Verse 17
And if he smite him with throwing a stone ,.... "Or with a stone of the hand" F17 באבן יד . , which the Jews interpret of a stone so big as to fill a man's hand, and so
wherewith he may die ; at whom it is thrown; is sufficient to cause his death, if struck with it; so the Targum of Jonathan paraphrases it of a"stone of fulness of hands, which is sufficient that a man may die with it,'or be killed by it:
and he die ; by the blow he receives from it, either immediately or in a short time after:
he is a murderer, and the murderer shall surely be put to death ; as in the above case.
