11 “But ^aif there is a man who hates his neighbor and lies in wait for him and rises up against him and strikes down ¹his life so that he dies, and he flees to one of these cities, 12 then the elders of his city shall send and take him from there and give him over into the hand of the avenger of blood, that he may die. 13 ¹^aYou shall not pity him, but ^byou shall purge the blood of the innocent from Israel, that it may go well with you.
