11 But if any man hate his neighbour, and lie in wait for him, and rise up against him, and smite him mortally that he die, and fleeth into one of these cities:
11
But if out of hate someone lies in wait, assaults and kills a neighbor, and then flees to one of these cities,
12 Then the elders of his city shall send and fetch him thence, and deliver him into the hand of the avenger of blood, that he may die.
12
the killer shall be sent for by the town elders, be brought back from the city, and be handed over to the avenger of blood to die.
