Numbers 35:9-32
9And the LORDH3068 spokeH1696 to MosesH4872, sayingH559, 10SpeakH1696 to the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and sayH559 to them, When ye have passed overH5674 JordanH3383 into the landH776 of CanaanH3667; 11Then ye shall appointH7136 for you citiesH5892 to be citiesH5892 of refugeH4733 for you; that the slayerH7523 may fleeH5127 there, who killethH5221 any personH5315 unintentionallyH7684.1 12And they shall be to you citiesH5892 for refugeH4733 from the avengerH1350; that the manslayerH7523 may not dieH4191, until he standH5975 beforeH6440 the congregationH5712 in judgmentH4941. 13And of these citiesH5892 which ye shall giveH5414 sixH8337 citiesH5892 shall ye have for refugeH4733. 14Ye shall giveH5414 threeH7969 citiesH5892 on this sideH5676 of JordanH3383, and threeH7969 citiesH5892 shall ye giveH5414 in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, which shall be citiesH5892 of refugeH4733. 15These sixH8337 citiesH5892 shall be a refugeH4733, both for the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and for the strangerH1616, and for the sojournerH8453 amongH8432 them: that every one that killethH5221 any personH5315 unintentionallyH7684 may fleeH5127 there. 16And if he shall smiteH5221 him with an instrumentH3627 of ironH1270, so that he shall dieH4191, he is a murdererH7523: the murdererH7523 shall surelyH4191 be put to deathH4191. 17And if he shall smiteH5221 him by throwingH3027 a stoneH68, by which he may dieH4191, and he shall dieH4191, he is a murdererH7523: the murdererH7523 shall surelyH4191 be put to deathH4191.2 18Or if he shall smiteH5221 him with an handH3027 weaponH3627 of woodH6086, by which he may dieH4191, and he shall dieH4191, he is a murdererH7523: the murdererH7523 shall surelyH4191 be put to deathH4191. 19The avengerH1350 of bloodH1818 himself shall slayH4191 the murdererH7523: when he meetethH6293 him, heH1931 shall slayH4191 him. 20But if he shall thrustH1920 him of hatredH8135, or hurlH7993 at him by laying in waitH6660, that he dieH4191; 21Or in enmityH342 shall smiteH5221 him with his handH3027, that he dieH4191: he that smoteH5221 him shall surelyH4191 be put to deathH4191; for he is a murdererH7523: the avengerH1350 of bloodH1818 shall slayH4191 the murdererH7523, when he meetethH6293 him. 22But if he shall thrustH1920 him suddenlyH6621 withoutH3808 enmityH342, or shall have castH7993 upon him any thingH3627 without laying in waitH6660, 23Or with any stoneH68, by which a man may dieH4191, seeingH7200 him notH3808, and shall castH5307 it upon him, that he dieH4191, and was not his enemyH341, neither soughtH1245 his harmH7451: 24Then the congregationH5712 shall judgeH8199 between the slayerH5221 and the avengerH1350 of bloodH1818 according to these judgmentsH4941: 25And the congregationH5712 shall deliverH5337 the slayerH7523 out of the handH3027 of the avengerH1350 of bloodH1818, and the congregationH5712 shall restoreH7725 him to the cityH5892 of his refugeH4733, where he had fledH5127: and he shall abideH3427 in it to the deathH4194 of the highH1419 priestH3548, who was anointedH4886 with the holyH6944 oilH8081. 26But if the slayerH7523 shall at any timeH3318 comeH3318 outside the borderH1366 of the cityH5892 of his refugeH4733, where he had fledH5127; 27And the avengerH1350 of bloodH1818 findH4672 him outsideH2351 the bordersH1366 of the cityH5892 of his refugeH4733, and the avengerH1350 of bloodH1818 shall killH7523 the slayerH7523; he shall not be guilty of bloodH1818:3 28Because he should have remainedH3427 in the cityH5892 of his refugeH4733 until the deathH4194 of the highH1419 priestH3548: but afterH310 the deathH4194 of the highH1419 priestH3548 the slayerH7523 shall returnH7725 into the landH776 of his possessionH272. 29So these things shall be for a statuteH2708 of judgmentH4941 to you throughout your generationsH1755 in all your dwellingsH4186. 30Whoever killethH5221 any personH5315, the murdererH7523 shall be put to deathH7523 by the mouthH6310 of witnessesH5707: but oneH259 witnessH5707 shall not testifyH6030 against any personH5315 to cause him to dieH4191. 31Moreover ye shall takeH3947 no satisfactionH3724 for the lifeH5315 of a murdererH7523, who is guiltyH7563 of deathH4191: but he shall be surelyH4191 put to deathH4191.4 32And ye shall takeH3947 no satisfactionH3724 for him that hath fledH5127 to the cityH5892 of his refugeH4733, that he should come againH7725 to dwellH3427 in the landH776, until the deathH4194 of the priestH3548.
