|
1. And the LORD H3068 spoke H1696 unto H413 Moses H4872 in the plains H6160 of Moab H4124 by H5921 Jordan H3383 near Jericho H3405 , saying H559 ,
|
|
2. Command the sons of Israel that they give to the Levites cities to live in, from the land of their possessions, and you shall give to the Levites open land for the cities.
|
2. Command H6680 H853 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 , that they give H5414 unto the Levites H3881 of the inheritance H4480 H5159 of their possession H272 cities H5892 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 they shall have the cities to live in, and their open lands shall be for their livestock, and for their substance, and for all their animals.
|
3. And the cities H5892 shall they have H1961 to dwell in H3427 ; and the suburbs H4054 of them shall be H1961 for their cattle H929 , and for their goods H7399 , and for all H3605 their beasts H2416 .
|
|
4. And the open land around the cities which you shall give to the Levites shall be from the wall of the city and outward a thousand cubits all around.
|
4. And the suburbs H4054 of the cities H5892 , which H834 ye shall give H5414 unto the Levites H3881 , shall reach from the wall H4480 H7023 of the city H5892 and outward H2351 a thousand H505 cubits H520 round about H5439 .
|
|
5. And you shall measure outside the city for the east side two thousand cubits, and for the south side two thousand cubits, and on the north side two thousand cubits, and for the west side two thousand cubits; the city being in the middle. This shall be to them the open land around the cities.
|
5. And ye shall measure H4058 from without H4480 H2351 the city H5892 on H853 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 side H6285 two thousand H505 cubits H520 , and on the north H6828 side H6285 two thousand H505 cubits H520 ; and the city H5892 shall be in the midst H8432 : this H2088 shall be H1961 to them the suburbs H4054 of the cities H5892 .
|
|
6. And the cities which you shall give to the Levites shall be the six cities of refuge which you shall give for the manslayer that he may flee there; and besides them you shall give forty two cities.
|
6. And among H854 the cities H5892 which H834 ye shall give H5414 unto the Levites H3881 there shall be H853 six H8337 cities H5892 for refuge H4733 , which H834 ye shall appoint H5414 for the manslayer H7523 , that he may flee H5127 thither H8033 : and to H5921 them ye shall add H5414 forty H705 and two H8147 cities H5892 .
|
|
7. All the cities which you shall give to the Levites shall be forty eight cities, them and the open land around them.
|
7. So all H3605 the cities H5892 which H834 ye shall give H5414 to the Levites H3881 shall be forty H705 and eight H8083 cities H5892 : them shall ye give with H854 their suburbs H4054 .
|
|
8. And you shall give the cities from the possession of the sons of Israel. From the many you shall increase, and take away from the few. According to its inheritance which it inherits each tribe shall give of its cities to the Levites.
|
8. And the cities H5892 which H834 ye shall give H5414 shall be of the possession H4480 H272 of the children H1121 of Israel H3478 : from H4480 H854 them that have many H7227 ye shall give many H7235 ; but from H4480 H854 them that have few H4592 ye shall give few H4591 : every one H376 shall give H5414 of his cities H4480 H5892 unto the Levites H3881 according to H6310 his inheritance H5159 which H834 he inheriteth H5157 .
|
|
9. And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
|
9. And the LORD H3068 spoke H1696 unto H413 Moses H4872 , saying H559 ,
|
|
10. Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, When you pass over the Jordan into the land of Canaan,
|
10. Speak H1696 unto H413 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 , and say H559 unto H413 them, When H3588 ye H859 be come over H5674 H853 Jordan H3383 into the land H776 of Canaan H3667 ;
|
|
11. then you shall choose cities to be cities of refuge for you, so that the manslayer may flee there, he that kills a person through error.
|
11. Then ye shall appoint H7136 you cities H5892 to be H1961 cities H5892 of refuge H4733 for you ; that the slayer H7523 may flee H5127 thither H8033 , which killeth H5221 any person H5315 at unawares H7684 .
|
|
12. And the cities shall be to you for refuge from the kinsman avenger, that the manslayer may not die until he stands before the congregation for judgment.
