Numbers 35:16 VOICE

[16] If someone picks up an instrument-iron, stone, wood, whatever-and batters somebody else so badly that the victim dies, or if he otherwise kills with intent (fatally pushes with hatred or throws an object from some hidden place that kills its target), the perpetrator is guilty of murder. His punishment is death in return, and someone shall be assigned to kill him. The one to carry out this death penalty is called the "blood avenger." Whenever the avenger has a chance to kill the murderer, he should do so.
