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.

But unto CainH7014 and to his offeringH4503 he had not respectH8159. And CainH7014 was veryH3966 wrothH2734, and his countenanceH6440 fellH5307.
But if a manH376 come presumptuouslyH2102 upon his neighbourH7453, to slayH2026 him with guileH6195; thou shalt takeH3947 him from mine altarH4196, that he may dieH4191.
And CainH7014 talkedH559 withH413 AbelH1893 his brotherH251: and it came to pass, when they were in the fieldH7704, that CainH7014 rose upH6965 againstH413 AbelH1893 his brotherH251, and slew himH2026.
But if any manH376 hateH8130 his neighbourH7453, and lie in waitH693 for him, and rise upH6965 against him, and smiteH5221 him mortallyH5315 that he dieH4191, and fleethH5127 into oneH259 of theseH411 citiesH5892: {mortally: Heb. in life}
And when AbnerH74 was returnedH7725 to HebronH2275, JoabH3097 took him asideH5186 inH413+H8432 the gateH8179 to speakH1696 with him quietlyH7987, and smoteH5221 him there under the fifthH2570 rib, that he diedH4191, for the bloodH1818 of AsahelH6214 his brotherH251. {quietly: or, peaceably}
And it came to pass on the morrowH4283, that the evilH7451 spiritH7307 from GodH430 cameH6743 upon SaulH7586, and he prophesiedH5012 in the midstH8432 of the houseH1004: and DavidH1732 playedH5059 with his handH3027, as at other timesH3117: and there was a javelinH2595 in Saul'sH7586 handH3027.
And AbsalomH53 spakeH1696 unto his brother AmnonH550 neither goodH2896 nor badH7451: for AbsalomH53 hatedH8130 AmnonH550, becauseH1697 he had forcedH6031 his sisterH269 TamarH8559.
And SaulH7586 castH2904 the javelinH2595; for he saidH559, I will smiteH5221 DavidH1732 even to the wallH7023 with it. And DavidH1732 avoided outH5437 of his presenceH6440 twiceH6471.
Now AbsalomH53 had commandedH6680 his servantsH5288, sayingH559, MarkH7200 ye now when Amnon'sH550 heartH3820 is merryH2896 with wineH3196, and when I sayH559 unto you, SmiteH5221 AmnonH550; then killH4191 him, fearH3372 not: have not I commandedH6680 you? be courageousH2388, and be valiantH1121+H2428. {have…: or, will you not, since I have commanded you?} {valiant: Heb. sons of valour}
And SaulH7586 saidH559, Thus shall ye sayH559 to DavidH1732, The kingH4428 desirethH2656 not any dowryH4119, but an hundredH3967 foreskinsH6190 of the PhilistinesH6430, to be avengedH5358 of the king'sH4428 enemiesH341. But SaulH7586 thoughtH2803 to make DavidH1732 fallH5307 by the handH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430.
And the servantsH5288 of AbsalomH53 didH6213 unto AmnonH550 as AbsalomH53 had commandedH6680. Then all the king'sH4428 sonsH1121 aroseH6965, and every manH376 gat him upH7392 upon his muleH6505, and fledH5127. {gat…: Heb. rode}
And the evilH7451 spiritH7307 from the LORDH3068 was upon SaulH7586, as he satH3427 in his houseH1004 with his javelinH2595 in his handH3027: and DavidH1732 playedH5059 with his handH3027.
And SaulH7586 soughtH1245 to smiteH5221 DavidH1732 even to the wallH7023 with the javelinH2595; but he slipped awayH6362 out of Saul'sH7586 presenceH6440, and he smoteH5221 the javelinH2595 into the wallH7023: and DavidH1732 fledH5127, and escapedH4422 that nightH3915.
SaulH7586 also sentH7971 messengersH4397 unto David'sH1732 houseH1004, to watchH8104 him, and to slayH4191 him in the morningH1242: and MichalH4324 David'sH1732 wifeH802 toldH5046 him, sayingH559, If thou saveH4422 not thy lifeH5315 to nightH3915, to morrowH4279 thou shalt be slainH4191.
So MichalH4324 letH3381 DavidH1732 downH3381 through a windowH2474: and he wentH3212, and fledH1272, and escapedH4422.
