as when a man goes into the forest with his neighbor to chop wood and his hand swings the ax to cut down the tree, and the head slips from the handle and hits his neighbor so that he dies—he shall flee to one of these cities and live.Deuteronomy 19:5 · WEB

- જ્યારે કોઈ વ્યક્તિ પોતાના પડોશી સાથે જંગલમાં લાકડાં કાપવા જાય, ત્યાં લાકડાં કાપતાં કુહાડો હાથમાંથી છટકીને પડોશીને વાગે અને તેનું મૃત્યુ થાય, એવો ખૂની આ ત્રણ નગરમાંથી કોઈ એકમાં નાસી જાય અને તેમાં આશ્રય મળે.
- हिन्दी — व्यवस्थाविवरण १९:५
- जैसे कोई किसी के संग लकड़ी काटने को जंगल में जाए, और वृक्ष काटने को कुल्हाड़ी हाथ से उठाए, और कुल्हाड़ी बेंट से निकलकर उस भाई को ऐसी लगे कि वह मर जाए तो वह उन नगरों में से किसी में भागकर जीवित रहे;
In context
3You shall prepare the way, and divide the borders of your land which the LORD your God causes you to inherit into three parts, that every man slayer may flee there.
4This is the case of the man slayer who shall flee there and live: Whoever kills his neighbor unintentionally, and didn’t hate him in time past—
5as when a man goes into the forest with his neighbor to chop wood and his hand swings the ax to cut down the tree, and the head slips from the handle and hits his neighbor so that he dies—he shall flee to one of these cities and live.
6Otherwise, the avenger of blood might pursue the man slayer while hot anger is in his heart and overtake him, because the way is long, and strike him mortally, even though he was not worthy of death, because he didn’t hate him in time past.
7Therefore I command you to set apart three cities for yourselves.
