Deuteronomy 19:11-13

International Children’s Bible

¹¹ But a person might hate his neighbor. And he might hide and wait for him. He might attack and kill him and then run to one of these cities for safety. ¹² The elders of his own city should send for him. They should bring him back from the city of safety. And they should hand him over to the relative who has the duty of punishing the murderer. ¹³ Give him no mercy. You must remove from Israel the guilt of murdering innocent people. Then things will go well for you.
