ylt @Numbers:35:1 @And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses , in the plains of Moab , by Jordan , [near ] Jericho , saying , ylt @Numbers:35:2 @'Command the sons of Israel , and they have given to the Levites of the inheritance of their possession cities to inhabit ; also a suburb for the cities round about them ye do give to the Levites . ylt @Numbers:35:3 @And the cities have been to them to inhabit , and their suburbs are for their cattle , and for their goods , and for all their beasts . ylt @Numbers:35:4 @'And the suburbs of the cities which ye give to the Levites [are ], from the wall of the city and without , a thousand cubits round about . ylt @Numbers:35:5 @And ye have measured from the outside of the city , the east quarter , two thousand by the cubit , and the south quarter , two thousand by the cubit , and the west quarter , two thousand by the cubit , and the north quarter , two thousand by the cubit ; and the city [is ] in the midst ; this is to them the suburbs of the cities . ylt @Numbers:35:6 @'And the cities which ye give to the Levites [are ] the six cities of refuge , which ye give for the fleeing thither of the man-slayer , and besides them ye give forty and two cities ; ylt @Numbers:35:7 @all the cities which ye give to the Levites [are ] forty and eight cities , them and their suburbs . ylt @Numbers:35:8 @And the cities which ye give [are ] of the possession of the sons of Israel , from the many ye multiply , and from the few ye diminish ; each , according to his inheritance which they inherit , doth give of his cities to the Levites .' ylt @Numbers:35:9 @And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses , saying , ylt @Numbers:35:10 @'Speak unto the sons of Israel , and thou hast said unto them , When ye are passing over the Jordan to the land of Canaan , ylt @Numbers:35:11 @and have prepared to yourselves cities -- cities of refuge they are to you -- then fled thither hath a man-slayer , smiting a person unawares , ylt @Numbers:35:12 @and the cities have been to you for a refuge from the redeemer , and the man-slayer doth not die till his standing before the company for judgment . ylt @Numbers:35:13 @'As to the cities which ye give -- six [are ] cities of refuge to you ; ylt @Numbers:35:14 @the three of the cities ye give beyond the Jordan , and the three of the cities ye give in the land of Canaan ; cities of refuge they are . ylt @Numbers:35:15 @To sons of Israel , and to a sojourner , and to a settler in their midst , are these six cities for a refuge , for the fleeing thither of any one smiting a person unawares . ylt @Numbers:35:16 @'And if with an instrument of iron he hath smitten him , and he dieth , he [is ] a murderer : the murderer is certainly put to death . ylt @Numbers:35:17 @'And if with a stone [in ] the hand , wherewith he dieth , he hath smitten him , and he dieth , he [is ] a murderer : the murderer is certainly put to death . ylt @Numbers:35:18 @'Or with a wooden instrument [in ] the hand , wherewith he dieth , he hath smitten him , and he dieth , he [is ] a murderer : the murderer is certainly put to death . ylt @Numbers:35:19 @'The redeemer of blood himself doth put the murderer to death ; in his coming against him he doth put him to death . ylt @Numbers:35:20 @'And if in hatred he thrust him through , or hath cast [anything ] at him by lying in wait , and he dieth ; ylt @Numbers:35:21 @or in enmity he hath smitten him with his hand , and he dieth ; the smiter is certainly put to death ; he [is ] a murderer ; the redeemer of blood doth put the murderer to death in his coming against him . ylt @Numbers:35:22 @'And if , in an instant , without enmity , he hath thrust him through , or hath cast at him any instrument , without lying in wait ; ylt @Numbers:35:23 @or with any stone wherewith he dieth , without seeing , and causeth [it ] to fall upon him , and he dieth , and he [is ] not his enemy , nor seeking his evil ; ylt @Numbers:35:24 @then have the company judged between the smiter and the redeemer of blood , by these judgments . ylt @Numbers:35:25 @'And the company have delivered the man-slayer out of the hand of the redeemer of blood , and the company have caused him to turn back unto the city of his refuge , whither he hath fled , and he hath dwelt in it till the death of the chief priest , who hath been anointed with the holy oil . ylt @Numbers:35:26 @'And if the man-slayer at all go out [from ] the border of the city of his refuge whither he fleeth , ylt @Numbers:35:27 @and the redeemer of blood hath found him at the outside of the border of the city of his refuge , and the redeemer of blood hath slain the man-slayer , blood is not for him ; ylt @Numbers:35:28 @for in the city of his refuge he doth dwell till the death of the chief priest ; and after the death of the chief priest doth the man-slayer turn back unto the city of his possession . ylt @Numbers:35:29 @'And these things have been to you for a statute of judgment to your generations , in all your dwellings : ylt @Numbers:35:30 @whoso smiteth a person , by the mouth of witnesses doth [one ] slay the murderer ; and one witness doth not testify against a person -- to die . ylt @Numbers:35:31 @'And ye take no atonement for the life of a murderer who [is ] condemned -- to die , for he is certainly put to death ; ylt @Numbers:35:32 @and ye take no atonement for him to flee unto the city of his refuge , to turn back to dwell in the land , until the death of the priest . ylt @Numbers:35:33 @'And ye profane not the land which ye [are ] in , for blood profaneth the land ; as to the land , it is not pardoned for blood which is shed in it except by the blood of him who sheddeth it ; ylt @Numbers:35:34 @and ye defile not the land in which ye are dwelling , in the midst of which I do tabernacle , for I Jehovah do tabernacle in the midst of the sons of Israel .'
