35:1 | And the LORD <03068> spake <01696> (8762) unto Moses <04872> in the plains <06160> of Moab <04124> by Jordan <03383> [near] Jericho <03405>, saying <0559> (8800), |
35:2 | Command <06680> (8761) the children <01121> of Israel <03478>, that they give <05414> (8804) unto the Levites <03881> of the inheritance <05159> of their possession <0272> cities <05892> to dwell in <03427> (8800); and ye shall give <05414> (8799) [also] unto the Levites <03881> suburbs <04054> for the cities <05892> round about <05439> them. |
35:3 | And the cities <05892> shall they have to dwell in <03427> (8800); and the suburbs <04054> of them shall be for their cattle <0929>, and for their goods <07399>, and for all their beasts <02416>. |
35:4 | And the suburbs <04054> of the cities <05892>, which ye shall give <05414> (8799) unto the Levites <03881>, [shall reach] from the wall <07023> of the city <05892> and outward <02351> a thousand <0505> cubits <0520> round about <05439>. |
35:5 | And ye shall measure <04058> (8804) from without <02351> the city <05892> on the east <06924> side <06285> two thousand <0505> cubits <0520>, and on the south <05045> side <06285> two thousand <0505> cubits <0520>, and on the west <03220> side <06285> two thousand <0505> cubits <0520>, and on the north <06828> side <06285> two thousand <0505> cubits <0520>; and the city <05892> [shall be] in the midst <08432>: this shall be to them the suburbs <04054> of the cities <05892>. |
35:6 | And among the cities <05892> which ye shall give <05414> (8799) unto the Levites <03881> [there shall be] six <08337> cities <05892> for refuge <04733>, which ye shall appoint <05414> (8799) for the manslayer <07523> (8802), that he may flee <05127> (8800) thither: and to them ye shall add <05414> (8799) forty <0705> and two <08147> cities <05892>. {to them...: Heb. above them ye shall give} |
35:7 | [So] all the cities <05892> which ye shall give <05414> (8799) to the Levites <03881> [shall be] forty <0705> and eight <08083> cities <05892>: them [shall ye give] with their suburbs <04054>. |
35:8 | And the cities <05892> which ye shall give <05414> (8799) [shall be] of the possession <0272> of the children <01121> of Israel <03478>: from [them that have] many <07227> ye shall give many <07235> (8686); but from [them that have] few <04592> ye shall give few <04591> (8686): every one <0376> shall give <05414> (8799) of his cities <05892> unto the Levites <03881> according <06310> to his inheritance <05159> which he inheriteth <05157> (8799). {he...: Heb. they inherit} |
35:9 | And the LORD <03068> spake <01696> (8762) unto Moses <04872>, saying <0559> (8800), |
35:10 | Speak <01696> (8761) unto the children <01121> of Israel <03478>, and say <0559> (8804) unto them, When ye be come over <05674> (8802) Jordan <03383> into the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>; |
35:11 | Then ye shall appoint <07136> (8689) you cities <05892> to be cities <05892> of refuge <04733> for you; that the slayer <07523> (8802) may flee <05127> (8804) thither, which killeth <05221> (8688) any person <05315> at unawares <07684>. {at...: Heb. by error} |
35:12 | And they shall be unto you cities <05892> for refuge <04733> from the avenger <01350> (8802); that the manslayer <07523> (8802) die <04191> (8799) not, until he stand <05975> (8800) before <06440> the congregation <05712> in judgment <04941>. |
35:13 | And of these cities <05892> which ye shall give <05414> (8799) six <08337> cities <05892> shall ye have for refuge <04733>. |
35:14 | Ye shall give <05414> (8799) three <07969> cities <05892> on this side <05676> Jordan <03383>, and three <07969> cities <05892> shall ye give <05414> (8799) in the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>, [which] shall be cities <05892> of refuge <04733>. |
35:15 | These six <08337> cities <05892> shall be a refuge <04733>, [both] for the children <01121> of Israel <03478>, and for the stranger <01616>, and for the sojourner <08453> among <08432> them: that every one that killeth <05221> (8688) any person <05315> unawares <07684> may flee <05127> (8800) thither. |
35:16 | And if he smite <05221> (8689) him with an instrument <03627> of iron <01270>, so that he die <04191> (8799), he [is] a murderer <07523> (8802): the murderer <07523> (8802) shall surely <04191> (8800) be put to death <04191> (8714). |
35:17 | And if he smite <05221> (8689) him with throwing <03027> a stone <068>, wherewith he may die <04191> (8799), and he die <04191> (8799), he [is] a murderer <07523> (8802): the murderer <07523> (8802) shall surely <04191> (8800) be put to death <04191> (8714). {with...: Heb. with a stone of the hand} |
