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

As when H834 a man goes H935 into the wood H3293 with his neighbor H7453 to hew H2404 wood, H6086 and his hand H3027 fetches H5080 a stroke with the ax H1631 to cut H3772 down the tree, H6086 and the head H1270 slips H5394 from the helve, H6086 and lights H4672 on his neighbor, H7453 that he die; H4191 he shall flee H5127 to one H259 of those H428 cities, H5892 and live: H2425

Why H5921 H3651 I command H6680 you, saying, H559 You shall separate H914 three H7969 cities H5892 for you.

If H3588 you shall keep H8104 all H3605 these H2063 commandments H4687 to do H6213 them, which H834 I command H6680 you this day, H3117 to love H157 the LORD H3068 your God, H430 and to walk H3212 ever H3605 H3117 in his ways; H1870 then shall you add H3254 three cities H5892 more H5750 for you, beside H5921 these three: H7969

And among H854 the cities H5892 which you shall give H5414 to the Levites H3881 there shall be six H8337 cities H5892 for refuge, H4733 which H834 you shall appoint H5414 for the manslayer, H7523 that he may flee H5127 thither: H8033 and to them you shall add H5414 forty H705 and two H8147 cities. H5892

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

And they shall be to you cities H5892 for refuge H4733 from the avenger; H1350 that the manslayer H7523 die H4191 not, until H5704 he stand H5975 before H6440 the congregation H5712 in judgment. H4941

These H428 six H8337 cities H5892 shall be 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 H3605 one that kills H5221 any person H5315 unawares H7684 may flee H5127 thither. H8033

And if H518 he smite H5221 him with throwing H3027 a stone, H68 with which H834 he may die, H4191 and he die, H4191 he is a murderer: H7523 the murderer H7523 shall surely be put to death. H4191

The revenger H1350 of blood H1818 himself H1931 shall slay H4191 the murderer: H7523 when he meets H6293 him, he shall slay H4191 him.

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 for he is a murderer: H7523 the revenger H1350 of blood H1818 shall slay H4191 the murderer, H7523 when he meets H6293 him.

Or H176 with any H3605 stone, H68 with which H834 a man may die, H4191 seeing H7200 him not, and cast H5307 it on him, that he die, H4191 and was not his enemy, H341 neither H3808 sought H1245 his harm: H7451

And the congregation H5712 shall deliver H5337 the slayer H7523 out of the hand H3027 of the revenger H1350 of blood, H1818 and the congregation H5712 shall restore H7725 him to the city H5892 of his refuge, H4733 where H834 H8033 he was fled: H5127 and he shall abide H3427 in it to the death H4194 of the high H1419 priest, H3548 which H834 was anointed H4886 with the holy H6944 oil. H8081

And the revenger H1350 of blood H1818 find H4672 him without H2351 the borders H1366 of the city H5892 of his refuge, H4733 and the revenger H1350 of blood H1818 kill H7523 the slayer; H7523 he shall not be guilty of blood: H1818

That by two G1417 immutable G276 things, in which G3739 it was impossible G102 for God G2316 to lie, G5574 we might have G2192 a strong G2478 consolation, G3874 who G3588 have fled G2703 for refuge G2703 to lay hold G2902 on the hope G1680 set G4295 before G4295 us:
