NLT ©

But if it is an accident and God allows it to happen, I will appoint a place where the slayer can run for safety.

MSG ©

But if there was no intent to kill--if it was an accident, an 'act of God'--I'll set aside a place to which the killer can flee for refuge.

BBE ©

But if he had no evil purpose against him, and God gave him into his hand, I will give you a place to which he may go in flight.

NRSV ©

If it was not premeditated, but came about by an act of God, then I will appoint for you a place to which the killer may flee.

NET Notes

1 tn Heb “if he does not lie in wait” (NASB similar).

2 tn Heb “and God brought into his hand.” The death is unintended, its circumstances outside human control.