But AmasaH6021 took no heedH8104 to the swordH2719 that was in Joab'sH3097 handH3027: so he smoteH5221 him therewith in the fifthH2570 rib, and shed outH8210 his bowelsH4578 to the groundH776, and struck him not againH8138; and he diedH4191. So JoabH3097 and AbishaiH52 his brotherH251 pursuedH7291 afterH310 ShebaH7652 the sonH1121 of BichriH1075. {struck…: Heb. doubled not his stroke}
And DavidH1732 fledH1272 from NaiothH5121 in RamahH7414, and cameH935 and saidH559 beforeH6440 JonathanH3083, What have I doneH6213? what is mine iniquityH5771? and what is my sinH2403 beforeH6440 thy fatherH1, that he seekethH1245 my lifeH5315?
Moreover thou knowestH3045 also what JoabH3097 the sonH1121 of ZeruiahH6870 didH6213 to me, and what he didH6213 to the twoH8147 captainsH8269 of the hostsH6635 of IsraelH3478, unto AbnerH74 the sonH1121 of NerH5369, and unto AmasaH6021 the sonH1121 of JetherH3500, whom he slewH2026, and shedH7760 the bloodH1818 of warH4421 in peaceH7965, and putH5414 the bloodH1818 of warH4421 upon his girdleH2290 that was about his loinsH4975, and in his shoesH5275 that were on his feetH7272. {shed: Heb. put}
And it was toldH5046 SaulH7586 that DavidH1732 was comeH935 to KeilahH7084. And SaulH7586 saidH559, GodH430 hath deliveredH5234 him into mine handH3027; for he is shut inH5462, by enteringH935 into a townH5892 that hath gatesH1817 and barsH1280.
And SaulH7586 calledH8085 all the peopleH5971 togetherH8085 to warH4421, to go downH3381 to KeilahH7084, to besiegeH6696 DavidH1732 and his menH582.
And DavidH1732 knewH3045 that SaulH7586 secretly practisedH2790 mischiefH7451 against him; and he saidH559 to AbiatharH54 the priestH3548, Bring hitherH5066 the ephodH646.
DoH6213 therefore according to thy wisdomH2451, and let not his hoar headH7872 go downH3381 to the graveH7585 in peaceH7965.
Moreover, my fatherH1, seeH7200, yea, seeH7200 the skirtH3671 of thy robeH4598 in my handH3027: for in that I cut offH3772 the skirtH3671 of thy robeH4598, and killedH2026 thee not, knowH3045 thou and seeH7200 that there is neither evilH7451 nor transgressionH6588 in mine handH3027, and I have not sinnedH2398 against thee; yet thou huntestH6658 my soulH5315 to takeH3947 it.
And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto him, DoH6213 as he hath saidH1696, and fallH6293 upon him, and buryH6912 him; that thou mayest take awayH5493 the innocentH2600 bloodH1818, which JoabH3097 shedH8210, from me, and from the houseH1004 of my fatherH1.
And the LORDH3068 shall returnH7725 his bloodH1818 upon his own headH7218, who fellH6293 upon twoH8147 menH582 more righteousH6662 and betterH2896 than he, and slewH2026 them with the swordH2719, my fatherH1 DavidH1732 not knowingH3045 thereof, to wit, AbnerH74 the sonH1121 of NerH5369, captainH8269 of the hostH6635 of IsraelH3478, and AmasaH6021 the sonH1121 of JetherH3500, captainH8269 of the hostH6635 of JudahH3063.
Their bloodH1818 shall therefore returnH7725 upon the headH7218 of JoabH3097, and upon the headH7218 of his seedH2233 for everH5769: but upon DavidH1732, and upon his seedH2233, and upon his houseH1004, and upon his throneH3678, shall there be peaceH7965 forH5704 everH5769 from the LORDH3068.
