Chapter 35

¹ And the Lord spoke these things also to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan, over against Jericho:
² Command the children of Israel that they give to the Levites out of their possessions,
³ Cities to dwell in, and their suburbs round about: that they may abide in the towns, and the suburbs may be for their cattle and beasts:
⁴ Which suburbs shall reach from the walls of the cities outward, a thousand paces on every side:
⁵ Toward the east shall be two thousand cubits: and toward the south in like manner shall be two thousand cubits: toward the sea also, which looketh to the west, shall be the same extent: and the north side shall be bounded with the like limits. And the cities shall be in the midst, and the suburbs without.
⁶ And among the cities, which you shall give to the Levites, six shall be separated for refuge to fugitives, that he who hath shed blood may flee to them: and besides these there shall be other forty-two cities,
⁷ That is, in all forty-eight with their suburbs.
⁸ And of these cities which shall be given out of the possessions of the children of Israel, from them that have more, more shall be taken: and from them that have less, fewer. Each shall give towns to the Levites according to the extent of their inheritance.
⁹ The Lord said to Moses:
¹⁰ Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: When you shall have passed over the Jordan into the land of Chanaan,
¹¹ Determine what cities shall be for the refuge of fugitives, who have shed blood against their will.
¹² And when the fugitive shall be in them, the kinsman of him that is slain may not have power to kill him, until he stand before the multitude, and his cause be judged.
¹³ And of those cities, that are separated for the refuge of fugitives,
¹⁴ Three shall be beyond the Jordan, and three in the land of Chanaan,
¹⁵ As well for the children of Israel as for strangers and sojourners, that he may flee to them, who hath shed blood against his will.
¹⁶ If any man strike with iron, and he die that was struck : he shall be guilty of murder, and he himself shall die.
¹⁷ If he throw a stone, and he that is struck die: he shall be punished in the same manner.
¹⁸ If he that is struck with wood die: he shall be revenged by the blood of him that struck him.
¹⁹ The kinsman of him that was slain, shall kill the murderer: as soon as he apprehendeth him, he shall kill him.
²⁰ If through hatred any one push a man, or fling any thing- at him with ill design:
²¹ Or being his enemy, strike; him with his hand, and he die: the striker shall be guilty of murder: the kinsman of him that was slain as soon as he findeth him, shall kill him.
²² But if by chance medley, and without hatred,
²³ And enmity, he do any of these things,
²⁴ And this be proved in the hearing of the people, and the cause be debated between him that struck, and the next of kin:
²⁵ The innocent shall be delivered from the hand of the revenger, and shall be brought back by sentence into the city, to which he had fled, and he shall abide there until the death of the high priest, that is anointed with the holy oil.
²⁶ If the murderer be found without the limits of the cities that are appointed for the banished,
²⁷ And be struck by him that is the avenger of blood: he shall not be guilty that killed him.
²⁸ For the fugitive ought to have stayed in the city until the death of the high priest: and after he is dead, then shall the manslayer return to his own country.
²⁹ These things shall be perpetual, and for an ordinance in all your dwellings.
³⁰ The murderer shall be punished by witnesses: none shall be condemned upon the evidence of one man.
³¹ 31You shall not take money of him that is guilty of blood, but he shall die forthwith.
³² The banished and fugitives before the death of the high priest may by no means return into their own cities.
³³ Defile not the land of your habitation, which is stained with the blood of the innocent: neither can it otherwise be expiated, but by his blood that hath shed the blood of another.
³⁴ And thus shall your possession he cleansed, myself abiding with you. For I am the Lord that dwell among the children of Israel.

