6 Anyone shedding man’s blood, by man will his own blood be shed,+ for in God’s image He made man.+

12 “Anyone who strikes a man so that he dies must be put to death.+

31 You must take no ransom for the life* of a murderer who is deserving to die, for he should be put to death without fail.+

11 “But if a man hated his fellow man+ and he was waiting to attack him and he fatally wounded him* and he died, and the man has fled to one of these cities, 12 the elders of his city should then summon him from there and deliver him into the hand of the avenger of blood, and he must die.+ 13 You* should not feel sorry for him, and you must remove the guilt of innocent blood out of Israel,+ so that it may go well for you.
