1And Jehovah spokeH1696 to MosesH4872 in the plainsH6160 of MoabH4124 by the JordanH3383 of JerichoH3405, sayingH559,

2CommandH6680 the children of IsraelH3478, that of the inheritanceH5159 of their possessionH272 they giveH5414 unto the LevitesH3881 citiesH5892 to dwellH3427 in; and a suburb for the citiesH5892 roundH5439 about them shall ye giveH5414 unto the LevitesH3881.

3And the citiesH5892 shall they have to dwellH3427 in, and their suburbs shall beH1961 for their cattleH929, and for their goods, and for all their beasts.

4And the suburbs of the citiesH5892 that ye shall giveH5414 unto the LevitesH3881 shall be from the wallsH7023 of the cityH5892 outward, a thousandH505 cubitsH520 roundH5439 about.

5And ye shall measureH4058, without the cityH5892, the eastH6924 sideH6285 two thousandH505 cubitsH520, and the southH5045 sideH6285 two thousandH505 cubitsH520, and the westH3220 sideH6285 two thousandH505 cubitsH520, and the northH6828 sideH6285 two thousandH505 cubitsH520, and the cityH5892 shall beH1961 in the midstH8432: they shall have this as suburbs of the citiesH5892.

6And [among] the citiesH5892 that ye shall giveH5414 unto the LevitesH3881 [shall be] the sixH8337 citiesH5892 of refugeH4733, which ye shall appoint for the manslayer, that he may fleeH5127 thither, — and besides them ye shall giveH5414 forty-two citiesH5892:

7all the citiesH5892 that ye shall giveH5414 to the LevitesH3881 shall be forty-eight citiesH5892, they and their suburbs.

8And the citiesH5892 which ye shall giveH5414 shall be of the possessionH272 of the children of IsraelH3478: from them that have muchH7235 ye shall takeH5157 muchH7235, and from them that have littleH4592 ye shall takeH5157 littleH4592; each oneH376 according to his inheritanceH5159 which he will inheritH5157 shall giveH5414 of his citiesH5892 to the LevitesH3881.

9And Jehovah spokeH1696 to MosesH4872, sayingH559,

10SpeakH1696 unto the children of IsraelH3478, and sayH559 unto them, When ye passH5674 over the JordanH3383 into the landH776 of CanaanH3667,

11then ye shall appoint for yourselves citiesH5892: citiesH5892 of refugeH4733 shall they beH1961 for you; that a manslayer may fleeH5127 thither, who without intent smiteth a personH5315 mortally.

12And ye shall have these citiesH5892 for refugeH4733 from the avengerH1350; that the manslayer dieH4191 not, until he have stoodH5975 before the assemblyH5712 in judgmentH4941.

13And the citiesH5892 that ye shall giveH5414 shall beH1961 sixH8337 citiesH5892 of refugeH4733 for you.

14ThreeH7969 citiesH5892 shall ye giveH5414 on this sideH5676 of the JordanH3383, and threeH7969 citiesH5892 shall ye giveH5414 in the landH776 of CanaanH3667; they shall beH1961 citiesH5892 of refugeH4733.

15For the children of IsraelH3478, and for the stranger, and for the sojourner among them shall these sixH8337 citiesH5892 beH1961 a refugeH4733, that one who smiteth a personH5315 mortally without intent may fleeH5127 thither.
