Verse 24 is found in chapter 35 of Numbers. The final laws distinguish more precisely between accidental killing and intentional murder.

Entonces la congregación juzgará entre el heridor y el pariente del muerto conforme a estas leyes:
voici les lois d'après lesquelles l'assemblée jugera entre celui qui a frappé et le vengeur du sang.
allora giudichi la raunanza fra il percotitore, e colui che ha la ragion di vendicare il sangue, secondo queste leggi;
Então a congregação julgará entre aquele que feriu e o vingador do sangue, segundo estas leis.
會眾就要照著這些典章,在殺人者和報血仇者中間審判。
