken him from thence, and given him into the hand of the redeemer of blood, and he hath died;

¹² `He who smiteth a man so that he hath died, is certainly put to death;

¹³ as to him who hath not laid wait, and God hath brought to his hand, I have even set for thee a place whither he doth flee.

¹⁴ `And when a man doth presume against his neighbour to slay him with subtilty, from Mine altar thou dost take him to die.

³⁰ whoso smiteth a person, by the mouth of witnesses doth `one' slay the murderer; and one witness doth not testify against a person -- to die.

³¹ `And ye take no atonement for the life of a murderer who `is' condemned -- to die, for he is certainly put to death;

²⁴ `Cursed `is' he who is smiting his neighbour in secret, -- and all the people have said, Amen.
