Genesis 4:8-23
Cain said to his brother Abel,“ Let’s go out to the field.” And while they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him.Then the LORD said to Cain,“ Where is your brother Abel?”“ I don’t know,” he replied.“ Am I my brother’s guardian?”Then he said,“ What have you done? Your brother’s blood cries out to me from the ground!So now you are cursed, alienated from the ground that opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood you have shed.If you work the ground, it will never again give you its yield. You will be a restless wanderer on the earth.”But Cain answered the LORD,“ My punishment is too great to bear!Since you are banishing me today from the face of the earth, and I must hide from your presence and become a restless wanderer on the earth, whoever finds me will kill me.”Then the LORD replied to him,“ In that case, whoever kills Cain will suffer vengeance seven times over.” And he placed a mark on Cain so that whoever found him would not kill him.Then Cain went out from the LORD’s presence and lived in the land of Nod, east of Eden.Cain was intimate with his wife, and she conceived and gave birth to Enoch. Then Cain became the builder of a city, and he named the city Enoch after his son.Irad was born to Enoch, Irad fathered Mehujael, Mehujael fathered Methushael, and Methushael fathered Lamech.Lamech took two wives for himself, one named Adah and the other named Zillah.Adah bore Jabal; he was the first of the nomadic herdsmen.His brother was named Jubal; he was the first of all who play the lyre and the flute.Zillah bore Tubal-cain, who made all kinds of bronze and iron tools. Tubal-cain’s sister was Naamah.Lamech said to his wives: Adah and Zillah, hear my voice; wives of Lamech, pay attention to my words. For I killed a man for wounding me, a young man for striking me.

Psalms 10:8-11
He waits in ambush near settlements; he kills the innocent in secret places. His eyes are on the lookout for the helpless;he lurks in secret like a lion in a thicket. He lurks in order to seize a victim; he seizes a victim and drags him in his net.So he is oppressed and beaten down; helpless people fall because of the wicked one’s strength.He says to himself,“ God has forgotten; he hides his face and will never see.”

Numbers 35:16-34
“ If anyone strikes a person with an iron object and death results, he is a murderer; the murderer must be put to death.If anyone has in his hand a stone capable of causing death and strikes another person and he dies, the murderer must be put to death.If anyone has in his hand a wooden object capable of causing death and strikes another person and he dies, the murderer must be put to death.The avenger of blood himself is to kill the murderer; when he finds him, he is to kill him.Likewise, if anyone in hatred pushes a person or throws an object at him with malicious intent and he dies,or if in hostility he strikes him with his hand and he dies, the one who struck him must be put to death; he is a murderer. The avenger of blood is to kill the murderer when he finds him.“ But if anyone suddenly pushes a person without hostility or throws any object at him without malicious intentor without looking drops a stone that could kill a person and he dies, but he was not his enemy and didn’t intend to harm him,the assembly is to judge between the person who kills someone and the avenger of blood according to these ordinances.The assembly is to protect the one who kills someone from the avenger of blood. Then the assembly will return him to the city of refuge he fled to, and he must live there until the death of the high priest who was anointed with the holy oil.“ If the one who kills someone ever goes outside the border of the city of refuge he fled to,and the avenger of blood finds him outside the border of his city of refuge and kills him, the avenger will not be guilty of bloodshed,for the one who killed a person was supposed to live in his city of refuge until the death of the high priest. Only after the death of the high priest may the one who has killed a person return to the land he possesses.These instructions will be a statutory ordinance for you throughout your generations wherever you live.“ If anyone kills a person, the murderer is to be put to death based on the word of witnesses. But no one is to be put to death based on the testimony of one witness.You are not to accept a ransom for the life of someone who is guilty of murder; he must be put to death.Neither should you accept a ransom for the person who flees to his city of refuge, allowing him to return and live in the land before the death of the high priest.“ Do not defile the land where you live, for bloodshed defiles the land, and there can be no atonement for the land because of the blood that is shed on it, except by the blood of the person who shed it.Do not make the land unclean where you live and where I dwell; for I, the LORD, reside among the Israelites.”