|
12. And they shall be H1961 unto you cities H5892 for refuge H4733 from the avenger H4480 H1350 ; that the manslayer H7523 die H4191 not H3808 , until H5704 he stand H5975 before H6440 the congregation H5712 in judgment H4941 .
|
|
13. As to the cities which you shall give six shall be cities of refuge for you.
|
13. And of these cities H5892 which H834 ye shall give H5414 six H8337 cities H5892 shall ye have H1961 for refuge H4733 .
|
|
14. You shall give three of the cities beyond the Jordan, and you shall give three of the cities in the land of Canaan; they shall be cities of refuge.
|
14. Ye shall give H5414 H853 three H7969 cities H5892 on this side H4480 H5676 Jordan H3383 , and three H7969 cities H5892 shall ye give H5414 in the land H776 of Canaan H3667 , which shall be H1961 cities H5892 of refuge H4733 .
|
|
15. These six cities shall be for a refuge to the sons of Israel, and to an alien, and to a sojourner in their midst, that any person who kills anyone unawares may flee there.
|
15. These H428 six H8337 cities H5892 shall be H1961 a refuge H4733 , both for the children H1121 of Israel H3478 , and for the stranger H1616 , and for the sojourner H8453 among H8432 them : that every one H3605 that killeth H5221 any person H5315 unawares H7684 may flee H5127 thither H8033 .
|
|
16. And if he strikes him with an instrument of iron, and he dies, he is a murderer; dying the murderer shall die.
|
16. And if H518 he smite H5221 him with an instrument H3627 of iron H1270 , so that he die H4191 , he H1931 is a murderer H7523 : the murderer H7523 shall surely be put to death H4191 H4191 .
|
|
17. And if he strikes him with a stone in the hand, by which he dies, and he dies, he is a murderer; dying the murderer shall die.
|
17. And if H518 he smite H5221 him with throwing H3027 a stone H68 , wherewith H834 he may die H4191 , and he die H4191 , he H1931 is a murderer H7523 : the murderer H7523 shall surely be put to death H4191 H4191 .
|
|
18. And if he strikes him with a wooden instrument in the hand, by which he dies, and he dies, he is a murderer; dying the murderer shall die.
|
18. Or H176 if he smite H5221 him with a hand H3027 weapon H3627 of wood H6086 , wherewith H834 he may die H4191 , and he die H4191 , he H1931 is a murderer H7523 : the murderer H7523 shall surely be put to death H4191 H4191 .
|
|
19. The avenger of blood shall cause the murderer to die; when he meets with him, he shall cause him to die.
|
19. The revenger H1350 of blood H1818 himself H1931 shall slay H4191 H853 the murderer H7523 : when he meeteth H6293 him, he H1931 shall slay H4191 him.
|
|
20. And if he pushes him down, or has thrown at him by lying in wait, and he dies;
|
20. But if H518 he thrust H1920 him of hatred H8135 , or H176 hurl H7993 at H5921 him by laying of wait H6660 , that he die H4191 ;
|
|
21. or if he has struck him with his hand in enmity, and he dies, the striker shall certainly be put to death; he is a murderer. When the avenger of blood meets him he shall put to death the murderer.
|
21. Or H176 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 H4191 ; for he H1931 is a murderer H7523 : the revenger H1350 of blood H1818 shall slay H4191 H853 the murderer H7523 , when he meeteth H6293 him.
|
|
22. And if in an instant he pushed him without enmity, or has thrown at him anything without lying in wait;
|
22. But if H518 he thrust H1920 him suddenly H6621 without H3808 enmity H342 , or H176 have cast H7993 upon H5921 him any thing H3605 H3627 without H3808 laying of wait H6660 ,
|
|
23. or with any stone without seeing, by which he dies, and has caused it to fall on him, and he dies, and he is not an enemy to him, nor seeking his evil;
|
23. Or H176 with any H3605 stone H68 , wherewith H834 a man may die H4191 , seeing H7200 him not H3808 , and cast H5307 it upon H5921 him , that he die H4191 , and was not H3808 his enemy H341 , neither H3808 sought H1245 his harm H7451 :
|
|
24. then the congregation shall judge between the striker and the avenger of blood, by these judgments.