Chapter 35

¹ And the LORD spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying,
² Command the children of Israel, that they give to the Levites of the inheritance of their possession cities to dwell in; and ye shall give also to the Levites suburbs for the cities around them.
³ And they shall have the cities to dwell in; and the suburbs of them shall be for their cattle, and for their goods, and for all their beasts.
⁴ And the suburbs of the cities which ye shall give to the Levites, shall reach from the wall of the city and outward a thousand cubits on all sides.
⁵ And ye shall measure from without the city on the east side two thousand cubits, and on the south side two thousand cubits, and on the west side two thousand cubits, and on the north side two thousand cubits; and the city shall be in the midst: this shall be to them the suburbs of the cities.
⁶ And among the cities which ye shall give to the Levites there shall be six cities for refuge, which ye shall appoint for the man-slayer, that he may flee thither: and to them ye shall add forty and two cities.
⁷ So all the cities which ye shall give to the Levites shall be forty and eight cities: them shall ye give with their suburbs.
⁸ And the cities which ye shall give shall be of the possession of the children of Israel: from them that have many ye shall give many; but from them that have few ye shall give few: every one shall give of his cities to the Levites according to his inheritance which he inheriteth.
⁹ And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
¹⁰ Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, When ye have passed over Jordan into the land of Canaan;
¹¹ Then ye shall appoint for you cities to be cities of refuge for you; that the slayer may flee thither, who killeth any person at unawares.
¹² And they shall be to you cities for refuge from the avenger; that the man-slayer may not die, until he stands before the congregation in judgment.
¹³ And of these cities which ye shall give, six cities shall ye have for refuge.
¹⁴ Ye shall give three cities on this side of Jordan, and three cities shall ye give in the land of Canaan, which shall be cities of refuge.
¹⁵ These six cities shall be a refuge, both for the children of Israel, and for the stranger, and for the sojourner among them: that every one that killeth any person unawares may flee thither.
¹⁶ And if he shall smite him with an instrument of iron, so that he shall die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
¹⁷ And if he shall smite him by throwing a stone, by which he may die, and he shall die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
¹⁸ Or if he shall smite him with a hand-weapon of wood, with which he may die, and he shall die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
¹⁹ The avenger of blood himself shall slay the murderer: when he meeteth him, he shall slay him.
²⁰ But if he shall thrust him of hatred, or hurl at him by laying in wait, that he die.
²¹ Or in enmity shall smite him with his hand, that he die: he that smote him shall surely be put to death; for he is a murderer: the avenger of blood shall slay the murderer, when he meeteth him.
²² But if he shall thrust him suddenly without enmity, or shall have cast upon him any thing without laying in wait,
²³ Or with any stone, by which a man may die, seeing him not, and shall cast it upon him, that he die, and was not his enemy, neither sought his harm:
²⁴ Then the congregation shall judge between the slayer and the avenger of blood according to these judgments:
²⁵ And the congregation shall deliver the slayer out of the hand of the avenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore him to the city of his refuge, whither he had fled: and he shall abide in it to the death of the high priest, who was anointed with the holy oil.
²⁶ But if the slayer shall at any time come without the border of the city of his refuge, whither he had fled;
²⁷ And the avenger of blood find him without the borders of the city of his refuge, and the avenger of blood shall kill the slayer; he shall not be guilty of blood:
²⁸ Because he should have remained in the city of his refuge until the death of the high priest: but after the death of the high priest the slayer shall return into the land of his possession.
²⁹ So these things shall be for a statute of judgment to you throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
³⁰ Whoever killeth any person, the murderer shall be put to death by the mouth of witnesses: but one witness shall not testify against any person to cause him to die.
³¹ Moreover, ye shall take no satisfaction for the life of a murderer, who is guilty of death: but he shall be surely put to death.
³² And ye shall take no satisfaction for him that hath fled to the city of his refuge, that he should come again to dwell in the land, until the death of the priest.
³³ So ye shall not pollute the land in which ye are: for blood it defileth the land: and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed in it, but by the blood of him that shed it.
³⁴ Defile not therefore the land which ye shall inhabit, in which I dwell: for I the LORD dwell among the children of Israel.

