If he smite him with a hand weapon of wood that he dye therewith / then he shall dye: for he is a murderer and shall be slain therefore.
Yf he smyte him with a handwepon of wodd that he dye therwith / then he shall dye: for he is a murtherer and shalbe slayne the•fore.
The judge of blood shall ••ee the murderer / as soon as he findeth him: If he •h•ust him of hate or hurl at him with laying of wait that he dye or smite him with his hand of envy that he dye / he that smote him shall dye / for he is a murderer. The justice of blood shall slay him as soon as he findeth him.
The iudge of bloude shall ••ee the murtherer / as sone as he fyndeth him: Yf he •h•ust him of hate or hourle at him with layenge of wayte that he dye or smyte him with his hande of enuye that he dye / he that smote him shall dye / for he is a murtherer. The iustice of bloude shall slee him as soone as he fyndeth him.
But and if he pushed him by chance & not of hate or cast at him with any manner of ⟨p. lxvi⟩thing and nor of laying of wait: or cast any manner of stone at him that he dye therewith / and saw him not: And he cast it upon him and he dyed / but was not his enemies nether sought him any harm: Then the congregation shall judge between the slayer and the executer of blood in such cases. And the congregation shall deliver the slayer out of the hand of the judge of blood / and shall restore him again unto the fraunesed city / whither he was fled. And he shall bide there unto the death off the high priest which was anointed with holy yle.
