Deuteronomy 19:1-15

19:1

When the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

hath cut off
<03772> (8686)

the nations
<01471>_,

whose land
<0776>

the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

giveth
<05414> (8802)

thee, and thou succeedest
<03423> (8804)

them, and dwellest
<03427> (8804)

in their cities
<05892>_,

and in their houses
<01004>_;

{succeedest: Heb. inheritest, or, possessest}

19:2

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.

19:3

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.

19:4

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}

19:5

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}

19:6

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}

19:7

Wherefore I command
<06680> (8764)

thee, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Thou shalt separate
<0914> (8686)

three
<07969>

cities
<05892>

for thee.

19:8

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>_;

19:9

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>_:

19:10

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.

19:11

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}

19:12

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)_.

19:13

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.

19:14

Thou shalt not remove
<05253> (8686)

thy neighbour's
<07453>

landmark
<01366>_,

which they of old time
<07223>

have set
<01379> (8804)

in thine inheritance
<05159>_,

which thou shalt inherit
<05157> (8799)

in the land
<0776>

that the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

giveth
<05414> (8802)

thee to possess
<03423> (8800)

it.

19:15

One
<0259>

witness
<05707>

shall not rise up
<06965> (8799)

against a man
<0376>

for any iniquity
<05771>_,

or for any sin
<02403>_,

in any sin
<02399>

that he sinneth
<02398> (8799)_:

at the mouth
<06310>

of two
<08147>

witnesses
<05707>_,

or at the mouth
<06310>

of three
<07969>

witnesses
<05707>_,

shall the matter
<01697>

be established
<06965> (8799)_.
