Then you shall appoint H7136 you cities H5892 to be cities H5892 of refuge H4733 for you; that the slayer H7523 may flee H5127 thither, H8033 which kills H5221 any person H5315 at unawares. H7684

But if H518 he thrust H1920 him suddenly H6621 without H3808 enmity, or H176 have cast H7993 on him any H3605 thing H3627 without H3808 laying of wait, H6660

And this H2088 is the case H1697 of the slayer, H7523 which H834 shall flee H5127 thither, H8033 that he may live: H2425 Whoever H834 kills H5221 his neighbor H7453 ignorantly, H1097 H1847 whom he hated H8130 not in time H8543 H8032 past; H8032

Lest H6435 the avenger H1350 of the blood H1818 pursue H7291 the slayer, H7523 while H3588 his heart H3824 is hot, H3179 and overtake H5381 him, because H3588 the way H1870 is long, H7235 and slay H5221 him; whereas he was not worthy of death, H4194 inasmuch H3588 as he hated H8130 him not in time H8543 H8032 past. H8032

The good H2623 man is perished H6 out of the earth: H776 and there is none H369 upright H3477 among men: H120 they all H3605 lie in wait H693 for blood; H1818 they hunt H6679 every man H376 his brother H251 with a net. H2764

And the men H582 of David H1732 said H559 to him, Behold H2009 the day H3117 of which H834 the LORD H3068 said H559 to you, Behold, H2009 I will deliver H5414 your enemy H341 into your hand, H3027 that you may do H6213 to him as it shall seem H1961 H5869 good H3190 to you. Then David H1732 arose, H6965 and cut H3772 off the skirt H3671 of Saul's H7586 robe H4598 privately. H3909

Behold, H2009 this H2088 day H3117 your eyes H5869 have seen H7200 how H834 that the LORD H3068 had delivered H5414 you to day H3117 into my hand H3027 in the cave: H4631 and some bade H559 me kill H2026 you: but my eye spared H2347 you; and I said, H559 I will not put H7971 forth H7971 my hand H3027 against my lord; H113 for he is the LORD's H3068 anointed. H4899

And you have showed H5046 this day H3117 how that you have dealt H6213 well H2896 with me: for as much H854 H834 as when the LORD H3068 had delivered H5462 me into your hand, H3027 you killed H2026 me not.

And the king H4428 said, H559 What H4100 have I to do with you, you sons H1121 of Zeruiah? H6870 so H3588 let him curse, H7043 because H3588 the LORD H3068 has said H559 to him, Curse H7043 David. H1732 Who H4310 shall then say, H559 Why H4069 have you done H6213 so? H3651

However, he means H1819 not so, H3651 neither H3808 does his heart H3824 think H2803 so; H3651 but it is in his heart H3824 to destroy H8045 and cut H3772 off nations H1471 not a few. H4592

Then you shall appoint H7136 you cities H5892 to be cities H5892 of refuge H4733 for you; that the slayer H7523 may flee H5127 thither, H8033 which kills H5221 any person H5315 at unawares. H7684

Then H227 Moses H4872 severed H914 three H7969 cities H5892 on H5921 this side H5676 Jordan H3383 toward the sun H8121 rise; H4217

Namely, Bezer H1221 in the wilderness, H4057 in the plain H4334 country, H776 of the Reubenites; H7206 and Ramoth H7216 in Gilead, H1568 of the Gadites; H1425 and Golan H1474 in Bashan, H1316 of the Manassites. H4520

When H3588 the LORD H3068 your God H430 has cut H3772 off the nations, H1471 whose H834 land H776 the LORD H3068 your God H430 gives H5414 you, and you succeed H3423 them, and dwell H3427 in their cities, H5892 and in their houses; H1004

You shall prepare H3559 you a way, H1870 and divide the coasts H1366 of your land, H776 which H834 the LORD H3068 your God H430 gives you to inherit, H5157 into three H8027 parts, that every H3605 slayer H7523 may flee H5127 thither. H8033

Speak H1696 to the children H1121 of Israel, H3478 saying, H559 Appoint H5414 out for you cities H5892 of refuge, H4733 whereof H834 I spoke H1696 to you by the hand H3027 of Moses: H4872

And when he that does flee H5127 to one H259 of those H428 cities H5892 shall stand H5975 at the entering H6607 of the gate H8179 of the city, H5892 and shall declare H1696 his cause H1697 in the ears H241 of the elders H2205 of that city, H5892 they shall take H622 him into the city H5892 to them, and give H5414 him a place, H4725 that he may dwell H3427 among H5973 them.

And he shall dwell H3427 in that city, H5892 until H5704 he stand H5975 before H6440 the congregation H5712 for judgment, H4941 and until H5704 the death H4194 of the high H1419 priest H3548 that shall be in those H1992 days: H3117 then H227 shall the slayer H7523 return, H7725 and come H935 to his own city, H5892 and to his own house, H1004 to the city H5892 from from where H834 H8033 he fled. H5127

And on the other H5676 side H5676 Jordan H3383 by Jericho H3405 eastward, H4217 they assigned H5414 Bezer H1221 in the wilderness H4057 on the plain H4334 out of the tribe H4294 of Reuben, H7205 and Ramoth H7216 in Gilead H1568 out of the tribe H4294 of Gad, H1410 and Golan H1474 in Bashan H1316 out of the tribe H4294 of Manasseh.
