Numbers 35:22-24

International Children’s Bible

²² “‘But a person might suddenly shove someone. He did not hate the person. Or he might accidentally throw something and hit someone. ²³ Or he might drop a rock that could kill someone. It might fall on someone he did not see. And it might kill that person. He didn’t plan to hurt anyone. He didn’t hate the person he killed. ²⁴ If that happens, the community must decide what to do. They must decide between the relative of the dead person and the killer. Here are the rules.
