Kills

Whoever strikes and kills a man must surely be put to death.

But if the ox has a habit of goring, and its owner has been warned yet does not restrain it, and it kills a man or woman, then the ox must be stoned and its owner must also be put to death.

Whoever kills an animal must make restitution—life for life.

Whoever kills an animal must make restitution, but whoever kills a man must be put to death.

…designate cities to serve as your cities of refuge, so that a person who kills someone unintentionally may flee there.

These six cities will serve as a refuge for the Israelites and for the foreigner or stranger among them, so that anyone who kills a person unintentionally may flee there.

If, however, anyone strikes a person with an iron object and kills him, he is a murderer; the murderer must surely be put to death.

Or if anyone has in his hand a stone of deadly size, and he strikes and kills another, he is a murderer; the murderer must surely be put to death.

If anyone has in his hand a deadly object of wood, and he strikes and kills another, he is a murderer; the murderer must surely be put to death.

Likewise, if anyone maliciously pushes another or intentionally throws an object at him and kills him,

…or without looking drops a heavy stone that kills him, but he was not an enemy and did not intend to harm him,

…and the avenger of blood finds him outside of his city of refuge and kills him, then the avenger will not be guilty of bloodshed,

If anyone kills a person, the murderer is to be put to death on the testimony of the witnesses. But no one is to be put to death based on the testimony of a lone witness.

If he goes into the forest with his neighbor to cut timber and swings his axe to chop down a tree, but the blade flies off the handle and strikes and kills his neighbor, he may flee to one of these cities to save his life.

If, however, a man hates his neighbor and lies in wait, attacks him and kills him, and then flees to one of these cities,

…so that anyone who kills another unintentionally or accidentally may flee there. These will be your refuge from the avenger of blood.

These are the cities appointed for all the Israelites and foreigners among them, so that anyone who kills a person unintentionally may flee there and not die by the hand of the avenger of blood prior to standing trial before the assembly.

Now the men of Israel had been saying, “Do you see how this man keeps coming out to defy Israel? To the man who kills him the king will give great riches. And he will give him his daughter in marriage and exempt his father’s house from taxation in Israel.”

David asked the men who were standing with him, “What will be done for the man who kills this Philistine and removes this disgrace from Israel? Just who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?”

The people told him about the offer, saying, “That is what will be done for the man who kills him.”

For resentment kills a fool, and envy slays the simple.

The craving of the slacker kills him because his hands refuse to work.

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those sent to her, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were unwilling!

They will put you out of the synagogues. In fact, a time is coming when anyone who kills you will think he is offering a service to God.

And He has qualified us as ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
