20:1

The LORD
<03068>

also spake
<01696> (8762)

unto Joshua
<03091>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

20:2

Speak
<01696> (8761)

to the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Appoint out
<05414> (8798)

for you cities
<05892>

of refuge
<04733>_,

whereof I spake
<01696> (8765)

unto you by the hand
<03027>

of Moses
<04872>_:

20:3

That the slayer
<07523> (8802)

that killeth
<05221> (8688)

[any] person
<05315>

unawares
<07684>

[and] unwittingly
<01847>

may flee
<05127> (8800)

thither: and they shall be your refuge
<04733>

from the avenger
<01350> (8802)

of blood
<01818>_.

20:4

And when he that doth flee
<05127> (8804)

unto one
<0259>

of those cities
<05892>

shall stand
<05975> (8804)

at the entering
<06607>

of the gate
<08179>

of the city
<05892>_,

and shall declare
<01696> (8765)

his cause
<01697>

in the ears
<0241>

of the elders
<02205>

of that city
<05892>_,

they shall take
<0622> (8804)

him into the city
<05892>

unto them, and give
<05414> (8804)

him a place
<04725>_,

that he may dwell
<03427> (8804)

among them.

20:5

And if the avenger
<01350> (8802)

of blood
<01818>

pursue
<07291> (8799)

after
<0310>

him, then they shall not deliver
<05462> (8686)

the slayer
<07523> (8802)

up into his hand
<03027>_;

because he smote
<05221> (8689)

his neighbour
<07453>

unwittingly
<01097> <01847>_,

and hated
<08130> (8802)

him not beforetime
<08543> <08032>_.

20:6

And he shall dwell
<03427> (8804)

in that city
<05892>_,

until he stand
<05975> (8800)

before
<06440>

the congregation
<05712>

for judgment
<04941>_,

[and] until the death
<04194>

of the high
<01419>

priest
<03548>

that
<0834>

shall be in those days
<03117>_:

then shall the slayer
<07523> (8802)

return
<07725> (8799)_,

and come
<0935> (8804)

unto his own city
<05892>_,

and unto his own house
<01004>_,

unto the city
<05892>

from whence he fled
<05127> (8804)_.

20:7
