H3068
And the LORD
H1696
spake
[H8762]
H4872
unto Moses
H6160
in the plains
H4124
of Moab
H3383
by Jordan
H3405
near Jericho
H559
, saying
[H8800]
,
2
H6680
Command
[H8761]
H1121
the children
H3478
of Israel
H5414
, that they give
[H8804]
H3881
unto the Levites
H5159
of the inheritance
H272
of their possession
H5892
cities
H3427
to dwell in
[H8800]
H5414
; and ye shall give
[H8799]
H3881
also unto the Levites
H4054
suburbs
H5892
for the cities
H5439
round about them.
3
H5892
And the cities
H3427
shall they have to dwell in
[H8800]
H4054
; and the suburbs
H929
of them shall be for their cattle
H7399
, and for their goods
H2416
, and for all their beasts.
4
H4054
And the suburbs
H5892
of the cities
H5414
, which ye shall give
[H8799]
H3881
unto the Levites
H7023
, shall reach from the wall
H5892
of the city
H2351
and outward
H505
a thousand
H520
cubits
H5439
round about.
5
H4058
And ye shall measure
[H8804]
H2351
from without
H5892
the city
H6924
on the east
H6285
side
H505
two thousand
H520
cubits
H5045
, and on the south
H6285
side
H505
two thousand
H520
cubits
H3220
, and on the west
H6285
side
H505
two thousand
H520
cubits
H6828
, and on the north
H6285
side
H505
two thousand
H520
cubits
H5892
; and the city
H8432
shall be in the midst
H4054
: this shall be to them the suburbs
H5892
of the cities.
6
H5892
And among the cities
H5414
which ye shall give
[H8799]
H3881
unto the Levites
H8337
there shall be six
H5892
cities
H4733
for refuge
H5414
, which ye shall appoint
[H8799]
H7523
for the manslayer
[H8802]
H5127
, that he may flee
[H8800]
H5414
thither: and to them ye shall add
[H8799]
H705
forty
H8147
and two
H5892
cities.
7
H5892
So all the cities
H5414
which ye shall give
[H8799]
H3881
to the Levites
H705
shall be forty
H8083
and eight
H5892
cities
H4054
: them shall ye give with their suburbs.
8
H5892
And the cities
H5414
which ye shall give
[H8799]
H272
shall be of the possession
H1121
of the children
H3478
of Israel
H7227
: from them that have many
H7235
ye shall give many
[H8686]
H4592
; but from them that have few
H4591
ye shall give few
[H8686]
H376
: every one
H5414
shall give
[H8799]
H5892
of his cities
H3881
unto the Levites
H6310
according
H5159
to his inheritance
H5157
which he inheriteth
[H8799]
.
10
H1696
Speak
[H8761]
H1121
unto the children
H3478
of Israel
H559
, and say
[H8804]
H5674
unto them, When ye be come over
[H8802]
H3383
Jordan
H776
into the land
H3667
of Canaan;
11
H7136
Then ye shall appoint
[H8689]
H5892
you cities
H5892
to be cities
H4733
of refuge
H7523
for you; that the slayer
[H8802]
H5127
may flee
[H8804]
H5221
thither, which killeth
[H8688]
H5315
any person
H7684
at unawares.
12
H5892
And they shall be unto you cities
H4733
for refuge
H1350
from the avenger
[H8802]
H7523
; that the manslayer
[H8802]
H4191
die
[H8799]
H5975
not, until he stand
[H8800]
H6440
before
H5712
the congregation
H4941
in judgment.
13
H5892
And of these cities
H5414
which ye shall give
[H8799]
H8337
six
H5892
cities
H4733
shall ye have for refuge.
14
H5414
Ye shall give
[H8799]
H7969
three
H5892
cities
H5676
on this side
H3383
Jordan
H7969
, and three
H5892
cities
H5414
shall ye give
[H8799]
H776
in the land
H3667
of Canaan
H5892
, which shall be cities
H4733
of refuge.
15
H8337
These six
H5892
cities
H4733
shall be a refuge
H1121
, both for the children
H3478
of Israel
H1616
, and for the stranger
H8453
, and for the sojourner
H8432
among
H5221
them: that every one that killeth
[H8688]
H5315
any person
H7684
unawares
H5127
may flee
[H8800]
thither.
16
H5221
And if he smite
[H8689]
H3627
him with an instrument
H1270
of iron
H4191
, so that he die
[H8799]
H7523
, he is a murderer
[H8802]
H7523
: the murderer
[H8802]
H4191
shall surely
[H8800]
H4191
be put to death
[H8714]
.
17
H5221
And if he smite
[H8689]
H3027
him with throwing
H68
a stone
H4191
, wherewith he may die
[H8799]
H4191
, and he die
[H8799]
H7523
, he is a murderer
[H8802]
H7523
: the murderer
[H8802]
H4191
shall surely
[H8800]
H4191
be put to death
[H8714]
.
18
H5221
Or if he smite
[H8689]
H3027
him with an hand
H3627
weapon
H6086
of wood
H4191
, wherewith he may die
[H8799]
H4191
, and he die
[H8799]
H7523
, he is a murderer
[H8802]
H7523
: the murderer
[H8802]
H4191
shall surely
[H8800]
H4191
be put to death
[H8714]
.
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.
