Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 19:6 - lest the redeemer of blood pursue after the man-slayer when his heart is hot, and hath overtaken him (because the way is great), and hath smitten him -- the life, and he hath no sentence of death, for he is not hating him heretofore;

Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 19:10 - and innocent blood is not shed in the midst of thy land which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee -- an inheritance, and there hath been upon thee blood.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 19:11 - 'And when a man is hating his neighbour, and hath lain in wait for him, and risen against him, and smitten him -- the life, and he hath died, and he hath fled unto one of these cities,
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 19:12 - then the elders of his city have sent and taken him from thence, and given him into the hand of the redeemer of blood, and he hath died;
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 19:13 - thine eye hath no pity on him, and thou hast put away the innocent blood from Israel, and it is well with thee.

Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 19:18 - and the judges have searched diligently, and lo, the witness is a false witness, a falsehood he hath testified against his brother:
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 19:19 - 'Then ye have done to him as he devised to do to his brother, and thou hast put away the evil thing out of thy midst,
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 19:20 - and those who are left do hear and fear, and add not to do any more according to this evil thing in thy midst;
