Deuteronomy 19:2-13

Thou shalt separate
<0914> (8686)
three
<07969>
cities
<05892>
for thee in the midst
<08432>
of thy land
<0776>_,
which the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>
giveth
<05414> (8802)
thee to possess
<03423> (8800)
it.
Thou shalt prepare
<03559> (8686)
thee a way
<01870>_,
and divide the coasts
<01366>
of thy land
<0776>_,
which the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>
giveth thee to inherit
<05157> (8686)_,
into three parts
<08027> (8765)_,
that every slayer
<07523> (8802)
may flee
<05127> (8800)
thither.
And this [is] the case
<01697>
of the slayer
<07523> (8802)_,
which shall flee
<05127> (8799)
thither, that he may live
<02425> (8804)_:
Whoso killeth
<05221> (8686)
his neighbour
<07453>
ignorantly
<01097> <01847>_,
whom he hated
<08130> (8802)
not in time
<08543>
past
<08032>_;
{in...: Heb. from yesterday the third day}
As when a man goeth
<0935> (8799)
into the wood
<03293>
with his neighbour
<07453>
to hew
<02404> (8800)
wood
<06086>_,
and his hand
<03027>
fetcheth a stroke
<05080> (8738)
with the axe
<01631>
to cut down
<03772> (8800)
the tree
<06086>_,
and the head
<01270>
slippeth
<05394> (8804)
from the helve
<06086>_,
and lighteth
<04672> (8804)
upon his neighbour
<07453>_,
that he die
<04191> (8804)_;
he shall flee
<05127> (8799)
unto one
<0259>
of those cities
<05892>_,
and live
<02425> (8804)_:
{head: Heb. iron} {helve: Heb. wood} {lighteth...: Heb. findeth}
Lest the avenger
<01350> (8802)
of the blood
<01818> (8676)
pursue
<07291> (8799)
the slayer
<0310> <07523> (8802)_,
while
<03588>
his heart
<03824>
is hot
<03179> (8799)_,
and overtake
<05381> (8689)
him, because the way
<01870>
is long
<07235> (8799)_,
and slay
<05221> (8689)
him
<05315>_;
whereas he [was] not worthy
<04941>
of death
<04194>_,
inasmuch as
<03588>
he hated
<08130> (8802)
him not in time
<08543>
past
<08032>_.
{slay...: Heb. smite him in life} {in...: Heb. from yesterday the third day}
Wherefore I command
<06680> (8764)
thee, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Thou shalt separate
<0914> (8686)
three
<07969>
cities
<05892>
for thee.
And if the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>
enlarge
<07337> (8686)
thy coast
<01366>_,
as he hath sworn
<07650> (8738)
unto thy fathers
<01>_,
and give
<05414> (8804)
thee all the land
<0776>
which he promised
<01696> (8765)
to give
<05414> (8800)
unto thy fathers
<01>_;
If thou shalt keep
<08104> (8799)
all these commandments
<04687>
to do
<06213> (8800)
them, which I command
<06680> (8764)
thee this day
<03117>_,
to love
<0157> (8800)
the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>_,
and to walk
<03212> (8800)
ever
<03117>
in his ways
<01870>_;
then shalt thou add
<03254> (8804)
three
<07969>
cities
<05892>
more for thee, beside these three
<07969>_:
That innocent
<05355>
blood
<01818>
be not shed
<08210> (8735)
in
<07130>
thy land
<0776>_,
which the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>
giveth
<05414> (8802)
thee [for] an inheritance
<05159>_,
and [so] blood
<01818>
be upon thee.
But if any man
<0376>
hate
<08130> (8802)
his neighbour
<07453>_,
and lie in wait
<0693> (8804)
for him, and rise up
<06965> (8804)
against him, and smite
<05221> (8689)
him mortally
<05315>
that he die
<04191> (8804)_,
and fleeth
<05127> (8804)
into one
<0259>
of these
<0411>
cities
<05892>_:
{mortally: Heb. in life}
Then the elders
<02205>
of his city
<05892>
shall send
<07971> (8804)
and fetch
<03947> (8804)
him thence, and deliver
<05414> (8804)
him into the hand
<03027>
of the avenger
<01350> (8802)
of blood
<01818>_,
that he may die
<04191> (8804)_.
Thine eye
<05869>
shall not pity
<02347> (8799)
him, but thou shalt put away
<01197> (8765)
[the guilt of] innocent
<05355>
blood
<01818>
from Israel
<03478>_,
that it may go well
<02895> (8804)
with thee.
