V.1 And the LORD 3068 spake 1696-17 unto Moses 4872 in the plains 6160 of Moab 4124 by Jordan 3383 [near] Jericho, 3405 saying, 559-2

35:2 Command 6680-16 the children 1121 of Israel, 3478 that they give 5414-1 unto the Levites 3881 of the inheritance 5159 of their possession 272 cities 5892 to dwell in; 3427-2 and ye shall give 5414-4 [also] unto the Levites 3881 suburbs 4054 for the cities 5892 round about 5439 them.

35:3 And the cities 5892 shall they have to dwell in; 3427-2 and the suburbs 4054 of them shall be for their cattle, 929 and for their goods, 7399 and for all their beasts. 2416

35:4 And the suburbs 4054 of the cities, 5892 which ye shall give 5414-4 unto the Levites, 3881 [shall reach] from the wall 7023 of the city 5892 and outward 2351 a thousand 505 cubits 520 round about. 5439

35:5 And ye shall measure 4058-1 from without 2351 the city 5892 on the east 6924 side 6285 two thousand 505 cubits, 520 and on the south 5045 side 6285 two thousand 505 cubits, 520 and on the west 3220 side 6285 two thousand 505 cubits, 520 and on the north 6828 side 6285 two thousand 505 cubits; 520 and the city 5892 [shall be] in the midst: 8432 this shall be to them the suburbs 4054 of the cities. 5892

35:6 And among the cities 5892 which ye shall give 5414-4 unto the Levites 3881 [there shall be] six 8337 cities 5892 for refuge, 4733 which ye shall appoint 5414-4 for the manslayer, 7523-6 that he may flee 5127-2 thither: and to them ye shall add 5414-4 forty 705 and two 8147 cities. 5892

35:7 [So] all the cities 5892 which ye shall give 5414-4 to the Levites 3881 [shall be] forty 705 and eight 8083 cities: 5892 them [shall ye give] with their suburbs. 4054

35:8 And the cities 5892 which ye shall give 5414-4 [shall be] of the possession 272 of the children 1121 of Israel: 3478 from [them that have] many 7227 ye shall give many; 7235-55 but from [them that have] few 4592 ye shall give few: 4591-55 every one 376 shall give 5414-4 of his cities 5892 unto the Levites 3881 according 6310 to his inheritance 5159 which he inheriteth. 5157-4

35:9 And the LORD 3068 spake 1696-17 unto Moses, 4872 saying, 559-2

35:10 Speak 1696-16 unto the children 1121 of Israel, 3478 and say 559-1 unto them, When ye be come over 5674-6 Jordan 3383 into the land 776 of Canaan; 3667

35:11 Then ye shall appoint 7136-52 you cities 5892 to be cities 5892 of refuge 4733 for you; that the slayer 7523-6 may flee 5127-1 thither, which killeth 5221-56 any person 5315 at unawares. 7684

35:12 And they shall be unto you cities 5892 for refuge 4733 from the avenger; 1350-6 that the manslayer 7523-6 die 4191-4 not, until he stand 5975-2 before 6440 the congregation 5712 in judgment. 4941

35:13 And of these cities 5892 which ye shall give 5414-4 six 8337 cities 5892 shall ye have for refuge. 4733

35:14 Ye shall give 5414-4 three 7969 cities 5892 on this side 5676 Jordan, 3383 and three 7969 cities 5892 shall ye give 5414-4 in the land 776 of Canaan, 3667 [which] shall be cities 5892 of refuge. 4733

35:15 These six 8337 cities 5892 shall be a refuge, 4733 [both] for the children 1121 of Israel, 3478 and for the stranger, 1616 and for the sojourner 8453 among 8432 them: that every one that killeth 5221-56 any person 5315 unawares 7684 may flee 5127-2 thither.

