~ avenger of blood ~ 05_DEU_19_12  Then the elders of his city shall send and fetch him thence, and deliver him into the hand of the avenger of blood, that he may die. #, 06_JOS_20_03  That the slayer that killeth [any] person unawares [and] unwittingly may flee thither, and they shall be your refuge from the avenger of blood. #, 06_JOS_20_05  And if the avenger of blood pursue after him, then they shall not deliver the slayer up into his hand; because he smote his neighbour unwittingly, and hated him not beforetime. #, 06_JOS_20_09  These were the cities appointed for all the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them, that whosoever killeth [any] person at unawares might flee thither, and not die by the hand of the avenger of blood, until he stood before the congregation. #,
