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.
Querverweise zu 4. Mose 35,33 4Mo 35,33
And the landH776 is defiledH2930: therefore I do visitH6485 the iniquityH5771 thereof upon it, and the landH776 itself vomiteth outH6958 her inhabitantsH3427.
If one be foundH4672 slainH2491 in the landH127 which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 givethH5414 thee to possessH3423 it, lyingH5307 in the fieldH7704, and it be not knownH3045 who hath slainH5221 him:
Then thy eldersH2205 and thy judgesH8199 shall come forthH3318, and they shall measureH4058 unto the citiesH5892 which are round aboutH5439 him that is slainH2491:
And it shall be, that the cityH5892 which is nextH7138 unto the slain manH2491, even the eldersH2205 of that cityH5892 shall takeH3947 an heiferH1241+H5697, which hath not been wrought withH5647, and which hath not drawnH4900 in the yokeH5923;
And the eldersH2205 of that cityH5892 shall bring downH3381 the heiferH5697 unto a roughH386 valleyH5158, which is neither earedH5647 nor sownH2232, and shall strike offH6202 the heifer'sH5697 neckH6202 there in the valleyH5158:
And the priestsH3548 the sonsH1121 of LeviH3878 shall come nearH5066; for them the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath chosenH977 to ministerH8334 unto him, and to blessH1288 in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068; and by their wordH6310 shall every controversyH7379 and every strokeH5061 be tried: {word: Heb. mouth}
And all the eldersH2205 of that cityH5892, that are nextH7138 unto the slainH2491 man, shall washH7364 their handsH3027 over the heiferH5697 that is beheadedH6202 in the valleyH5158:
And they shall answerH6030 and sayH559, Our handsH3027 have not shedH8210 this bloodH1818, neither have our eyesH5869 seenH7200 it.
Be mercifulH3722, O LORDH3068, unto thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, whom thou hast redeemedH6299, and layH5414 not innocentH5355 bloodH1818 unto thy peopleH5971 of Israel'sH3478 chargeH7130. And the bloodH1818 shall be forgivenH3722 them. {unto thy people of: Heb. in the midst, etc}
His bodyH5038 shall not remain all nightH3885 upon the treeH6086, but thou shalt in any wiseH6912 buryH6912 him that dayH3117; (for he that is hangedH8518 is accursedH7045 of GodH430;) that thy landH127 be not defiledH2930, which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 givethH5414 thee for an inheritanceH5159. {accursed…: Heb. the curse of God}
Notwithstanding the LORDH3068 turnedH7725 not from the fiercenessH2740 of his greatH1419 wrathH639, wherewith his angerH639 was kindledH2734 against JudahH3063, because of all the provocationsH3708 that ManassehH4519 had provokedH3707 him withal. {provocations: Heb. angers}
And also for the innocentH5355 bloodH1818 that he shedH8210: for he filledH4390 JerusalemH3389 with innocentH5355 bloodH1818; which the LORDH3068 wouldH14 not pardonH5545.
They joinedH6775 themselves also unto BaalpeorH1187, and ateH398 the sacrificesH2077 of the deadH4191.
For, behold, the LORDH3068 cometh outH3318 of his placeH4725 to punishH6485 the inhabitantsH3427 of the earthH776 for their iniquityH5771: the earthH776 also shall discloseH1540 her bloodH1818, and shall no more coverH3680 her slainH2026. {blood: Heb. bloods}
SonH1121 of manH120, sayH559 unto her, Thou art the landH776 that is not cleansedH2891, nor rainedH1656 upon in the dayH3117 of indignationH2195.
There is a conspiracyH7195 of her prophetsH5030 in the midstH8432 thereof, like a roaringH7580 lionH738 raveningH2963 the preyH2964; they have devouredH398 soulsH5315; they have takenH3947 the treasureH2633 and precious thingsH3366; they have made her manyH7235 widowsH490 in the midstH8432 thereof.
Her priestsH3548 have violatedH2554 my lawH8451, and have profanedH2490 mine holy thingsH6944: they have put no differenceH914 between the holyH6944 and profaneH2455, neither have they shewedH3045 difference between the uncleanH2931 and the cleanH2889, and have hidH5956 their eyesH5869 from my sabbathsH7676, and I am profanedH2490 amongH8432 them. {violated: Heb. offered violence to}
Her princesH8269 in the midstH7130 thereof are like wolvesH2061 raveningH2963 the preyH2964, to shedH8210 bloodH1818, and to destroyH6 soulsH5315, to getH1214 dishonest gainH1215.
By swearingH422, and lyingH3584, and killingH7523, and stealingH1589, and committing adulteryH5003, they break outH6555, and bloodH1818 touchethH5060 bloodH1818. {blood: Heb. bloods}
Therefore shall the landH776 mournH56, and every one that dwellethH3427 therein shall languishH535, with the beastsH2416 of the fieldH7704, and with the fowlsH5775 of heavenH8064; yea, the fishesH1709 of the seaH3220 also shall be taken awayH622.
Now also manyH7227 nationsH1471 are gatheredH622 against thee, that sayH559, Let her be defiledH2610, and let our eyeH5869 lookH2372 upon ZionH6726.
WhereforeG5620 ye be witnessesG3140 unto yourselvesG1438, thatG3754 ye areG2075 the childrenG5207 of them which killedG5407 the prophetsG4396.
FillG4137 yeG5210 upG4137 thenG2532 the measureG3358 of yourG5216 fathersG3962.
Ye serpentsG3789, ye generationG1081 of vipersG2191, howG4459 can yeG5343 escapeG575 the damnationG2920 of hellG1067?
WhereforeG1223+G5124, beholdG2400, IG1473 sendG649 untoG4314 youG5209 prophetsG4396, andG2532 wise menG4680, andG2532 scribesG1122: andG2532 some ofG1537 themG846 ye shall killG615 andG2532 crucifyG4717; andG2532 some ofG1537 themG846 shall ye scourgeG3146 inG1722 yourG5216 synagoguesG4864, andG2532 persecuteG1377 them fromG575 cityG4172 toG1519 cityG4172:
ThatG3704 uponG1909 youG5209 may comeG2064 allG3956 the righteousG1342 bloodG129 shedG1632 uponG1909 the earthG1093, fromG575 the bloodG129 of righteousG1342 AbelG6 untoG2193 the bloodG129 of ZachariasG2197 sonG5207 of BarachiasG914, whomG3739 ye slewG5407 betweenG3342 the templeG3485 andG2532 the altarG2379.
