DEUTERONOMY 19:11 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“But if any man hate his neighbour, and lie in wait for him, and rise up against him, and smite him mortally that he die, and fleeth into one of these cities:”
But if someone at enmity with another lies in wait, attacks that person, and strikes that person mortally, and then flees into one of these cities — the distinction sharpens: the murderer (one with prior enmity/sin'ah, who lies in wait/tzofeh) cannot claim sanctuary; premeditated killing with motivation is excluded from the refuge protection.
