Numbers 35:23
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
or without looking drops a heavy stone that kills him, but he was not an enemy and did not intend to harm him,
In context
21 or if in hostility he strikes him with his hand and he dies, the one who struck him must surely be put to death; he is a murderer. When the avenger of blood finds the murderer, he is to kill him.
22 But if anyone pushes a person suddenly, without hostility, or throws an object at him unintentionally,
23 or without looking drops a heavy stone that kills him, but he was not an enemy and did not intend to harm him,
24 then the congregation must judge between the slayer and the avenger of blood according to these ordinances.
25 The assembly is to protect the manslayer from the hand of the avenger of blood. Then the assembly will return him to the city of refuge to which he fled, and he must live there until the death of the high priest, who was anointed with the holy oil.
