Deuteronomy 19:1-10 When the LORD thy God hath cut off the nations, whose land the LORD thy God giveth thee, and thou succeedest them, and dwellest in their cities, and in their houses;

1 H3068 When the LORD H430 thy God H3772 [H8686] hath cut off H1471 the nations, H776 whose land H3068 the LORD H430 thy God H5414 [H8802] giveth H3423 [H8804] thee, and thou succeedest H3427 [H8804] them, and dwellest H5892 in their cities, H1004 and in their houses;

2 H914 [H8686] Thou shalt set apart H7969 three H5892 cities H8432 for thee in the midst H776 of thy land, H3068 which the LORD H430 thy God H5414 [H8802] giveth H3423 [H8800] thee to possess it.

3 H3559 [H8686] Thou shalt prepare H1870 thee a way, H1366 and divide the bounds H776 of thy land, H3068 which the LORD H430 thy God H5157 [H8686] giveth thee to inherit, H8027 [H8765] into three parts, H7523 [H8802] that every slayer H5127 [H8800] may flee there.

4 H1697 And this is the case H7523 [H8802] of the slayer, H5127 [H8799] who shall flee H2425 [H8804] there, that he may live: H5221 [H8686] Whoever killeth H7453 his neighbour H1097 H1847 unintentionally, H8130 [H8802] whom he hated H8543 not in time H8032 past;

5 H935 [H8799] As when a man goeth H3293 into the forest H7453 with his neighbour H2404 [H8800] to hew H6086 wood, H3027 and his hand H5080 [H8738] maketh a stroke H1631 with the axe H3772 [H8800] to cut down H6086 the tree, H1270 and the head H5394 [H8804] slippeth H6086 from the helve, H4672 [H8804] and falleth H7453 upon his neighbour, H4191 [H8804] that he dieth; H5127 [H8799] he shall flee H259 to one H5892 of these cities, H2425 [H8804] and live:

6 H1350 [H8802] Lest the avenger H1818 [H8676] of blood H7291 [H8799] shall pursue H310 H7523 [H8802] the slayer, H3588 while H3824 his heart H3179 [H8799] is hot, H5381 [H8689] and overtake H1870 him, because the way H7235 [H8799] is long, H5221 [H8689] and slay H5315 him; H4941 though he was not worthy H4194 of death, H3588 inasmuch as H8130 [H8802] he hated H8543 him not in time H8032 past.

7 H6680 [H8764] Therefore I command H559 [H8800] thee, saying, H914 [H8686] Thou shalt set apart H7969 three H5892 cities for thee.

8 H3068 And if the LORD H430 thy God H7337 [H8686] shall enlarge H1366 thy land, H7650 [H8738] as he hath sworn H1 to thy fathers, H5414 [H8804] and give H776 thee all the land H1696 [H8765] which he promised H5414 [H8800] to give H1 to thy fathers;

9 H8104 [H8799] If thou shalt keep H4687 all these commandments H6213 [H8800] to do H6680 [H8764] them, which I command H3117 thee this day, H157 [H8800] to love H3068 the LORD H430 thy God, H3212 [H8800] and to walk H3117 ever H1870 in his ways; H3254 [H8804] then shalt thou add H7969 three H5892 cities H7969 more for thee, besides these three:

10 H5355 That innocent H1818 blood H8210 [H8735] may not be shed H7130 in H776 thy land, H3068 which the LORD H430 thy God H5414 [H8802] giveth H5159 thee for an inheritance, H1818 and so blood be upon thee.