35:16 And if he smite 5221-52 him with an instrument 3627 of iron, 1270 so that he die, 4191-4 he [is] a murderer: 7523-6 the murderer 7523-6 shall surely 4191-2 be put to death. 4191-93

35:17 And if he smite 5221-52 him with throwing 3027 a stone, 68 wherewith he may die, 4191-4 and he die, 4191-4 he [is] a murderer: 7523-6 the murderer 7523-6 shall surely 4191-2 be put to death. 4191-93

35:18 Or [if] he smite 5221-52 him with an hand 3027 weapon 3627 of wood, 6086 wherewith he may die, 4191-4 and he die, 4191-4 he [is] a murderer: 7523-6 the murderer 7523-6 shall surely 4191-2 be put to death. 4191-93

35:19 The revenger 1350-6 of blood 1818 himself 1931 shall slay 4191-55 the murderer: 7523-6 when he meeteth 6293-2 him, he shall slay 4191-55 him.

35:20 But if he thrust 1920-4 him of hatred, 8135 or hurl 7993-52 at him by laying of wait, 6660 that he die; 4191-4

35:21 Or in enmity 342 smite 5221-52 him with his hand, 3027 that he die: 4191-4 he that smote 5221-56 [him] shall surely 4191-2 be put to death; 4191-93 [for] he [is] a murderer: 7523-6 the revenger 1350-6 of blood 1818 shall slay 4191-55 the murderer, 7523-6 when he meeteth 6293-2 him.

35:22 But if he thrust 1920-1 him suddenly 6621 without 3808 enmity, 342 or have cast 7993-52 upon him any thing 3627 without laying of wait, 6660

35:23 Or with any stone, 68 wherewith a man may die, 4191-4 seeing 7200-2 [him] not, 3808 and cast 5307-55 [it] upon him, that he die, 4191-4 and [was] not his enemy, 341-6 neither sought 1245-18 his harm: 7451

35:24 Then the congregation 5712 shall judge 8199-1 between the slayer 5221-56 and the revenger 1350-6 of blood 1818 according to these judgments: 4941

35:25 And the congregation 5712 shall deliver 5337-52 the slayer 7523-6 out of the hand 3027 of the revenger 1350-6 of blood, 1818 and the congregation 5712 shall restore 7725-52 him to the city 5892 of his refuge, 4733 whither he was fled: 5127-1 and he shall abide 3427-1 in it unto the death 4194 of the high 1419 priest, 3548 which was anointed 4886-1 with the holy 6944 oil. 8081

35:26 But if the slayer 7523-6 shall at any time 3318-2 come without 3318-4 the border 1366 of the city 5892 of his refuge, 4733 whither he was fled; 5127-4

35:27 And the revenger 1350-6 of blood 1818 find 4672-1 him without 2351 the borders 1366 of the city 5892 of his refuge, 4733 and the revenger 1350-6 of blood 1818 kill 7523-1 the slayer; 7523-6 he shall not be guilty of blood: 1818

35:28 Because he should have remained 3427-4 in the city 5892 of his refuge 4733 until the death 4194 of the high 1419 priest: 3548 but after 310 the death 4194 of the high 1419 priest 3548 the slayer 7523-6 shall return 7725-4 into the land 776 of his possession. 272

35:29 So these [things] shall be for a statute 2708 of judgment 4941 unto you throughout your generations 1755 in all your dwellings. 4186

35:30 Whoso killeth 5221-56 any person, 5315 the murderer 7523-6 shall be put to death 7523-4 by the mouth 6310 of witnesses: 5707 but one 259 witness 5707 shall not testify 6030-4 against any person 5315 [to cause him] to die. 4191-2

35:31 Moreover ye shall take 3947-4 no satisfaction 3724 for the life 5315 of a murderer, 7523-6 which [is] guilty 7563 of death: 4191-2 but he shall be surely 4191-2 put to death. 4191-93

35:32 And ye shall take 3947-4 no satisfaction 3724 for him that is fled 5127-2 to the city 5892 of his refuge, 4733 that he should come again 7725-2 to dwell 3427-2 in the land, 776 until the death 4194 of the priest. 3548

35:33 So ye shall not pollute 2610-55 the land 776 wherein ye [are]: for blood 1818 it defileth 2610-55 the land: 776 and the land 776 cannot be cleansed 3722-29 of the blood 1818 that is shed 8210-27 therein, but by the blood 1818 of him that shed 8210-6 it.
