Deuteronomy 19:2-9

2Thou shalt set apartH914 threeH7969 citiesH5892 for thee in the midstH8432 of thy landH776, which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 givethH5414 thee to possessH3423 it.

3Thou shalt prepareH3559 thee a wayH1870, and divide the boundsH1366 of thy landH776, which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 giveth thee to inheritH5157, into three partsH8027, that every slayerH7523 may fleeH5127 there.

4And this is the caseH1697 of the slayerH7523, who shall fleeH5127 there, that he may liveH2425: Whoever killethH5221 his neighbourH7453 unintentionallyH1097H1847, whom he hatedH8130 not in timeH8543 pastH8032;1

5As when a man goethH935 into the forestH3293 with his neighbourH7453 to hewH2404 woodH6086, and his handH3027 maketh a strokeH5080 with the axeH1631 to cut downH3772 the treeH6086, and the headH1270 slippethH5394 from the helveH6086, and fallethH4672 upon his neighbourH7453, that he diethH4191; he shall fleeH5127 to oneH259 of these citiesH5892, and liveH2425:234

6Lest the avengerH1350 of bloodH1818 shall pursueH7291 the slayerH310H7523, whileH3588 his heartH3824 is hotH3179, and overtakeH5381 him, because the wayH1870 is longH7235, and slayH5221 himH5315; though he was not worthyH4941 of deathH4194, inasmuch asH3588 he hatedH8130 him not in timeH8543 pastH8032.56

7Therefore I commandH6680 thee, sayingH559, Thou shalt set apartH914 threeH7969 citiesH5892 for thee.

8And if the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 shall enlargeH7337 thy landH1366, as he hath swornH7650 to thy fathersH1, and giveH5414 thee all the landH776 which he promisedH1696 to giveH5414 to thy fathersH1;

9If thou shalt keepH8104 all these commandmentsH4687 to doH6213 them, which I commandH6680 thee this dayH3117, to loveH157 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, and to walkH3212 everH3117 in his waysH1870; then shalt thou addH3254 threeH7969 citiesH5892 more for thee, besides these threeH7969:
