Deuteronomy 19:2-9
2thou shalt setH5414 apartH914 threeH7969 citiesH5892 for thee in the midstH8432 of thy landH776, which Jehovah thy GodH430 giveth thee to possessH3423 it. 3Thou shalt prepareH3559 thee the wayH1870, and divideH5157 the bordersH1366 of thy landH776, which Jehovah thy GodH430 causeth thee to inheritH5157, into threeH8027 parts, that every manslayer may fleeH5127 thither.
4And this is the case of the manslayer, that shall fleeH5127 thither and live: whoso killeth his neighborH7453 unawares, and hatedH8130 him not in time past; 5as whenH834 a man goeth into the forestH3293 with his neighborH7453 to hew woodH6086, and his handH3027 fetcheth a stroke with the axeH1631 to cutH3772 down the treeH6086, and the head slippeth from the helve, and lighteth upon his neighborH7453, so that he dieth; he shall fleeH5127 unto oneH259 of these citiesH5892 and live: 6lestH6435 the avengerH1350 of bloodH1818 pursueH7291 the manslayer, while his heartH3824 is hot, and overtakeH5381 him, because the wayH1870 is long, and smite him mortally; whereas he was not worthy of deathH4194, inasmuch as he hatedH8130 him not in time past. 7Wherefore I commandH6680 thee, sayingH559, Thou shalt setH914 apartH914 threeH7969 citiesH5892 for thee. 8And if Jehovah thy GodH430 enlargeH7337 thy borderH1366, as he hath swornH7650 unto thy fathersH1, and giveH5414 thee all the landH776 which he promised to giveH5414 unto thy fathersH1; 9if thou shalt keepH8104 all this commandmentH4687 to do it, which I commandH6680 thee this dayH3117, to loveH157 Jehovah thy GodH430, and to walk ever in his waysH1870; then shalt thou addH3254 threeH7969 citiesH5892 more for thee, besides these threeH7969:
