Accident judged by the congregation

22But if he pushed him suddenly, without hostility, or threw any object at him without lying in wait,

23or with any stone by which one could die, without seeing, he dropped it on him so that he died, though he was not his enemy and was not seeking his harm—

24then the congregation shall judge between the one who struck him and the avenger of blood, according to these ordinances.

25Then the congregation shall rescue the manslayer from the hand of the avenger of blood, and the congregation shall return him to his city of refuge, where he fled; and he shall live in it until the death of the high priest, whom he was anointed with the holy oil.
