Speak
<01696> (8761)

unto the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and say

unto them, When ye be come over
<05674> (8802)

Jordan
<03383>

into the land
<0776>

of Canaan
<03667>_;

35:11

Then ye shall appoint
<07136> (8689)

you cities
<05892>

to be cities
<05892>

of refuge
<04733>

for you; that the slayer
<07523> (8802)

may flee
<05127> (8804)

thither, which killeth
<05221> (8688)

any person
<05315>

at unawares
<07684>_.

{at...: Heb. by error}

35:12

And they shall be unto you cities
<05892>

for refuge
<04733>

from the avenger
<01350> (8802)_;

that the manslayer
<07523> (8802)

die
<04191> (8799)

not, until he stand
<05975> (8800)

before
<06440>

the congregation
<05712>

in judgment
<04941>_.

35:13

And of these cities
<05892>

which ye shall give
<05414> (8799)

six
<08337>

cities
<05892>

shall ye have for refuge
<04733>_.

35:14

Ye shall give
<05414> (8799)

three
<07969>

cities
<05892>

on this side
<05676>

Jordan
<03383>_,

and three
<07969>

cities
<05892>

shall ye give
<05414> (8799)

in the land
<0776>

of Canaan
<03667>_,

[which] shall be cities
<05892>

of refuge
<04733>_.

35:15

These six
<08337>

cities
<05892>

shall be a refuge
<04733>_,

[both] for the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and for the stranger
<01616>_,

and for the sojourner
<08453>

among
<08432>

them: that every one that killeth
<05221> (8688)

any person
<05315>

unawares
<07684>

may flee
<05127> (8800)

thither.

35:16

And if he smite
<05221> (8689)

him with an instrument
<03627>

of iron
<01270>_,

so that he die
<04191> (8799)_,

he [is] a murderer
<07523> (8802)_:

the murderer
<07523> (8802)

shall surely
<04191> (8800)

be put to death
<04191> (8714)_.

35:17

And if he smite
<05221> (8689)

him with throwing
<03027>

a stone
<068>_,

wherewith he may die
<04191> (8799)_,

and he die
<04191> (8799)_,

he [is] a murderer
<07523> (8802)_:

the murderer
<07523> (8802)

shall surely
<04191> (8800)

be put to death
<04191> (8714)_.

{with...: Heb. with a stone of the hand}

35:18

Or [if] he smite
<05221> (8689)

him with an hand
<03027>

weapon
<03627>

of wood
<06086>_,

wherewith he may die
<04191> (8799)_,

and he die
<04191> (8799)_,

he [is] a murderer
<07523> (8802)_:

the murderer
<07523> (8802)

shall surely
<04191> (8800)

be put to death
<04191> (8714)_.

35:19

The revenger
<01350> (8802)

of blood
<01818>

himself shall slay
<04191> (8686)

the murderer
<07523> (8802)_:

when he meeteth
<06293> (8800)

him, he
<01931>

shall slay
<04191> (8686)

him.

35:20

But if he thrust
<01920> (8799)

him of hatred
<08135>_,

or hurl
<07993> (8689)

at him by laying of wait
<06660>_,

that he die
<04191> (8799)_;

35:21

Or in enmity
<0342>

smite
<05221> (8689)

him with his hand
<03027>_,

that he die
<04191> (8799)_:

he that smote
<05221> (8688)

[him] shall surely
<04191> (8800)

be put to death
<04191> (8714)_;

[for] he [is] a murderer
<07523> (8802)_:

the revenger
<01350> (8802)

of blood
<01818>

shall slay
<04191> (8686)

the murderer
<07523> (8802)_,

when he meeteth
<06293> (8800)

him.

35:22

But if he thrust
<01920> (8804)

him suddenly
<06621>

without
<03808>

enmity
<0342>_,

or have cast
<07993> (8689)

upon him any thing
<03627>

without laying of wait
<06660>_,

35:23

Or with any stone
<068>_,

wherewith a man may die
<04191> (8799)_,

seeing
<07200> (8800)

[him] not
<03808>_,

and cast
<05307> (8686)

[it] upon him, that he die
<04191> (8799)_,

and [was] not his enemy
<0341> (8802)_,

neither sought
<01245> (8764)

his harm
<07451>_:

35:24

Then the congregation
<05712>

shall judge
<08199> (8804)

between the slayer
<05221> (8688)

and the revenger
<01350> (8802)

of blood
<01818>

according to these judgments
<04941>_:

35:25

And the congregation
<05712>

shall deliver
<05337> (8689)

the slayer
<07523> (8802)

out of the hand
<03027>

of the revenger
<01350> (8802)

of blood
<01818>_,

and the congregation
<05712>

shall restore
<07725> (8689)

him to the city
<05892>

of his refuge
<04733>_,

whither he was fled
<05127> (8804)_:

and he shall abide
<03427> (8804)

in it unto the death
<04194>

of the high
<01419>

priest
<03548>_,

which was anointed
<04886> (8804)

with the holy
<06944>

oil
<08081>_.

35:26

But if the slayer
<07523> (8802)

shall at any time
<03318> (8800)

come
<03318> (8799)

without the border
<01366>

of the city
<05892>

of his refuge
<04733>_,

whither he was fled
<05127> (8799)_;

35:27

And the revenger
<01350> (8802)

of blood
<01818>

find
<04672> (8804)

him without
<02351>

the borders
<01366>

of the city
<05892>

of his refuge
<04733>_,

and the revenger
<01350> (8802)

of blood
<01818>

kill
<07523> (8804)

the slayer
<07523> (8802)_;

he shall not be guilty of blood
<01818>_:

{he...: Heb. no blood shall be to him}

35:28

Because he should have remained
<03427> (8799)

in the city
<05892>

of his refuge
<04733>

until the death
<04194>

of the high
<01419>

priest
<03548>_:

but after
<0310>

the death
<04194>

of the high
<01419>

priest
<03548>

the slayer
<07523> (8802)

shall return
<07725> (8799)

into the land
<0776>

of his possession
<0272>_.

35:29

So these [things] shall be for a statute
<02708>

of judgment
<04941>

unto you throughout your generations
<01755>

in all your dwellings
<04186>_.
