Deuteronomy 19:2-9

2thou shalt separateH914 threeH7969 citiesH5892 for thyself in the midstH8432 of thy landH776, which Jehovah thy 1GodH430 giveth thee to possessH3423.

3Thou shalt prepareH3559 thee the wayH1870, and divideH5157 the territoryH1366 of thy landH776, which Jehovah thy 2GodH430 giveth thee to inheritH5157, into threeH8027 parts, so that every slayer may fleeH5127 thither.

4And this is the case of the slayer who shall fleeH5127 thither that he may live: he that smiteth his neighbour unwittingly, whom he hatedH8130 not previously;

5as whenH834 he goeth into the woodH6086 with his neighbour to hew woodH6086, and his handH3027 fetcheth a stroke with the axeH1631 to cutH3772 down the treeH6086, and the ironH1270 slippeth from the handle, and lighteth upon his neighbour, that he dieH4191; such an oneH259 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, since he hatedH8130 him not previously.

7ThereforeH3651 I commandH6680 thee, sayingH559, Thou shalt separateH914 threeH7969 citiesH5892 for thyself.

8And if Jehovah thy 3GodH430 enlargeH7337 thy borderH1366, as he hath swornH7650 unto thy fathersH1, and giveH5414 thee all the landH776 which he promised to giveH5414 unto thy fathersH1

9(if thou keepH8104 all this commandmentH4687 to do it, which I commandH6680 thee this dayH3117, to loveH157 Jehovah thy 4GodH430, and to walk in his waysH1870 continually), then shalt thou addH3254 threeH7969 citiesH5892 more for thyself to these threeH7969,
