Deuteronomy:19:1-14
Seeker Overlay ON
*
When the Lorde thy God shall roote out the nations ,
whose lande the Lorde thy God giueth thee ,
and thou shalt possesse them ,
and dwell in their cities ,
and in their houses ,
*
Thou shalt separate three cities for thee in the middes of thy lande which the Lorde thy God giueth thee to possesse it .
*
Thou shalt (
note :)
Make an open and ready way .(:
note )
prepare thee a way ,
and divide the coasts of thy land ,
which the LORD thy God giveth thee to inherit ,
into three parts ,
that every Who killed against his will ,
and bore no hatred in his heart .
slayer may flee thither .
*
This also is ye cause wherfore the manslaier shal flee thither ,
and liue :
who so killeth his neighbor ignorantly ,
and hated him not in time passed :
*
As when a man goeth into the wood with his neighbour to hew wood ,
and his hand fetcheth a stroke with the axe to cut down the tree ,
and the head slippeth from the helve ,
and lighteth upon his neighbour ,
that he die ;
he (
note :)
That murder not be committed on murder .(:
note )
shall flee unto one of those cities ,
and live :
*
Least the auenger of the blood followe after the manslaier ,
while his heart is chafed ,
and ouertake him ,
because the way is long ,
and slaie him ,
although he be not worthy of death ,
because he hated him not in time passed .
*
Wherefore I command thee ,
saying ,
Thou shalt appoint out three cities for thee .
*
And if the LORD thy God (
note :)
When you go over Jordan to possess the whole land of Canaan .(:
note )
enlarge thy coast ,
as he hath sworn unto thy fathers ,
and give thee all the land which he promised to give unto thy fathers ;
* (
If thou keepe all these commaundements to doe them ,
which I commaund thee this day :
to wit ,
that thou loue the Lord thy God ,
and walke in his waies for euer )
then shalt thou adde three cities moe for thee besides those three ,
*
That innocent blood be not shed in thy land ,
which the LORD thy God giveth thee [
for ]
an inheritance ,
and (
note :)
Lest you be punished for innocent blood .(:
note ) [
so ]
blood be upon thee .
*
But if a man hate his neighbour ,
and lay waite for him ,
and rise against him ,
and smite any man that he die ,
and flee vnto any of these cities ,
*
Then the (
note :)
The magistrates .(:
note )
elders of his city shall send and fetch him thence ,
and deliver him into the hand of the avenger of blood ,
that he may die .
*
Thine (
note :)
Then whoever pardons murder ,
goes against the word of God .(:
note )
eye shall not pity him ,
but thou shalt put away [
the guilt of ]
innocent blood from Israel ,
that it may go well with thee .
*
Thou shalt not remooue thy neighbours marke ,
which they of olde time haue set in thine inheritance ,
that thou shalt inherite in the lande ,
which ye Lorde thy God giueth thee to possesse it .
