Atau jika ia membunuh orang itu dengan benda kayu di tangan yang mungkin menyebabkan matinya seseorang, sehingga orang itu mati, maka ia seorang pembunuh; pastilah pembunuh itu dibunuh.
Atau jikalau dipalunya akan dia dengan perkakasan kayu yang pada tangannya, yang dari sebabnya orang boleh mati, sehingga matilah juga orang itu, maka ialah orang pembunuh adanya, tak akan jangan orang pembunuh itu mati dibunuh juga hukumnya.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Or if he smote him with an hand weapon of wood,.... A stick, or staff, or club:
wherewith he may die, and he die; which is sufficient to kill a man, as the same Targum explains it; and a man dies with the blow that is given him by it:
he is a murderer, and the murderer shall surely be put to death; no pardon given him, or the benefit of the city of refuge allowed him.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The sense is: Inasmuch as to take another man’s life by any means whatsoever is murder, and exposes the murderer to the penalty of retaliation; so, if the deed is done in hostility, it is in truth actual murder, and the murderer shall be slain; but if it be not done in hostility, then the congregation shall interpose to stop the avenger’s hand.
Numbers 35:19
When he meeteth him - Provided, of course, it were without a city of refuge.
Numbers 35:24
The case of the innocent slayer is here contemplated. In a doubtful case there would necessarily have to be a judicial decision as to the guilt or innocence of the person who claimed the right of asylum.
Numbers 35:25
The homicide was safe only within the walls of his city of refuge. He became a virtual exile from his home. The provisions here made serve to mark the gravity of the act of manslaughter, even when not premeditated; and the inconveniences attending on them fell, as is right and fair, upon him who committed the deed.
Unto the death of the high priest - The atoning death of the Saviour cast its shadow before on the statute-book of the Law and on the annals of Jewish history. The high priest, as the head and representative of the whole chosen family of sacerdotal mediators, as exclusively entrusted with some of the chief priestly functions, as alone privileged to make yearly atonement within the holy of holies, and to gain, from the mysterious Urim and Thummim, special revelations of the will of God, was, preeminently, a type of Christ. And thus the death of each successive high priest presignified that death of Christ by which the captives were to be freed, and the remembrance of transgressions made to cease.
