And the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 unto MosesH4872 in the plainsH6160 of MoabH4124 by JordanH3383 near JerichoH3405, sayingH559,
CommandH6680 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, that they giveH5414 unto the LevitesH3881 of the inheritanceH5159 of their possessionH272 citiesH5892 to dwell inH3427; and ye shall giveH5414 also unto the LevitesH3881 suburbsH4054 for the citiesH5892 round aboutH5439 them.
And the citiesH5892 shall they have to dwell inH3427; and the suburbsH4054 of them shall be for their cattleH929, and for their goodsH7399, and for all their beastsH2416.
And the suburbsH4054 of the citiesH5892, which ye shall giveH5414 unto the LevitesH3881, shall reach from the wallH7023 of the cityH5892 and outwardH2351 a thousandH505 cubitsH520 round aboutH5439.
And ye shall measureH4058 from withoutH2351 the cityH5892 on the eastH6924 sideH6285 two thousandH505 cubitsH520, and on the southH5045 sideH6285 two thousandH505 cubitsH520, and on the westH3220 sideH6285 two thousandH505 cubitsH520, and on the northH6828 sideH6285 two thousandH505 cubitsH520; and the cityH5892 shall be in the midstH8432: this shall be to them the suburbsH4054 of the citiesH5892.
And among the citiesH5892 which ye shall giveH5414 unto the LevitesH3881 there shall be sixH8337 citiesH5892 for refugeH4733, which ye shall appointH5414 for the manslayerH7523, that he may fleeH5127 thither: and to them ye shall addH5414 fortyH705 and twoH8147 citiesH5892. {to them…: Heb. above them ye shall give}
So all the citiesH5892 which ye shall giveH5414 to the LevitesH3881 shall be fortyH705 and eightH8083 citiesH5892: them shall ye give with their suburbsH4054.
And the citiesH5892 which ye shall giveH5414 shall be of the possessionH272 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: from them that have manyH7227 ye shall give manyH7235; but from them that have fewH4592 ye shall give fewH4591: every oneH376 shall giveH5414 of his citiesH5892 unto the LevitesH3881 accordingH6310 to his inheritanceH5159 which he inheritethH5157. {he…: Heb. they inherit}
And the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 unto MosesH4872, sayingH559,
SpeakH1696 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and sayH559 unto them, When ye be come overH5674 JordanH3383 into the landH776 of CanaanH3667;
Then ye shall appointH7136 you citiesH5892 to be citiesH5892 of refugeH4733 for you; that the slayerH7523 may fleeH5127 thither, which killethH5221 any personH5315 at unawaresH7684. {at…: Heb. by error}
And they shall be unto you citiesH5892 for refugeH4733 from the avengerH1350; that the manslayerH7523 dieH4191 not, until he standH5975 beforeH6440 the congregationH5712 in judgmentH4941.
And of these citiesH5892 which ye shall giveH5414 sixH8337 citiesH5892 shall ye have for refugeH4733.
Ye shall giveH5414 threeH7969 citiesH5892 on this sideH5676 JordanH3383, and threeH7969 citiesH5892 shall ye giveH5414 in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, which shall be citiesH5892 of refugeH4733.
These sixH8337 citiesH5892 shall be a refugeH4733, both for the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and for the strangerH1616, and for the sojournerH8453 amongH8432 them: that every one that killethH5221 any personH5315 unawaresH7684 may fleeH5127 thither.
And if he smiteH5221 him with an instrumentH3627 of ironH1270, so that he dieH4191, he is a murdererH7523: the murdererH7523 shall surelyH4191 be put to deathH4191.
And if he smiteH5221 him with throwingH3027 a stoneH68, wherewith he may dieH4191, and he dieH4191, he is a murdererH7523: the murdererH7523 shall surelyH4191 be put to deathH4191. {with…: Heb. with a stone of the hand}
Or if he smiteH5221 him with an handH3027 weaponH3627 of woodH6086, wherewith he may dieH4191, and he dieH4191, he is a murdererH7523: the murdererH7523 shall surelyH4191 be put to deathH4191.
The revengerH1350 of bloodH1818 himself shall slayH4191 the murdererH7523: when he meetethH6293 him, heH1931 shall slayH4191 him.
But if he thrustH1920 him of hatredH8135, or hurlH7993 at him by laying of waitH6660, that he dieH4191;
Or in enmityH342 smiteH5221 him with his handH3027, that he dieH4191: he that smoteH5221 him shall surelyH4191 be put to deathH4191; for he is a murdererH7523: the revengerH1350 of bloodH1818 shall slayH4191 the murdererH7523, when he meetethH6293 him.
But if he thrustH1920 him suddenlyH6621 withoutH3808 enmityH342, or have castH7993 upon him any thingH3627 without laying of waitH6660,
Or with any stoneH68, wherewith a man may dieH4191, seeingH7200 him notH3808, and castH5307 it upon him, that he dieH4191, and was not his enemyH341, neither soughtH1245 his harmH7451:
Then the congregationH5712 shall judgeH8199 between the slayerH5221 and the revengerH1350 of bloodH1818 according to these judgmentsH4941:
And the congregationH5712 shall deliverH5337 the slayerH7523 out of the handH3027 of the revengerH1350 of bloodH1818, and the congregationH5712 shall restoreH7725 him to the cityH5892 of his refugeH4733, whither he was fledH5127: and he shall abideH3427 in it unto the deathH4194 of the highH1419 priestH3548, which was anointedH4886 with the holyH6944 oilH8081.
But if the slayerH7523 shall at any timeH3318 comeH3318 without the borderH1366 of the cityH5892 of his refugeH4733, whither he was fledH5127;
And the revengerH1350 of bloodH1818 findH4672 him withoutH2351 the bordersH1366 of the cityH5892 of his refugeH4733, and the revengerH1350 of bloodH1818 killH7523 the slayerH7523; he shall not be guilty of bloodH1818: {he…: Heb. no blood shall be to him}
Because he should have remainedH3427 in the cityH5892 of his refugeH4733 until the deathH4194 of the highH1419 priestH3548: but afterH310 the deathH4194 of the highH1419 priestH3548 the slayerH7523 shall returnH7725 into the landH776 of his possessionH272.
So these things shall be for a statuteH2708 of judgmentH4941 unto you throughout your generationsH1755 in all your dwellingsH4186.
Whoso killethH5221 any personH5315, the murdererH7523 shall be put to deathH7523 by the mouthH6310 of witnessesH5707: but oneH259 witnessH5707 shall not testifyH6030 against any personH5315 to cause him to dieH4191.
Moreover ye shall takeH3947 no satisfactionH3724 for the lifeH5315 of a murdererH7523, which is guiltyH7563 of deathH4191: but he shall be surelyH4191 put to deathH4191. {guilty…: Heb. faulty to die}
And ye shall takeH3947 no satisfactionH3724 for him that is fledH5127 to the cityH5892 of his refugeH4733, that he should come againH7725 to dwellH3427 in the landH776, until the deathH4194 of the priestH3548.
So ye shall not polluteH2610 the landH776 wherein ye are: for bloodH1818 it defilethH2610 the landH776: and the landH776 cannot be cleansedH3722 of the bloodH1818 that is shedH8210 therein, but by the bloodH1818 of him that shedH8210 it. {the land cannot…: Heb. there can be no expiation for the land}
DefileH2930 not therefore the landH776 which ye shall inhabitH3427, whereinH8432 I dwellH7931: for I the LORDH3068 dwellH7931 amongH8432 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.

