you must set apart for yourselves three cities in the middle of your land that the Lord your God is giving you as a possession.

you must do to him what he had intended to do to the accused. In this way you will purge evil from among you.

your elders and judges must go out and measure how far it is to the cities in the vicinity of the corpse.

The foreigners who reside among you will become higher and higher over you and you will become lower and lower.

“Because you have not served the Lord your God joyfully and wholeheartedly with the abundance of everything you have,

a nation of stern appearance that will have no regard for the elderly or pity for the young.

He will infect you with all the diseases of Egypt that you dreaded, and they will persistently afflict you.
