*
Then ye shall appoint you cities to be cities of refuge for you ;
that the slayer may flee thither ,
which killeth any person at unawares .
*
And they shall be unto you cities for refuge from the avenger ;
that the manslayer die not ,
until he stand before the congregation in judgment .
*
And of these cities which ye shall give six cities shall ye have for refuge .
*
Ye shall give three cities on this side Jordan ,
and three cities shall ye give in the land of Canaan K @
na #

which shall be cities of refuge .
*
These six cities shall be a refuge ,
both for the children of Israel Yisra #
el #,
and for the stranger ,
and for the sojourner among them :
that every one that killeth any person unawares may flee thither .
*
And if he smite him with an instrument of iron ,
so that he die ,
he is a murderer :
the murderer shall surely be put to death .
*
And if he smite him with throwing a stone ,
wherewith he may die ,
and he die ,
he is a murderer :
the murderer shall surely be put to death .
*
Or if he smite him with an hand weapon of wood ,
wherewith he may die ,
and he die ,
he is a murderer :
the murderer shall surely be put to death .
*
The revenger of blood himself shall slay the murderer :
when he meeteth him ,
he shall slay him .
*
But if he thrust H him of hatred sin #
ah #,
or hurl at him by laying of wait ,
that he die ;
*
Or in enmity smite him with his hand ,
that he die :
he that smote him shall surely be put to death ;
for he is a murderer :
the revenger of blood shall slay the murderer ,
when he meeteth him .
*
But if he thrust H him suddenly without enmity ,
or have cast upon him any thing without laying of wait ,
