2 Command H6680 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 , that they give H5414 unto the Levites H3881 of the inheritance H5159 of their possession H272 cities H5892 GFP to dwell in H3427 ; and ye shall give H5414 also unto the Levites H3881 suburbs H4054 for the cities H5892 round about H5439 them .
3 And the cities H5892 shall they have H1961 W-VQQ3MS to dwell in H3427 ; and the suburbs H4054 of them shall be H1961 VQY3MP for their cattle H929 , and for their goods H7399 , and for all H3605 WL-CMS their beasts H2416 .
4 And the suburbs H4054 of the cities H5892 , which H834 RPRO ye shall give H5414 unto the Levites H3881 , shall reach from the wall H7023 of the city H5892 D-GFS and outward H2351 a thousand H505 W-BMS cubits H520 UFS round about H5439 .
5 And ye shall measure H4058 from without H2351 the city H5892 L-NMS on the east H6924 side H6285 two thousand H505 cubits H520 , and on the south H5045 side H6285 two thousand H505 cubits H520 , and on the west H3220 NMS side H6285 two thousand H505 cubits H520 , and on the north H6828 NFS side H6285 two thousand H505 cubits H520 ; and the city H5892 shall be in the midst H8432 : this H2088 DPRO shall be H1961 VQY3MS to them the suburbs H4054 of the cities H5892 .
6 And among H854 the cities H5892 which H834 RPRO ye shall give H5414 unto the Levites H3881 there shall be six H8337 RFS cities H5892 for refuge H4733 , which H834 RPRO ye shall appoint H5414 for the manslayer H7523 , that he may flee H5127 thither H8033 ADV-3FS : and to H5921 them ye shall add H5414 forty H705 MMP and two H8147 W-OFD cities H5892 .
7 So all H3605 NMS the cities H5892 which H834 RPRO ye shall give H5414 to the Levites H3881 shall be forty H705 MMP and eight H8083 W-MFS cities H5892 GFS : them shall ye give with H854 their suburbs H4054 .
8 And the cities H5892 which H834 RPRO ye shall give H5414 shall be of the possession H272 of the children H1121 of Israel H3478 : from them that have many H7227 ye shall give many H7235 ; but from them that have few H4592 D-AMS ye shall give few H4591 : every one H376 NMS shall give H5414 VHFA of his cities H5892 unto the Levites H3881 according to H6310 K-CMS his inheritance H5159 which H834 RPRO he inheriteth H5157 .
9 And the LORD H3068 EDS spoke H1696 W-VPY3MS unto H413 PREP Moses H4872 , saying H559 ,
10 Speak H1696 VPFC unto H413 PREP the children H1121 of Israel H3478 , and say H559 unto H413 PREP them , When H3588 CONJ ye H859 PPRO-2MS be come over H5674 Jordan H3383 D-EFS into the land H776 NFS-3FS of Canaan H3667 LMS ;
11 Then ye shall appoint H7136 you cities H5892 GFP to be H1961 cities H5892 of refuge H4733 for you ; that the slayer H7523 may flee H5127 thither H8033 ADV-3FS , which killeth H5221 any person H5315 GFS at unawares H7684 .
12 And they shall be H1961 W-VQQ3MS unto you cities H5892 for refuge H4733 from the avenger H1350 ; that the manslayer H7523 die H4191 VQY3MS not H3808 W-NPAR , until H5704 PREP he stand H5975 before H6440 L-CMP the congregation H5712 in judgment H4941 .
13 And of these cities H5892 which H834 RPRO ye shall give H5414 six H8337 RFS cities H5892 shall ye have H1961 for refuge H4733 .
14 Ye shall give H5414 three H7969 BFS cities H5892 on this side H5676 M-CMS Jordan H3383 , and three H7969 BFS cities H5892 shall ye give H5414 in the land H776 B-GFS of Canaan H3667 EMS , which shall be H1961 cities H5892 of refuge H4733 .
15 These H428 D-DPRO-3MP six H8337 RFS cities H5892 shall be H1961 a refuge H4733 , both for the children H1121 L-CMP of Israel H3478 , and for the stranger H1616 , and for the sojourner H8453 among H8432 them : that every one H3605 NMS that killeth H5221 any person H5315 GFS unawares H7684 may flee H5127 thither H8033 ADV-3FS .
16 And if H518 W-PART he smite H5221 him with an instrument H3627 of iron H1270 , so that he die H4191 , he H1931 PPRO-3MS is a murderer H7523 : the murderer H7523 shall surely be put to death H4191 VQFA .
17 And if H518 W-PART he smite H5221 him with throwing H3027 NFS a stone H68 , wherewith H834 RPRO he may die H4191 VQY3MS , and he die H4191 , he H1931 PPRO-3MS is a murderer H7523 : the murderer H7523 shall surely be put to death H4191 VQFA .
18 Or H176 CONJ if he smite H5221 him with a hand H3027 NFS weapon H3627 of wood H6086 NMS , wherewith H834 RPRO he may die H4191 VQY3MS , and he die H4191 , he H1931 PPRO-3MS is a murderer H7523 : the murderer H7523 shall surely be put to death H4191 VQFA .
