to the children

saying

Appoint out
<05414> (8798)

for you cities
<05892>

of refuge
<04733>_,

whereof I spake

that killeth

at the entering

his cause
<01697>

in the ears
<0241>

of the elders
<02205>

of that city
<05892>_,

they shall take

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

<07523> (8802)

up into his hand

<05221> (8689)

his neighbour

<0834>

shall be in those days

<0935> (8804)

unto his own city