|
24. Then the congregation H5712 shall judge H8199 between H996 the slayer H5221 and the revenger H1350 of blood H1818 according to H5921 these H428 judgments H4941 :
|
|
25. And the congregation shall deliver the manslayer out of the avenger of blood's hand. And the congregation shall return him to the city of refuge to which he had fled, and he shall live in it until the high priest dies, he who was anointed with the holy oil.
|
25. And the congregation H5712 shall deliver H5337 H853 the slayer H7523 out of the hand H4480 H3027 of the revenger H1350 of blood H1818 , and the congregation H5712 shall restore H7725 him to H413 the city H5892 of his refuge H4733 , whither H834 H8033 he was fled H5127 : and he shall abide H3427 in it unto H5704 the death H4194 of the high H1419 priest H3548 , which H834 was anointed H4886 with the holy H6944 oil H8081 .
|
|
26. But if the manslayer at all goes out from the border of the city of his refuge, there to which he has fled,
|
26. But if H518 the slayer H7523 shall at any time come without H3318 H3318 H853 the border H1366 of the city H5892 of his refuge H4733 , whither H834 H8033 he was fled H5127 ;
|
|
27. and the avenger of blood finds him outside the border of the city of his refuge, and the avenger of blood kills the manslayer, there shall be no blood guiltiness to him,
|
27. And the revenger H1350 of blood H1818 find H4672 him without H4480 H2351 the borders H1366 of the city H5892 of his refuge H4733 , and the revenger H1350 of blood H1818 kill H7523 H853 the slayer H7523 ; he shall not H369 be guilty of blood H1818 :
|
|
28. because he should have dwelt in the city of his refuge until the death of the high priest. And after the death of the high priest the manslayer may return to the land of his possession.
|
28. Because H3588 he should have remained H3427 in the city H5892 of his refuge H4733 until H5704 the death H4194 of the high H1419 priest H3548 : but after H310 the death H4194 of the high H1419 priest H3548 the slayer H7523 shall return H7725 into H413 the land H776 of his possession H272 .
|
|
29. And these things shall be to you for a statute of judgment for your generations, in all your dwellings.
|
29. So these H428 things shall be H1961 for a statute H2708 of judgment H4941 unto you throughout your generations H1755 in all H3605 your dwellings H4186 .
|
|
30. Whoever kills any person, the murderer shall be put to death by the mouth of witnesses. And one witness shall not testify against a person, to die.
|
30. Whoso H3605 killeth H5221 any person H5315 , H853 the murderer H7523 shall be put to death H7523 by the mouth H6310 of witnesses H5707 : but one H259 witness H5707 shall not H3808 testify H6030 against any person H5315 to cause him to die H4191 .
|
|
31. And you shall take no ransom for the life of a murderer; he is punishable for death, for dying he shall die.
|
31. Moreover ye shall take H3947 no H3808 satisfaction H3724 for the life H5315 of a murderer H7523 , which H834 is guilty H7563 of death H4191 : but H3588 he shall be surely put to death H4191 H4191 .
|
|
32. And you shall take no ransom for him to flee to the city of his refuge, to return to dwell in the land, until the death of the priest.
|
32. And ye shall take H3947 no H3808 satisfaction H3724 for him that is fled H5127 to H413 the city H5892 of his refuge H4733 , that he should come again H7725 to dwell H3427 in the land H776 , until H5704 the death H4194 of the priest H3548 .
|
|
33. And you shall not pollute the land in which you are, for blood pollutes the land. And no ransom is to be taken for the land for blood which is shed in it, except for the blood of him who sheds it;
|
33. So ye shall not H3808 pollute H2610 H853 the land H776 wherein H834 ye H859 are : for H3588 blood H1818 it H1931 defileth H2610 H853 the land H776 : and the land H776 cannot H3808 be cleansed H3722 of the blood H1818 that H834 is shed H8210 therein, but H3588 H518 by the blood H1818 of him that shed H8210 it.
|
|
34. and you shall not defile the land in which you are living. I dwell in its midst, for I, Jehovah, am dwelling among the sons of Israel.
|
34. Defile H2930 not H3808 therefore H853 the land H776 which H834 ye H859 shall inhabit H3427 , wherein H834 H8432 I H589 dwell H7931 : for H3588 I H589 the LORD H3068 dwell H7931 among H8432 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 .
