4“1Now thisH2088 is the caseH1697 of the manslayerH7523 whoH834 may fleeH5127 thereH8033 and liveH2421: whenH834 he 2killsH5221 his friendH7453 3unintentionallyH1847H1097, 4not hatingH8130 him previouslyH8543H8032-- 5as whenH834 a man goesH935 into the forestH3293 with his friendH7453 to cutH2404 woodH6086, and his handH3027 5swingsH5080 the axeH1631 to cutH3772 downH3772 the treeH6086, and the ironH1270 head slipsH5394 offH5394 the 6handleH6086 and 7strikesH4672 his friendH7453 so that he diesH4191--he may fleeH5127 to oneH259 of theseH428 citiesH5892 and liveH2421; 6otherwiseH6435 the avengerH1350 of bloodH1818 might pursueH7291 the manslayerH7523 8in the heatH2552 of his angerH3824, and overtakeH5381 him, becauseH3588 the wayH1870 is longH7235, and 9takeH5221 his lifeH5315, though he was not deservingH4941 of deathH4194, sinceH3588 he had not hatedH8130 him previouslyH8543H8032. 7ThereforeH5921H3651, I commandH6680 you, sayingH559, ‘You shall setH914 asideH914 threeH7969 citiesH5892 for yourself.’

8“IfH518 the LordH3068 your GodH430 10enlargesH7337 your territoryH1366, justH3152 as He has swornH7650 to your fathersH1, and givesH5414 you allH3605 the landH776 whichH834 He 11promisedH1696 to giveH5414 your fathersH1-- 9ifH3588 you 12carefullyH6213 observeH8104 allH3605 thisH2088 commandmentH4687 whichH834 I commandH6680 you todayH3117, 13to loveH157 the LordH3068 your GodH430, and to walkH1980 in His waysH1870 alwaysH3605H3117--14then you shall addH3254 threeH7969 moreH5750 citiesH5892 for yourself, besidesH5921 theseH428 threeH7969. 10So innocentH5355 bloodH1818 will not be shedH8210 in the midstH7130 of your landH776 whichH834 the LordH3068 your GodH430 givesH5414 you as an inheritanceH5159, and 15bloodguiltinessH1818 be on you.

11“But 16ifH3588 there is a manH376 who hatesH8130 his neighborH7453 and liesH693 in waitH693 for him and risesH6965 up againstH5921 him and strikesH5221 17him so that he diesH4191, and he fleesH5127 to oneH259 of theseH411 citiesH5892, 12then the eldersH2205 of his cityH5892 shall sendH7971 and takeH3947 him from thereH8033 and deliverH5414 him into the handH3027 of the avengerH1350 of bloodH1818, that he may dieH4191. 131819You shall not pityH2347 him, but 20you shall purgeH1197 the bloodH1818 of the innocentH5355 from IsraelH3478, that it may goH2895 wellH2895 with you.
