When the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath cut offH3772 the nationsH1471, whose landH776 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 givethH5414 thee, and thou succeedestH3423 them, and dwellestH3427 in their citiesH5892, and in their housesH1004; {succeedest: Heb. inheritest, or, possessest}
Thou shalt separateH914 threeH7969 citiesH5892 for thee in the midstH8432 of thy landH776, which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 givethH5414 thee to possessH3423 it.
Thou shalt prepareH3559 thee a wayH1870, and divide the coastsH1366 of thy landH776, which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 giveth thee to inheritH5157, into three partsH8027, that every slayerH7523 may fleeH5127 thither.
And this is the caseH1697 of the slayerH7523, which shall fleeH5127 thither, that he may liveH2425: Whoso killethH5221 his neighbourH7453 ignorantlyH1097+H1847, whom he hatedH8130 not in timeH8543 pastH8032; {in…: Heb. from yesterday the third day}
As when a man goethH935 into the woodH3293 with his neighbourH7453 to hewH2404 woodH6086, and his handH3027 fetcheth a strokeH5080 with the axeH1631 to cut downH3772 the treeH6086, and the headH1270 slippethH5394 from the helveH6086, and lightethH4672 upon his neighbourH7453, that he dieH4191; he shall fleeH5127 unto oneH259 of those citiesH5892, and liveH2425: {head: Heb. iron} {helve: Heb. wood} {lighteth…: Heb. findeth}
Lest the avengerH1350 of the bloodH1818 pursueH7291 the slayerH310+H7523, whileH3588 his heartH3824 is hotH3179, and overtakeH5381 him, because the wayH1870 is longH7235, and slayH5221 himH5315; whereas he was not worthyH4941 of deathH4194, inasmuch asH3588 he hatedH8130 him not in timeH8543 pastH8032. {slay…: Heb. smite him in life} {in…: Heb. from yesterday the third day}
Wherefore I commandH6680 thee, sayingH559, Thou shalt separateH914 threeH7969 citiesH5892 for thee.
And if the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 enlargeH7337 thy coastH1366, as he hath swornH7650 unto thy fathersH1, and giveH5414 thee all the landH776 which he promisedH1696 to giveH5414 unto thy fathersH1;
If thou shalt keepH8104 all these commandmentsH4687 to doH6213 them, which I commandH6680 thee this dayH3117, to loveH157 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, and to walkH3212 everH3117 in his waysH1870; then shalt thou addH3254 threeH7969 citiesH5892 more for thee, beside these threeH7969:
That innocentH5355 bloodH1818 be not shedH8210 inH7130 thy landH776, which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 givethH5414 thee for an inheritanceH5159, and so bloodH1818 be upon thee.
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}
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.
Thine eyeH5869 shall not pityH2347 him, but thou shalt put awayH1197 the guilt of innocentH5355 bloodH1818 from IsraelH3478, that it may go wellH2895 with thee.
Thou shalt not removeH5253 thy neighbour'sH7453 landmarkH1366, which they of old timeH7223 have setH1379 in thine inheritanceH5159, which thou shalt inheritH5157 in the landH776 that the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 givethH5414 thee to possessH3423 it.
OneH259 witnessH5707 shall not rise upH6965 against a manH376 for any iniquityH5771, or for any sinH2403, in any sinH2399 that he sinnethH2398: at the mouthH6310 of twoH8147 witnessesH5707, or at the mouthH6310 of threeH7969 witnessesH5707, shall the matterH1697 be establishedH6965.
If a falseH2555 witnessH5707 rise upH6965 against any manH376 to testifyH6030 against him that which is wrongH5627; {that…: or, falling away}
Then bothH8147 the menH582, between whom the controversyH7379 is, shall standH5975 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, beforeH6440 the priestsH3548 and the judgesH8199, which shall be in those daysH3117;
And the judgesH8199 shall make diligentH3190 inquisitionH1875: and, behold, if the witnessH5707 be a falseH8267 witnessH5707, and hath testifiedH6030 falselyH8267 against his brotherH251;
Then shall ye doH6213 unto him, as he had thoughtH2161 to have doneH6213 unto his brotherH251: so shalt thou putH1197 the evilH7451 awayH1197 from amongH7130 you.
And those which remainH7604 shall hearH8085, and fearH3372, and shall henceforthH3254 commitH6213 no more anyH1697 such evilH7451 amongH7130 you.
And thine eyeH5869 shall not pityH2347; but lifeH5315 shall go for lifeH5315, eyeH5869 for eyeH5869, toothH8127 for toothH8127, handH3027 for handH3027, footH7272 for footH7272.

Every placeH4725 whereon the solesH3709 of your feetH7272 shall treadH1869 shall be yours: from the wildernessH4057 and LebanonH3844, from the riverH5104, the riverH5104 EuphratesH6578, even unto the uttermostH314 seaH3220 shall your coastH1366 be.
There shall no manH376 be able to standH3320 beforeH6440 you: for the LORDH3068 your GodH430 shall layH5414 the fearH6343 of you and the dreadH4172 of you uponH6440 all the landH776 that ye shall treadH1869 upon, as he hath saidH1696 unto you.
When the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 shall enlargeH7337 thy borderH1366, as he hath promisedH1696 thee, and thou shalt sayH559, I will eatH398 fleshH1320, because thy soulH5315 longethH183 to eatH398 fleshH1320; thou mayest eatH398 fleshH1320, whatsoever thy soulH5315 lusteth afterH185.
In the sameH1931 dayH3117 the LORDH3068 madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with AbramH87, sayingH559, Unto thy seedH2233 have I givenH5414 this landH776, from the riverH5104 of EgyptH4714 unto the greatH1419 riverH5104, the riverH5104 EuphratesH6578:
The KenitesH7017, and the KenizzitesH7074, and the KadmonitesH6935,
And the HittitesH2850, and the PerizzitesH6522, and the RephaimsH7497,
And the AmoritesH567, and the CanaanitesH3669, and the GirgashitesH1622, and the JebusitesH2983.
And thy seedH2233 shall be as the dustH6083 of the earthH776, and thou shalt spread abroadH6555 to the westH3220, and to the eastH6924, and to the northH6828, and to the southH5045: and in thee and in thy seedH2233 shall all the familiesH4940 of the earthH127 be blessedH1288. {spread…: Heb. break forth}
And I will setH7896 thy boundsH1366 from the RedH5488 seaH3220 even unto the seaH3220 of the PhilistinesH6430, and from the desertH4057 unto the riverH5104: for I will deliverH5414 the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776 into your handH3027; and thou shalt drive them outH1644 beforeH6440 thee.
For I will cast outH3423 the nationsH1471 beforeH6440 thee, and enlargeH7337 thy bordersH1366: neither shall any manH376 desireH2530 thy landH776, when thou shalt go upH5927 to appearH7200 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 thriceH6471+H7969 in the yearH8141.
