KJV_Strongs⁽ⁱ⁾

19 H1350 The revenger [H8802] H1818 of blood H4191 himself shall slay [H8686] H7523 the murderer [H8802] H6293 : when he meeteth [H8800] H1931 him, he H4191 shall slay [H8686] him.

20 H1920 But if he thrust [H8799] H8135 him of hatred H7993 , or hurl [H8689] H6660 at him by laying of wait H4191 , that he die [H8799] ;

21 H342 Or in enmity H5221 smite [H8689] H3027 him with his hand H4191 , that he die [H8799] H5221 : he that smote [H8688] H4191 him shall surely [H8800] H4191 be put to death [H8714] H7523 ; for he is a murderer [H8802] H1350 : the revenger [H8802] H1818 of blood H4191 shall slay [H8686] H7523 the murderer [H8802] H6293 , when he meeteth [H8800] him.

22 H1920 But if he thrust [H8804] H6621 him suddenly H3808 without H342 enmity H7993 , or have cast [H8689] H3627 upon him any thing H6660 without laying of wait,

23 H68 Or with any stone H4191 , wherewith a man may die [H8799] H7200 , seeing [H8800] H3808 him not H5307 , and cast [H8686] H4191 it upon him, that he die [H8799] H341 , and was not his enemy [H8802] H1245 , neither sought [H8764] H7451 his harm:

24 H5712 Then the congregation H8199 shall judge [H8804] H5221 between the slayer [H8688] H1350 and the revenger [H8802] H1818 of blood H4941 according to these judgments:

25 H5712 And the congregation H5337 shall deliver [H8689] H7523 the slayer [H8802] H3027 out of the hand H1350 of the revenger [H8802] H1818 of blood H5712 , and the congregation H7725 shall restore [H8689] H5892 him to the city H4733 of his refuge H5127 , whither he was fled [H8804] H3427 : and he shall abide [H8804] H4194 in it unto the death H1419 of the high H3548 priest H4886 , which was anointed [H8804] H6944 with the holy H8081 oil.

26 H7523 But if the slayer [H8802] H3318 shall at any time [H8800] H3318 come [H8799] H1366 without the border H5892 of the city H4733 of his refuge H5127 , whither he was fled [H8799] ;

27 H1350 And the revenger [H8802] H1818 of blood H4672 find [H8804] H2351 him without H1366 the borders H5892 of the city H4733 of his refuge H1350 , and the revenger [H8802] H1818 of blood H7523 kill [H8804] H7523 the slayer [H8802] H1818 ; he shall not be guilty of blood:

28 H3427 Because he should have remained [H8799] H5892 in the city H4733 of his refuge H4194 until the death H1419 of the high H3548 priest H310 : but after H4194 the death H1419 of the high H3548 priest H7523 the slayer [H8802] H7725 shall return [H8799] H776 into the land H272 of his possession.

29 H2708 So these things shall be for a statute H4941 of judgment H1755 unto you throughout your generations H4186 in all your dwellings.

30 H5221 Whoso killeth [H8688] H5315 any person H7523 , the murderer [H8802] H7523 shall be put to death [H8799] H6310 by the mouth H5707 of witnesses H259 : but one H5707 witness H6030 shall not testify [H8799] H5315 against any person H4191 to cause him to die [H8800] .

31 H3947 Moreover ye shall take [H8799] H3724 no satisfaction H5315 for the life H7523 of a murderer [H8802] H7563 , which is guilty H4191 of death [H8800] H4191 : but he shall be surely [H8800] H4191 put to death [H8714] .

32 H3947 And ye shall take [H8799] H3724 no satisfaction H5127 for him that is fled [H8800] H5892 to the city H4733 of his refuge H7725 , that he should come again [H8800] H3427 to dwell [H8800] H776 in the land H4194 , until the death H3548 of the priest.

33 H2610 So ye shall not pollute [H8686] H776 the land H1818 wherein ye are : for blood H2610 it defileth [H8686] H776 the land H776 : and the land H3722 cannot be cleansed [H8792] H1818 of the blood H8210 that is shed [H8795] H1818 therein, but by the blood H8210 of him that shed [H8802] it.

34 H2930 Defile [H8762] H776 not therefore the land H3427 which ye shall inhabit [H8802] H8432 , wherein H7931 I dwell [H8802] H3068 : for I the LORD H7931 dwell [H8802] H8432 among H1121 the children H3478 of Israel.

KJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁹ The revenger of blood himself shall slay the murderer: when he meeteth him, he shall slay him. ²⁰ But if he thrust him of hatred, or hurl at him by laying of wait, that he die; ²¹ Or in enmity smite him with his hand, that he die: he that smote him shall surely be put to death; for he is a murderer: the revenger of blood shall slay the murderer, when he meeteth him. ²² But if he thrust him suddenly without enmity, or have cast upon him any thing without laying of wait, ²³ Or with any stone, wherewith a man may die, seeing him not, and cast it upon him, that he die, and was not his enemy, neither sought his harm: ²⁴ Then the congregation shall judge between the slayer and the revenger of blood according to these judgments: ²⁵ And the congregation shall deliver the slayer out of the hand of the revenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore him to the city of his refuge, whither he was fled: and he shall abide in it unto the death of the high priest, which was anointed with the holy oil. ²⁶ But if the slayer shall at any time come without the border of the city of his refuge, whither he was fled; ²⁷ And the revenger of blood find him without the borders of the city of his refuge, and the revenger of blood kill the slayer; he shall not be guilty of blood: ²⁸ Because he should have remained in the city of his refuge until the death of the high priest: but after the death of the high priest the slayer shall return into the land of his possession. ²⁹ So these things shall be for a statute of judgment unto you throughout your generations in all your dwellings. ³⁰ Whoso killeth any person, the murderer shall be put to death by the mouth of witnesses: but one witness shall not testify against any person to cause him to die. ³¹ Moreover ye shall take no satisfaction for the life of a murderer, which is guilty of death: but he shall be surely put to death. ³² And ye shall take no satisfaction for him that is fled to the city of his refuge, that he should come again to dwell in the land, until the death of the priest. ³³ So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye are: for blood it defileth the land: and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it. ³⁴ Defile not therefore the land which ye shall inhabit, wherein I dwell: for I the LORD dwell among the children of Israel.