35:18 | Or [if] he smite <05221> (8689) him with an hand <03027> weapon <03627> of wood <06086>, wherewith he may die <04191> (8799), and he die <04191> (8799), he [is] a murderer <07523> (8802): the murderer <07523> (8802) shall surely <04191> (8800) be put to death <04191> (8714). |
35:19 | The revenger <01350> (8802) of blood <01818> himself shall slay <04191> (8686) the murderer <07523> (8802): when he meeteth <06293> (8800) him, he <01931> shall slay <04191> (8686) him. |
35:20 | But if he thrust <01920> (8799) him of hatred <08135>, or hurl <07993> (8689) at him by laying of wait <06660>, that he die <04191> (8799); |
35:21 | Or in enmity <0342> smite <05221> (8689) him with his hand <03027>, that he die <04191> (8799): he that smote <05221> (8688) [him] shall surely <04191> (8800) be put to death <04191> (8714); [for] he [is] a murderer <07523> (8802): the revenger <01350> (8802) of blood <01818> shall slay <04191> (8686) the murderer <07523> (8802), when he meeteth <06293> (8800) him. |
35:22 | But if he thrust <01920> (8804) him suddenly <06621> without <03808> enmity <0342>, or have cast <07993> (8689) upon him any thing <03627> without laying of wait <06660>, |
35:23 | Or with any stone <068>, wherewith a man may die <04191> (8799), seeing <07200> (8800) [him] not <03808>, and cast <05307> (8686) [it] upon him, that he die <04191> (8799), and [was] not his enemy <0341> (8802), neither sought <01245> (8764) his harm <07451>: |
35:24 | Then the congregation <05712> shall judge <08199> (8804) between the slayer <05221> (8688) and the revenger <01350> (8802) of blood <01818> according to these judgments <04941>: |
35:25 | And the congregation <05712> shall deliver <05337> (8689) the slayer <07523> (8802) out of the hand <03027> of the revenger <01350> (8802) of blood <01818>, and the congregation <05712> shall restore <07725> (8689) him to the city <05892> of his refuge <04733>, whither he was fled <05127> (8804): and he shall abide <03427> (8804) in it unto the death <04194> of the high <01419> priest <03548>, which was anointed <04886> (8804) with the holy <06944> oil <08081>. |
35:26 | But if the slayer <07523> (8802) shall at any time <03318> (8800) come <03318> (8799) without the border <01366> of the city <05892> of his refuge <04733>, whither he was fled <05127> (8799); |
35:27 | And the revenger <01350> (8802) of blood <01818> find <04672> (8804) him without <02351> the borders <01366> of the city <05892> of his refuge <04733>, and the revenger <01350> (8802) of blood <01818> kill <07523> (8804) the slayer <07523> (8802); he shall not be guilty of blood <01818>: {he...: Heb. no blood shall be to him} |
35:28 | Because he should have remained <03427> (8799) in the city <05892> of his refuge <04733> until the death <04194> of the high <01419> priest <03548>: but after <0310> the death <04194> of the high <01419> priest <03548> the slayer <07523> (8802) shall return <07725> (8799) into the land <0776> of his possession <0272>. |
35:29 | So these [things] shall be for a statute <02708> of judgment <04941> unto you throughout your generations <01755> in all your dwellings <04186>. |
35:30 | Whoso killeth <05221> (8688) any person <05315>, the murderer <07523> (8802) shall be put to death <07523> (8799) by the mouth <06310> of witnesses <05707>: but one <0259> witness <05707> shall not testify <06030> (8799) against any person <05315> [to cause him] to die <04191> (8800). |
35:31 | Moreover ye shall take <03947> (8799) no satisfaction <03724> for the life <05315> of a murderer <07523> (8802), which [is] guilty <07563> of death <04191> (8800): but he shall be surely <04191> (8800) put to death <04191> (8714). {guilty...: Heb. faulty to die} |
35:32 | And ye shall take <03947> (8799) no satisfaction <03724> for him that is fled <05127> (8800) to the city <05892> of his refuge <04733>, that he should come again <07725> (8800) to dwell <03427> (8800) in the land <0776>, until the death <04194> of the priest <03548>. |
35:33 | So ye shall not pollute <02610> (8686) the land <0776> wherein ye [are]: for blood <01818> it defileth <02610> (8686) the land <0776>: and the land <0776> cannot be cleansed <03722> (8792) of the blood <01818> that is shed <08210> (8795) therein, but by the blood <01818> of him that shed <08210> (8802) it. {the land cannot...: Heb. there can be no expiation for the land} |
35:34 | Defile <02930> (8762) not therefore the land <0776> which ye shall inhabit <03427> (8802), wherein <08432> I dwell <07931> (8802): for I the LORD <03068> dwell <07931> (8802) among <08432> the children <01121> of Israel <03478>. |
