Deuteronomy 19:5-7
Holman Christian Standard Bible
5 If he goes into the forest with his neighbor to cut timber, and his hand swings the ax to chop down a tree, but the blade flies off the handle and strikes his neighbor so that he dies, that person may flee to one of these cities and live. 6 Otherwise, the avenger of blood in the heat of his anger[a] might pursue the one who committed manslaughter, overtake him because the distance is great, and strike him dead. Yet he did not deserve to die,[b] since he did not previously hate his neighbor. 7 This is why I am commanding you to set apart three cities for yourselves.
