On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

): Whoso sheddeth man's blood, whether upon a sudden provocation or having premeditated it (for rash anger is heart-murder as well as malice prepense, Matt. v. 21, 22 ), by man shall his blood be shed, that is, by the magistrate, or whoever is appointed or allowed to be the avenger of blood.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Whoso sheddeth man's blood . . . for in the image of God made he man--It is true that image has been injured by the fall, but it is not lost. In this view, a high value is attached to the life of every man, even the poorest and humblest, and an awful criminality is involved in the destruction of it.
