KJV - Deuteronomy 19:5
As when a man goeth into the wood with his neighbour to hew wood, and his hand fetcheth a stroke with the axe to cut down the tree, and the head slippeth from the helve, and lighteth upon his neighbour, that he die; he shall flee unto one of those cities, and live:
When a person goes into the woods with their friend to chop wood, and their axe handle comes loose, hitting their friend and causing death, they must run to a nearby city for safety.
