9Then the LordH3068 spokeH1696 to MosesH4872, sayingH559, 10“1SpeakH1696 to the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 and sayH559 to them, ‘WhenH3588 you crossH5674 the JordanH3383 into the landH776 of CanaanH3667, 112then you shall selectH7136 for yourselves citiesH5892 to be your 3citiesH5892 of refugeH4733, so that the one who commitsH7523 manslaughterH7523 by 4killingH5221 a personH5315 5unintentionallyH7684 may fleeH5127 thereH8033. 126The citiesH5892 shall 7serve you as a refugeH4733 from the avengerH1350, so that the one who commitsH7523 manslaughterH7523 does not dieH4191 untilH5704 he standsH5975 beforeH6440 the congregationH5712 for 8trialH4941. 13So the citiesH5892 whichH834 you are to provideH5414 shall be sixH8337 citiesH5892 of refugeH4733 for you. 14You 9shall provideH5414 threeH7969 citiesH5892 acrossH4480H5676 the JordanH3383, and threeH7969 citiesH5892 10in the landH776 of CanaanH3667; they are to be citiesH5892 of refugeH4733. 15TheseH428 sixH8337 citiesH5892 shall be a refugeH4733 for the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, for the strangerH1616, and for the foreignH8453 residentH8453 amongH8432 them; so that anyoneH3605 who 11killsH5221 a personH5315 12unintentionallyH7684 may fleeH5127 thereH8033.

16‘13But ifH518 he struckH5221 him with an ironH1270 objectH3627, so that he diedH4191, he is a murdererH7523; the murdererH7523 mustH4191 be putH4191 toH4191 deathH4191. 17And ifH518 he struckH5221 him with a stoneH68 in the handH3027, by whichH834 he would dieH4191, and as a result he did dieH4191, he is a murdererH7523; the murdererH7523 14mustH4191 be putH4191 toH4191 deathH4191. 18OrH176 if he struckH5221 him with a woodenH6086 objectH3627 in the handH3027, by whichH834 he would dieH4191, and as a result he did dieH4191, he is a murdererH7523; the murdererH7523 mustH4191 be putH4191 toH4191 deathH4191. 19The bloodH1818 avengerH1350 himselfH1931 shall putH4191 the murdererH7523 toH4191 deathH4191; he himself shall putH4191 him toH4191 deathH4191 when he meetsH6293 him. 20Now 15ifH518 he pushedH1920 him in hatredH8135, orH176 he threwH7993 something at him 1617with maliciousH6660 intentH6660, and as a result he diedH4191, 21orH176 if he struckH5221 him with his handH3027 with hostilityH342, and as a result he diedH4191, the one who struckH5221 him mustH4191 be putH4191 toH4191 deathH4191; he is a murdererH7523. The bloodH1818 avengerH1350 shall putH4191 the murdererH7523 toH4191 deathH4191 when he meetsH6293 him.

22‘18But ifH518 he pushedH1920 him suddenlyH6621, withoutH3808 hostilityH342, orH176 threwH7993 anyH3605 objectH3627 at him withoutH3808 19maliciousH6660 intentH6660, 23orH176 had anyH3605 20deadlyH834H4191 stoneH68, and withoutH3808 lookingH7200 he droppedH5307 it on him so that he diedH4191, while he was not his enemyH340 norH3808 was he seekingH1245 21to harmH7463 him, 24then 22the congregationH5712 shall judgeH8199 betweenH996 the one who fatallyH5221 struckH5221 the victim and the bloodH1818 avengerH1350 inH5921 accordanceH5921 withH5921 theseH428 ordinancesH4941. 25And the congregationH5712 shall saveH5337 the one who committedH7523 manslaughterH7523 from the handH3027 of the bloodH1818 avengerH1350, and the congregationH5712 shall returnH7725 him to his cityH5892 of refugeH4733 to whichH834 he fledH5127; and he shall liveH3427 in it untilH5704 the deathH4194 of the highH1419 priestH3548 whoH834 was anointedH4886 with the holyH6944 oilH8081. 26But ifH518 atH3318 anyH3318 timeH3318 23he goesH3318 beyondH3318 the borderH1366 of his cityH5892 of refugeH4733 to whichH834 he fleesH5127, 27and the bloodH1818 avengerH1350 findsH4672 him outsideH4480H2351 the borderH1366 of his cityH5892 of refugeH4733, and the bloodH1818 avengerH1350 killsH7523 24him, he 25will not be guilty of bloodshedH1818, 28becauseH3588 he should have remainedH3427 in his cityH5892 of refugeH4733 untilH5704 the deathH4194 of the highH1419 priestH3548. But afterH310 the deathH4194 of the highH1419 priestH3548 the one who committedH7523 manslaughterH7523 may returnH7725 to the landH776 of his propertyH272.
