- Deut 19:2-9 : 2 thou shalt set apart{H914} three{H7969} cities{H5892} for thee in the midst{H8432} of thy land,{H776} which Jehovah{H3068} thy God{H430} giveth{H5414} thee to possess{H3423} it. 3 Thou shalt prepare{H3559} thee the way,{H1870} and divide the borders{H1366} of thy land,{H776} which Jehovah{H3068} thy God{H430} causeth thee to inherit,{H5157} into three parts,{H8027} that every manslayer{H7523} may flee{H5127} thither. 4 And this is the case{H1697} of the manslayer,{H7523} that shall flee{H5127} thither and live:{H2425} whoso killeth{H5221} his neighbor{H7453} unawares,{H1097} and hated{H8130} him not in time{H8543} past;{H8032} 5 as when a man goeth{H935} into the forest{H3293} with his neighbor{H7453} to hew{H2404} wood,{H6086} and his hand{H3027} fetcheth a stroke{H5080} with the axe{H1631} to cut down{H3772} the tree,{H6086} and the head{H1270} slippeth{H5394} from the helve,{H6086} and lighteth{H4672} upon his neighbor,{H7453} so that he dieth;{H4191} he shall flee{H5127} unto one{H259} of these cities{H5892} and live:{H2425} 6 lest the avenger{H1350} of blood{H1818} pursue{H7291} the manslayer,{H310} while{H3588} his heart{H3824} is hot,{H3179} and overtake{H5381} him, because the way{H1870} is long,{H7235} and smite him{H5315} mortally;{H5221} whereas he was not worthy{H4941} of death,{H4194} inasmuch as{H3588} he hated{H8130} him not in time{H8543} past.{H8032} 7 Wherefore I command{H6680} thee, saying,{H559} Thou shalt set apart{H914} three{H7969} cities{H5892} for thee. 8 And if Jehovah{H3068} thy God{H430} enlarge{H7337} thy border,{H1366} as he hath sworn{H7650} unto thy fathers,{H1} and give{H5414} thee all the land{H776} which he promised{H1696} to give{H5414} unto thy fathers;{H1} 9 if thou shalt keep{H8104} all this commandment{H4687} to do{H6213} it, which I command{H6680} thee this day,{H3117} to love{H157} Jehovah{H3068} thy God,{H430} and to walk{H3212} ever{H3117} in his ways;{H1870} then shalt thou add{H3254} three{H7969} cities{H5892} more for thee, besides these three:{H7969} 10 that innocent{H5355} blood{H1818} be not shed{H8210} in{H7130} the midst of thy land,{H776} which Jehovah{H3068} thy God{H430} giveth{H5414} thee for an inheritance,{H5159} and so blood{H1818} be upon thee. 11 But if any man{H376} hate{H8130} his neighbor,{H7453} and lie in wait{H693} for him, and rise up{H6965} against him, and smite{H5221} him mortally{H5315} so that he dieth,{H4191} and he flee{H5127} into one{H259} of these{H411} cities;{H5892} 12 then the elders{H2205} of his city{H5892} shall send{H7971} and fetch{H3947} him thence, and deliver{H5414} him into the hand{H3027} of the avenger{H1350} of blood,{H1818} that he may die.{H4191} 13 Thine eye{H5869} shall not pity{H2347} him, but thou shalt put away{H1197} the innocent{H5355} blood{H1818} from Israel,{H3478} that it may go well{H2895} with thee.
