Deuteronomy 19:4 says, "And this is the case of the slayer, which shall flee thither, that he may live: Whoso killeth his neighbor ignorantly, whom he hated not in time past; 19:5 As when a man goeth into the wood with his neighbor 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 neighbor, that he die; he shall flee unto one of those cities, and live: 19:6 Lest the avenger of the blood pursue the slayer, while his heart is hot, and overtake him, because the way is long, and slay him; whereas he was not worthy of death, inasmuch as he hated him not in time past" God said this same thing earlier almost word for word. Is he absent minded or did he forget? I mean if he is trying to emphasize something why would he emphasize that if you are in an accident run to a different city to protect yourself from the people who he told not to kill. It just doesn't make sense to me. It was an accident!