19 The revenger H1350 of blood H1818 himself H1931 PPRO-3MS shall slay H4191 VHY3MS the murderer H7523 : when he meeteth H6293 him , he H1931 PPRO-3MS shall slay H4191 him .
20 But if H518 W-PART he thrust H1920 him of hatred H8135 , or H176 CONJ hurl H7993 at H5921 PREP-3MS him by laying of wait H6660 , that he die H4191 W-VQY3MS ;
21 Or H176 CONJ in enmity H342 smite H5221 him with his hand H3027 , that he die H4191 : he that smote H5221 him shall surely be put to death H4191 ; for he H1931 PPRO-3MS is a murderer H7523 : the revenger H1350 of blood H1818 shall slay H4191 the murderer H7523 , when he meeteth H6293 him .
22 But if H518 W-PART he thrust H1920 him suddenly H6621 without H3808 B-NPAR enmity H342 , or H176 CONJ have cast H7993 upon H5921 PREP-3MS him any thing H3605 NMS without H3808 B-NPAR laying of wait H6660 ,
23 Or H176 CONJ with any H3605 stone H68 GFS , wherewith H834 RPRO a man may die H4191 VQY3MS , seeing H7200 him not H3808 ADV , and cast H5307 it upon H5921 PREP-3MS him , that he die H4191 , and was not H3808 NADV his enemy H341 VQPMS , neither H3808 W-NADV sought H1245 his harm H7451 :
24 Then the congregation H5712 shall judge H8199 between H996 PREP the slayer H5221 and the revenger H1350 of blood H1818 according to H5921 PREP these H428 judgments H4941 :
25 And the congregation H5712 shall deliver H5337 the slayer H7523 out of the hand H3027 M-GFS of the revenger H1350 of blood H1818 , and the congregation H5712 shall restore H7725 him to H413 PREP the city H5892 GFS of his refuge H4733 , whither H834 RPRO he was fled H5127 : and he shall abide H3427 in it unto H5704 PREP the death H4194 of the high H1419 D-AMS priest H3548 , which H834 RPRO was anointed H4886 with the holy H6944 oil H8081 .
26 But if H518 W-PART the slayer H7523 shall at any time come without H3318 the border H1366 CMS of the city H5892 GFS of his refuge H4733 , whither H834 RPRO he was fled H5127 ;
27 And the revenger H1350 of blood H1818 find H4672 him without H2351 the borders H1366 of the city H5892 GFS of his refuge H4733 , and the revenger H1350 of blood H1818 kill H7523 the slayer H7523 ; he shall not H369 NPAR be guilty of blood H1818 NMS :
28 Because H3588 CONJ he should have remained H3427 in the city H5892 of his refuge H4733 until H5704 PREP the death H4194 of the high H1419 D-AMS priest H3548 : but after H310 the death H4194 of the high H1419 D-AMS priest H3548 the slayer H7523 shall return H7725 VQY3MS into H413 PREP the land H776 GFS of his possession H272 .
29 So these H428 PMP things shall be H1961 W-VQQ3MS for a statute H2708 of judgment H4941 NMS unto you throughout your generations H1755 in all H3605 your dwellings H4186 .
30 Whoso H3605 NMS killeth H5221 any person H5315 GFS , the murderer H7523 shall be put to death H7523 by the mouth H6310 L-CMS of witnesses H5707 : but one H259 MMS witness H5707 shall not H3808 NADV testify H6030 VQY3MS against any person H5315 GFS to cause him to die H4191 .
31 Moreover ye shall take H3947 no H3808 W-NPAR satisfaction H3724 for the life H5315 L-GFS of a murderer H7523 , which H834 RPRO is guilty H7563 AMS of death H4191 L-VQFC : but H3588 CONJ he shall be surely put to death H4191 VQFA .
32 And ye shall take H3947 no H3808 W-NPAR satisfaction H3724 for him that is fled H5127 to H413 PREP the city H5892 GFS of his refuge H4733 , that he should come again H7725 to dwell H3427 L-VQFC in the land H776 B-NFS , until H5704 PREP the death H4194 of the priest H3548 .
33 So ye shall not H3808 W-NPAR pollute H2610 the land H776 D-GFS wherein H834 RPRO ye H859 PPRO-2MS are : for H3588 CONJ blood H1818 it H1931 PPRO-3MS defileth H2610 the land H776 D-GFS : and the land H776 cannot H3808 W-NPAR be cleansed H3722 of the blood H1818 that H834 RPRO is shed H8210 therein , but H518 PART by the blood H1818 of him that shed H8210 it .
34 Defile H2930 not H3808 W-NPAR therefore the land H776 D-GFS which H834 RPRO ye H859 PPRO-2MS shall inhabit H3427 , wherein H834 RPRO I H589 PPRO-1MS dwell H7931 VQPMS : for H3588 CONJ I H589 PPRO-1MS the LORD H3068 EDS dwell H7931 VQPMS among H8432 B-NMS the children H1121 of Israel H3478 LMS .
