“Or in enmity smite him with his hand, that he die: he that smote him shall surely be put to death; for he is a murderer: the revenger of blood shall slay the murderer, when he meeteth him.”
Or in enmity smite him with his hand, that he die: he that smote him shall surely be put to death; for he is a murderer: the avenger of blood shall slay the murderer, when he meeteth him — if the killer strikes from enmity (suggesting prior conflict and ill-will), this constitutes murder. The avenger of blood may execute the murderer upon encounter, and execution is mandatory.
