And to Moses upon of Moab, by the Jordan, across from Jericho, saying,
Give orders to the sons of Israel! and they shall give to the Levites from the lots of their possession cities to dwell in; and the outskirts of the cities round about them you shall give to the Levites.
And shall be to dwell in. And their separation offerings of lands will be for their cattle and all their four-footed animals.
And the lands falling in with the cities, which you shall give to the Levites, of the city and outside a thousand cubits round about.
And you shall measure outside the city the side the one towards two thousand cubits; and the side the one towards two thousand cubits; and the side the one towards two thousand cubits; and the side the one towards two thousand cubits; and the city between this will be for you, and the adjoining areas of the cities.
And the cities which you shall give to the Levites six cities of the places of refuge, which you shall give to flee and in addition to these, forty two cities.
All the cities which you shall give to the Levites and eight cities, these and their outskirts.
And the cities which you shall give from the possession of the sons of Israel, from the ones having many and from the ones having less each according to his inheritance which they shall allot, they shall give from the cities to the Levites.
Speak to the sons of Israel! and you shall say to them, You are passing over the Jordan into of Canaan.
And you shall draw apart to you for them cities for them; places of refuge to you to flee any one striking a soul unintentionally.
And they will be cities for you as places of refuge from the one acting as next of kin for blood, that in no way should die until whenever he should stand before the congregation for judgment.
And the cities which you shall appoint the six cities places of refuge for you.
Three cities you shall appoint on the other side of the Jordan, and three cities you shall appoint in of Canaan.
A place of refuge they will be to the sons of Israel. And to the foreigner and to the sojourner among you will be for a place of refuge to flee there to all striking a soul unintentionally.
And if by an item of iron one should strike him, and he should come to an end unto death let be put to death
And if by a stone from in which one should die by it, him, even he should die, he is a murderer unto death let be put to death
And if by an item of wood from of which one should die, as he should strike him, and one should die, he is a murderer unto death shall die
The one acting as next of kin for blood, this one shall kill the one man-slaying; whenever he meets him, this one shall kill him.
And if through hatred he should thrust him through or should cast upon him any item by ambush, and he should die,
or through vehement anger he strikes him by the hand, and he should die to death let be put to death he is a murderer! The one acting as next of kin for blood shall kill the one man-slaying in the meeting up with him.
But if suddenly, not or cast upon him any item, not from ambush,
or any stone in which he shall die by it, not knowing, and he should fall upon him, and he should die, but he not nor seeking to do evil against him;
then shall judge between the one striking and between the one acting as next of kin for blood, according to these cases.
And shall rescue the one man-slaying from the one acting as next of kin for blood; and shall restore into the city of his place of refuge, of which he took refuge; and he shall dwell there until whenever should die whom they anointed him oil
But if by an exit should come forth from the borders of the city in which he took refuge there,
and should find outside the borders of the city of his refuge, and should slaughter the one man-slaying, not
For in the city of his refuge let him dwell until should die And after the dying of the priest will be able to return unto the land of his possession.
And these things will be to you for an ordinance of judgment unto your generations in all your dwellings.
Every one striking a soul, with witnesses, you shall slaughter the one man-slaying; and witness shall not witness for a soul to die.
And you shall not take ransoms for a soul from the one murdering the liable for unto death he shall be put to death.
And you shall not take ransoms for the one fleeing into a city of the places of refuge, to again dwell in the land, until whenever should die
And in no way should you pollute with murder the land upon which you dwell upon it; for this blood pollutes by murder and shall not from the blood having been poured out upon it, but the blood of the one pouring it out.
And you shall not defile the land upon which you dwell upon it, of which I should encamp among you. For I am encamping in of the sons of Israel.