His mouthH6310 is fullH4390 of cursingH423 and deceitH4820 and fraudH8496: under his tongueH3956 is mischiefH5999 and vanityH205. {deceit: Heb. deceits} {vanity: or, iniquity}
He sittethH3427 in the lurking placesH3993 of the villagesH2691: in the secret placesH4565 doth he murderH2026 the innocentH5355: his eyesH5869 are privily setH6845 against the poorH2489. {are…: Heb. hide themselves}
He lieth in waitH693 secretlyH4565 as a lionH738 in his denH5520: he lieth in waitH693 to catchH2414 the poorH6041: he doth catchH2414 the poorH6041, when he drawethH4900 him into his netH7568. {secretly: Heb. in the secret places}
He crouchethH1794, and humblethH7817 himself, that the poorH2426+H2489+H2489 may fallH5307 by his strong onesH6099. {He…: Heb. He breaketh himself} {by…: or, into his strong parts}
He that hatethH8130 dissemblethH5234 with his lipsH8193, and layeth upH7896 deceitH4820 withinH7130 him; {dissembleth: or, is known}
For, lo, the wickedH7563 bendH1869 their bowH7198, they make readyH3559 their arrowH2671 upon the stringH3499, that they may privilyH652+H1119 shootH3384 at the uprightH3477 in heartH3820. {privily: Heb. in darkness}
A manH120 that doeth violenceH6231 to the bloodH1818 of any personH5315 shall fleeH5127 to the pitH953; let no man stayH8551 him.
For without causeH2600 have they hidH2934 for me their netH7568 in a pitH7845, which without causeH2600 they have diggedH2658 for my soulH5315.
AndG2532 rose upG450, and thrustG1544 himG846 out ofG1854 the cityG4172, andG2532 ledG71 himG846 untoG2193 the browG3790 of the hillG3735 whereonG1909+G3739 theirG846 cityG4172 was builtG3618, thatG1519 they might castG2630 himG846 down headlongG2630. {brow: or, edge}
Let destructionH7722 comeH935 upon him at unawaresH3045+H3808; and let his netH7568 that he hath hidH2934 catchH3920 himself: into that very destructionH7722 let him fallH5307. {at…: Heb. which he knoweth not of}
My soulH5315 is amongH8432 lionsH3833: and I lieH7901 even among them that are set on fireH3857, even the sonsH1121 of menH120, whose teethH8127 are spearsH2595 and arrowsH2671, and their tongueH3956 a sharpH2299 swordH2719.
Be thou exaltedH7311, O GodH430, above the heavensH8064; let thy gloryH3519 be above all the earthH776.
They have preparedH3559 a netH7568 for my stepsH6471; my soulH5315 is bowed downH3721: they have diggedH3738 a pitH7882 beforeH6440 me, into the midstH8432 whereof they are fallenH5307 themselves. SelahH5542.
So are the waysH734 of every one that is greedyH1214 of gainH1215; which taketh awayH3947 the lifeH5315 of the ownersH1167 thereof.
ThereforeG1161 HerodiasG2266 had a quarrelG1758 against himG846, andG2532 wouldG2309 have killedG615 himG846; butG2532 she couldG1410 notG3756: {a quarrel: or, an inward grudge}
AndG1161 she went forthG1831, and saidG2036 unto herG846 motherG3384, WhatG5101 shall I askG154? AndG1161 she saidG2036, The headG2776 of JohnG2491 the BaptistG910.
AndG2532 she came inG1525 straightwayG2112 withG3326 hasteG4710 untoG4314 the kingG935, and askedG154, sayingG3004, I willG2309 thatG2443 thou giveG1325 meG3427 by and byG1824 inG1909 a chargerG4094 the headG2776 of JohnG2491 the BaptistG910.
AndG2532 the kingG935 wasG1096 exceeding sorryG4036; yet forG1223 his oath's sakeG3727, andG2532 for their sakes whichG3588 sat with himG4873, he wouldG2309 notG3756 rejectG114 herG846.
AndG5037 there abodeG4160 threeG5140 monthsG3376. And when the JewsG5259+G2453 laidG1096 waitG1917 for himG846, as he was aboutG3195 to sailG321 intoG1519 SyriaG4947, he purposedG1096+G1106 to returnG5290 throughG1223 MacedoniaG3109.
ButG3767 doG3982 notG3361 thouG4771 yieldG3982 unto themG846: forG1063 there lie in wait forG1748 himG846 ofG1537 themG846 more thanG4119 fortyG5062 menG435, whichG3748 have boundG332 themselvesG1438 with an oathG332, that they willG5315 neitherG3383 eatG5315 norG3383 drinkG4095 tillG2193+G3739 they have killedG337 himG846: andG2532 nowG3568 are theyG1526 readyG2092, looking forG4327 a promiseG1860 fromG575 theeG4675.
