5 As when a man goeth into the wood with his neighbour to hewwood, and his hand fetcheth a stroke with the ax to cut down the tree, and the headslippeth from the helve, and lighteth upon his neighbour, that he die; he shall flee unto one of those cities, and live:
5 For example, if a man goes into the woods with his neighbour for the purpose of cutting down trees, and when he takes his axe to give a blow to the tree, the head of the axe comes off, and falling on to his neighbour gives him a wound causing his death; then the man may go in flight to one of these towns and be safe:
5 가령 사람이 그 이웃과 함께 벌목하러 삼림에 들어가서 손에 도끼를 들고 벌목하려고 찍을 때에 도끼가 자루에서 빠져 그 이웃을 맞춰 그로 죽게함 같은 것이라 이런 사람은 그 성읍중 하나로 도피하여 생명을 보존할 것이니라
[x]MKJV: even he who goes into the wood with his neighbor to cut wood, and his hand brings a stroke with the axe to cut down the tree, and the head slips from the wood and lights on his neighbor so that he dies; he shall flee to one of those cities and live, BBE: For example, if a man goes into the woods with his neighbour for the purpose of cutting down trees, and when he takes his axe to give a blow to the tree, the head of the axe comes off, and falling on to his neighbour gives him a wound causing his death; then the man may go in flight to one of these towns and be safe: KAV: 가령 사람이 자기 이웃과 함께 나무를 베러 숲에 들어가 손에 도끼를 들고 나무를 베려고 찍을 때에 도끼가 자루에서 빠져나와 그의 이웃을 맞추어 그를 죽게 하는 경우 같은 것이라. 그는 그 도시들 중 하나로 도피하여 살 것이니라.
