Numbers 35:23-25

International Standard Version

²³ or if he hit him^[a] with a stone carelessly^[b] so that he was fatally injured, though he isn’t his enemy and he wasn’t seeking to commit evil against him, ²⁴ then the community is to judge between the inadvertent killer and the blood avenger, following these ordinances. ²⁵ The community is to release^[c] the inadvertent killer from the blood avenger and return him to the town of refuge where he had fled. He is to live there until the High Priest dies, who will have anointed him with holy oil.
