1 # When the LORD <03068> thy God <0430> hath cut off <03772> (8686) the nations <01471>, whose land <0776> the LORD <03068> thy God <0430> giveth <05414> (8802) thee, and thou succeedest <03423> (8804) them, and dwellest <03427> (8804) in their cities <05892>, and in their houses <01004>;
2 Thou shalt separate <0914> (8686) three <07969> cities <05892> for thee in the midst <08432> of thy land <0776>, which the LORD <03068> thy God <0430> giveth <05414> (8802) thee to possess <03423> (8800) it.
3 Thou shalt prepare <03559> (8686) thee a way <01870>, and divide the coasts <01366> of thy land <0776>, which the LORD <03068> thy God <0430> giveth thee to inherit <05157> (8686), into three parts <08027> (8765), that every slayer <07523> (8802) may flee <05127> (8800) thither.
4 And this is the case <01697> of the slayer <07523> (8802), which shall flee <05127> (8799) thither, that he may live <02425> (8804): Whoso killeth <05221> (8686) his neighbour <07453> ignorantly <01097> <01847>, whom he hated <08130> (8802) not in time <08543> past <08032>;
5 As when a man goeth <0935> (8799) into the wood <03293> with his neighbour <07453> to hew <02404> (8800) wood <06086>, and his hand <03027> fetcheth a stroke <05080> (8738) with the axe <01631> to cut down <03772> (8800) the tree <06086>, and the head <01270> slippeth <05394> (8804) from the helve <06086>, and lighteth <04672> (8804) upon his neighbour <07453>, that he die <04191> (8804); he shall flee <05127> (8799) unto one <0259> of those cities <05892>, and live <02425> (8804):
6 Lest the avenger <01350> (8802) of the blood <01818> (8676) pursue <07291> (8799) the slayer <0310> <07523> (8802), while <03588> his heart <03824> is hot <03179> (8799), and overtake <05381> (8689) him, because the way <01870> is long <07235> (8799), and slay <05221> (8689) him <05315>; whereas he was not worthy <04941> of death <04194>, inasmuch as <03588> he hated <08130> (8802) him not in time <08543> past <08032> .
7 Wherefore I command <06680> (8764) thee, saying <0559> (8800), Thou shalt separate <0914> (8686) three <07969> cities <05892> for thee.
8 And if the LORD <03068> thy God <0430> enlarge <07337> (8686) thy coast <01366>, as he hath sworn <07650> (8738) unto thy fathers <01>, and give <05414> (8804) thee all the land <0776> which he promised <01696> (8765) to give <05414> (8800) unto thy fathers <01>;
9 If thou shalt keep <08104> (8799) all these commandments <04687> to do <06213> (8800) them, which I command <06680> (8764) thee this day <03117>, to love <0157> (8800) the LORD <03068> thy God <0430>, and to walk <03212> (8800) ever <03117> in his ways <01870>; then shalt thou add <03254> (8804) three <07969> cities <05892> more for thee, beside these three <07969>:
10 That innocent <05355> blood <01818> be not shed <08210> (8735) in <07130> thy land <0776>, which the LORD <03068> thy God <0430> giveth <05414> (8802) thee for an inheritance <05159>, and so blood <01818> be upon thee.
11 But if any man <0376> hate <08130> (8802) his neighbour <07453>, and lie in wait <0693> (8804) for him, and rise up <06965> (8804) against him, and smite <05221> (8689) him mortally <05315> that he die <04191> (8804) , and fleeth <05127> (8804) into one <0259> of these <0411> cities <05892>:
12 Then the elders <02205> of his city <05892> shall send <07971> (8804) and fetch <03947> (8804) him thence, and deliver <05414> (8804) him into the hand <03027> of the avenger <01350> (8802) of blood <01818>, that he may die <04191> (8804).
13 Thine eye <05869> shall not pity <02347> (8799) him, but thou shalt put away <01197> (8765) the guilt of innocent <05355> blood <01818> from Israel <03478>, that it may go well <02895> (8804) with thee.
14 # Thou shalt not remove <05253> (8686) thy neighbour's <07453> landmark <01366>, which they of old time <07223> have set <01379> (8804) in thine inheritance <05159>, which thou shalt inherit <05157> (8799) in the land <0776> that the LORD <03068> thy God <0430> giveth <05414> (8802) thee to possess <03423> (8800) it.
15 One <0259> witness <05707> shall not rise up <06965> (8799) against a man <0376> for any iniquity <05771> , or for any sin <02403>, in any sin <02399> that he sinneth <02398> (8799): at the mouth <06310> of two <08147> witnesses <05707>, or at the mouth <06310> of three <07969> witnesses <05707>, shall the matter <01697> be established <06965> (8799).
16 If a false <02555> witness <05707> rise up <06965> (8799) against any man <0376> to testify <06030> (8800) against him that which is wrong <05627>;
17 Then both <08147> the men <0582>, between whom the controversy <07379> is, shall stand <05975> (8804) before <06440> the LORD <03068>, before <06440> the priests <03548> and the judges <08199> (8802), which shall be in those days <03117>;
18 And the judges <08199> (8802) shall make diligent <03190> (8687) inquisition <01875> (8804): and, behold, if the witness <05707> be a false <08267> witness <05707>, and hath testified <06030> (8804) falsely <08267> against his brother <0251>;
19 Then shall ye do <06213> (8804) unto him, as he had thought <02161> (8804) to have done <06213> (8800) unto his brother <0251>: so shalt thou put <01197> <00> the evil <07451> away <01197> (8765) from among <07130> you.
20 And those which remain <07604> (8737) shall hear <08085> (8799), and fear <03372> (8799), and shall henceforth <03254> (8686) commit <06213> (8800) no more any <01697> such evil <07451> among <07130> you.
21 And thine eye <05869> shall not pity <02347> (8799); but life <05315> shall go for life <05315> , eye <05869> for eye <05869>, tooth <08127> for tooth <08127>, hand <03027> for hand <03027>, foot <07272> for foot <07272>.
