Exodus 21:12-14

God lays down the law

Whoever strikes a person mortally shall be put to death.

If it was not premeditated, but came about by an act of God, then I will appoint for you a place to which the killer may flee.

But if someone willfully attacks and kills another by treachery, you shall take the killer from my altar for execution.
