Berean Standard Bible
“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.”
Israel is instructed about cities of refuge, places where someone who killed accidentally could flee for protection. The chapter also sets standards for distinguishing murder from manslaughter.
