11 Kumele likhethe amadolobho okulula ukufika kuwo, abe ngamadolobho okuphephela ukuze umuntu obulele omunye* ngengozi abalekele khona.+

22 “‘Kodwa nxa engakwenzanga ngabomo njalo engamfuqanga ngenxa yokuthi ubemzonda kumbe nxa ejikele into ethile kuye engahlosanga ukumlimaza,*+ 23 kumbe nxa ubengamboni wasefuqa ilitshe lawela phezu kwakhe kungayisikho ukuthi ubeyisitha sakhe futhi engahlosanga ukumlimaza kodwa umuntu wafa, 24 ibandla kumele lahlulele phakathi kwalowo obulele umuntu kanye lalowo ophindiselayo lilandela imithetho le yokwahlulela.+ 25 Ngemva kwalokho ibandla kumele limvikele umuntu obulele omunye ukuze angabulawa ngumuntu ophindiselayo njalo limbuyisele edolobheni lakhe lokuphephela abebalekele kulo futhi kufanele ahlale kulo kuze kufe umphristi omkhulu owagcotshwa ngamafutha angcwele.+

42 Nxa umuntu angabulala omunye ngengozi njalo kungayisikho ukuthi ubemzonda+ kumele abalekele kwelinye lamadolobho lawo ukuze aphile.+

3 Kumele lehlukanise ilizwe uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu alinike lona ukuthi libe ngelenu libe yizigaba ezintathu njalo lilungise imigwaqo ukuze umuntu obulele omunye abalekele kwelinye lamadolobho lawo.

4 “Nanku okumele kwenzakale nxa umbulali angabalekela khona ukuze aphile: Nxa enze iphutha wabulala omunye engahlosanga futhi kungayisikho ukuthi ubemzonda,+ 5 ngokwesibonelo, nxa angayatheza inkuni egangeni lomakhelwane wakhe,* abesephakamisa ihloka ukuthi agamule isihlahla, ihloka beselikhumuka emphinini liyetshaya umakhelwane wakhe afe, umbulali kumele abalekele kwelinye lamadolobho lawo ukuze aphile.+

7 Ngakho banikela kuNkulunkulu idolobho leKhedeshi+ eliseGalile ezintabeni zakoNafithali, leShekhemu+ ezintabeni zako-Efrayimi leKhiriyathi-abha+ esezintabeni zakoJuda, ebizwa langokuthi yiHebroni. Amadolobho la yiwo ababezaphephela kuwo. 8 Empumalanga kweJerikho phetsheya kukaJodani bakhetha iBhezeri+ esendaweni eyinkangala emagcekeni esizwana sakoRubheni. Bakhetha leRamothi+ eseGiliyadi esizwaneni sakoGadi, leGolani+ eseBhashani esizwaneni sakoManase.+

9 Amadolobho la yiwo akhethwayo ukuze loba ngubani owako-Israyeli kumbe owesinye isizwe ohlala phakathi kwabo abalekele khona nxa angabulala umuntu ngengozi. Wayezaphephela khona+ ukuze lowo ofuna ukuphindisela* angambulali engakathonisiswa phambi kwebandla.+
