“The revenger of blood himself shall slay the murderer: when he meeteth him, he shall slay him.”
The avenger of blood himself shall slay the murderer: when he meeteth him, he shall slay him — the execution of the murderer falls to the avenger of blood (the kinsman-redeemer), who may kill the murderer when encountering him. The kinship-justice system is authorized for murder-cases, preventing the murderer from seeking refuge in the cities of refuge.
