The Lizzie Borden Statute?

Cartoon of a man in a green robe holding a wooden handle while another man lies on the ground with an axe head nearby, captioned “THE LIZZIE BORDEN STATUTE? Deut 19:5.”

Deuteronomy 19:5

5 For instance, a man may go into the forest with his neighbor to cut wood, and as he swings his ax to fell a tree, the head may fly off and hit his neighbor and kill him. That man may flee to one of these cities and save his life.

STUFF… happens!

Deuteronomy 19:5 addresses the accidental death when an axe head flies off. The cartoon winks at the oddity of the law.
