Deuteronomy 19:2-9
2then you are to set apartH914 for yourselves threeH7969 citiesH5892 withinH8432 the landH776 thatH834 the LORDH3068 your GodH430 is givingH5414 you to possessH3423. 3You are to buildH3559 roadsH1870 for yourselves1 and divide into three regionsH8027 the landH776 thatH834 the LORDH3068 your GodH430H1961 is giving you as an inheritanceH5157, so that anyH3605 manslayerH7523 can fleeH5127 to these citiesH8033.
4Now thisH2088 is the situationH1697 regarding the manslayerH7523 whoH834 fleesH5127 to one of these cities to save his lifeH2421, having killedH5221 his neighborH7453 accidentallyH1097H1847H1931, withoutH3808 intending to harmH8130 him: 5IfH834 he goesH935 into the forestH3293 withH854 his neighborH7453 to cutH2404 timberH6086 and swingsH3027H5080 his axeH1631 to chop downH3772 a treeH6086, but the blade flies offH5394H1270H4480 the handleH6086 and strikesH4672 and killsH4191 his neighborH7453, heH1931 may fleeH5127 toH413 oneH259 of theseH428 citiesH5892 to save his lifeH2421.
6OtherwiseH6435, the avengerH1350 of bloodH1818 might pursueH7291 the manslayerH7523 in a rageH3824, overtake himH5381 ifH3588 the distanceH1870 is greatH7235, and strike himH5221 deadH5315 though he did notH369 deserveH4941 to dieH4194, sinceH3588 heH1931 did notH3808 intend any harmH8130H8543H8032. 7This is whyH5921H3651 IH595 am commandingH6680H559 you to set apartH914 for yourselves threeH7969 citiesH5892.
8And ifH518 the LORDH3068 your GodH430 enlargesH7337 your territoryH1366, asH834 He sworeH7650 to your fathersH1, and givesH5414 you allH3605 the landH776 He promisedH1696H5414 themH1, 9and ifH3588 you carefully keepH8104 allH3605 theseH2063 commandmentsH4687 IH595 am giving youH6680 todayH3117, lovingH157 the LORDH3068 your GodH430 and walkingH1980 in His waysH1870 at all timesH3605H3117, then you are to addH3254 threeH7969 moreH5750 citiesH5892 toH5921 theseH428 threeH7969.
