“‘ Suppose a person uses an iron object to hit and kill someone. Then that person is a murderer and must be put to death.Or suppose a person is holding a stone that could kill. And they use it to hit and kill someone. Then that person is a murderer and must be put to death.Or suppose a person is holding a wooden object that could kill. And they use it to hit and kill someone. Then that person is a murderer and must be put to death.The dead person’s nearest male relative must kill the murderer. When he meets up with him, he must kill the murderer.What if a person makes evil plans against someone else? And what if that person pushes them so that they die? Or what if that person throws something at them so that they die?Or what if that person hits another person with a fist so that the other dies? Then the person who does any of those things must be put to death. That person is a murderer. The dead person’s nearest male relative must kill the murderer. When he meets up with him, he must kill the murderer.

“ Anyone who murders a human being will be killed by a human being. That is because I have made human beings so that they are like me.

Anyone troubled by the guilt of murder will seek to escape their guilt by death. No one should keep them from it.

“ Anyone who hits and kills someone else must be put to death.Suppose they did not do it on purpose. Suppose I let it happen. Then they can escape to a place I will choose.But suppose they kill someone on purpose. Then take them away from my altar and put them to death.

Then the court must decide between the person who did the act and the nearest male relative of the one who was killed. Here are the rules the court must follow.