The revengerH1350 of bloodH1818 himself shall slayH4191 the murdererH7523: when he meetethH6293 him, heH1931 shall slayH4191 him.
Then the congregationH5712 shall judgeH8199 between the slayerH5221 and the revengerH1350 of bloodH1818 according to these judgmentsH4941:
And the congregationH5712 shall deliverH5337 the slayerH7523 out of the handH3027 of the revengerH1350 of bloodH1818, and the congregationH5712 shall restoreH7725 him to the cityH5892 of his refugeH4733, whither he was fledH5127: and he shall abideH3427 in it unto the deathH4194 of the highH1419 priestH3548, which was anointedH4886 with the holyH6944 oilH8081.
But if the slayerH7523 shall at any timeH3318 comeH3318 without the borderH1366 of the cityH5892 of his refugeH4733, whither he was fledH5127;

Then the eldersH2205 of his cityH5892 shall sendH7971 and fetchH3947 him thence, and deliverH5414 him into the handH3027 of the avengerH1350 of bloodH1818, that he may dieH4191.
That the slayerH7523 that killethH5221 any personH5315 unawaresH7684 and unwittinglyH1847 may fleeH5127 thither: and they shall be your refugeH4733 from the avengerH1350 of bloodH1818.

And if the avengerH1350 of bloodH1818 pursueH7291 afterH310 him, then they shall not deliverH5462 the slayerH7523 up into his handH3027; because he smoteH5221 his neighbourH7453 unwittinglyH1097+H1847, and hatedH8130 him not beforetimeH8543+H8032.
And he shall dwellH3427 in that cityH5892, until he standH5975 beforeH6440 the congregationH5712 for judgmentH4941, and until the deathH4194 of the highH1419 priestH3548 thatH834 shall be in those daysH3117: then shall the slayerH7523 returnH7725, and comeH935 unto his own cityH5892, and unto his own houseH1004, unto the cityH5892 from whence he fledH5127.
And when he that doth fleeH5127 unto oneH259 of those citiesH5892 shall standH5975 at the enteringH6607 of the gateH8179 of the cityH5892, and shall declareH1696 his causeH1697 in the earsH241 of the eldersH2205 of that cityH5892, they shall takeH622 him into the cityH5892 unto them, and giveH5414 him a placeH4725, that he may dwellH3427 among them.
And if the avengerH1350 of bloodH1818 pursueH7291 afterH310 him, then they shall not deliverH5462 the slayerH7523 up into his handH3027; because he smoteH5221 his neighbourH7453 unwittinglyH1097+H1847, and hatedH8130 him not beforetimeH8543+H8032.

These were the citiesH5892 appointedH4152 for all the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and for the strangerH1616 that sojournethH1481 amongH8432 them, that whosoever killethH5221 any personH5315 at unawaresH7684 might fleeH5127 thither, and not dieH4191 by the handH3027 of the avengerH1350 of bloodH1818, until he stoodH5975 beforeH6440 the congregationH5712.
