In context — Deuteronomy 19:6
Lest the avenger of blood pursue the manslayer because his heart grows hot and he overtakes him—since the road is long—and strikes him so that he dies, though to him there is no judgment of death, for he did not hate him in time past, neither yesterday nor the day before.