Chapter 35

¹ And Jehovah spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan of Jericho, saying,
² Command the children of Israel, that of the inheritance of their possession they give unto the Levites cities to dwell in; and a suburb for the cities round about them shall ye give unto the Levites.
³ And the cities shall they have to dwell in, and their suburbs shall be for their cattle, and for their goods, and for all their beasts.
⁴ And the suburbs of the cities that ye shall give unto the Levites shall be from the walls of the city outward, a thousand cubits round about.
⁵ And ye shall measure, without the city, the east side two thousand cubits, and the south side two thousand cubits, and the west side two thousand cubits, and the north side two thousand cubits, and the city shall be in the midst: they shall have this as suburbs of the cities.
⁶ And [among] the cities that ye shall give unto the Levites [shall be] the six cities of refuge, which ye shall appoint for the manslayer, that he may flee thither, -- and besides them ye shall give forty-two cities:
⁷ all the cities that ye shall give to the Levites shall be forty-eight cities, they and their suburbs.
⁸ And the cities which ye shall give shall be of the possession of the children of Israel: from them that have much ye shall take much, and from them that have little ye shall take little; each one according to his inheritance which he will inherit shall give of his cities to the Levites.
⁹ And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
¹⁰ Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye pass over the Jordan into the land of Canaan,
¹¹ then ye shall appoint for yourselves cities: cities of refuge shall they be for you; that a manslayer may flee thither, who without intent smiteth a person mortally.
¹² And ye shall have these cities for refuge from the avenger; that the manslayer die not, until he have stood before the assembly in judgment.
¹³ And the cities that ye shall give shall be six cities of refuge for you.
¹⁴ Three cities shall ye give on this side of the Jordan, and three cities shall ye give in the land of Canaan; they shall be cities of refuge.
¹⁵ For the children of Israel, and for the stranger, and for the sojourner among them shall these six cities be a refuge, that one who smiteth a person mortally without intent may flee thither.
¹⁶ And if he have smitten him with an instrument of iron, so that he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall certainly be put to death.
¹⁷ And if he have smitten him with a stone from the hand, wherewith one may die, and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall certainly be put to death.
¹⁸ Or if he have smitten him with an instrument of wood, in the hand, wherewith one may die, and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall certainly be put to death;
¹⁹ the avenger of blood, he shall put the murderer to death; when he meeteth him, he shall put him to death.
²⁰ And if he thrust at him out of hatred, or hurl at him intentionally, so that he die,
²¹ or from enmity smite him with his hand, so that he die, he that smote him shall certainly be put to death; he is a murderer: the avenger of blood shall put the murderer to death, when he meeteth him. --
²² But if he have thrust at him suddenly without enmity, or have cast upon him anything unintentionally,
²³ or [have smitten him] with any stone wherewith one may die, without seeing him, and have cast it upon him so that he die, and he was not his enemy, neither sought his harm:
²⁴ then the assembly shall judge between the smiter and the avenger of blood according to these judgments;
²⁵ and the assembly shall rescue the manslayer out of the hand of the avenger of blood, and the assembly shall restore him to the city of his refuge, whither he had fled; and he shall abide in it until the death of the high-priest, who was anointed with the holy oil.
²⁶ But if the manslayer shall in any way come outside the limits of the city of his refuge whither he hath fled,
²⁷ and the avenger of blood find him outside the limits of his city of refuge, and the avenger of blood kill the manslayer, there shall be no blood-guiltiness upon him;
²⁸ for the manslayer should have remained in the city of his refuge until the death of the high-priest; but after the death of the high-priest he may return into the land of his possession.
²⁹ And this shall be unto you a statute of right throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
³⁰ Whoever shall smite a person mortally, at the mouth of witnesses shall the murderer be put to death; but one witness shall not testify against a person to cause him to die.
³¹ And ye shall take no satisfaction for the life of a murderer, who is guilty of death, but he shall certainly be put to death.
³² And ye shall take no satisfaction for him that hath fled to the city of his refuge, that he should come again to dwell in the land, until the death of the priest.
³³ And ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye are; for blood, it polluteth the land; and there can be no atonement made for the land, for the blood that hath been shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it.
³⁴ And ye shall not defile the land that ye inhabit, in the midst whereof I dwell; for I am Jehovah who dwell in the midst of the children of Israel.

Chapter 35

¹ And the Lord said to Moses in the lowlands of Moab by Jordan at Jericho,
² Give orders to the children of Israel to give to the Levites, from the heritage which is theirs, towns for themselves, with land on the outskirts of the towns.
³ These towns are to be their living-places, with land round them for their cattle and their food and all their beasts,
⁴ Stretching from the wall of the towns a distance of a thousand cubits all round.
⁵ The measure of this space of land is to be two thousand cubits outside the town on the east, and two thousand cubits on the south and on the west and on the north, the town being in the middle. This space will be the outskirts of their towns.
⁶ And the towns which you give the Levites are to be the six safe places to which the taker of life may go in flight; and in addition you are to give them forty-two towns.
⁷ Forty-eight towns are to be given to the Levites, all with land round them.
⁸ And these towns are to be given out of the heritage of the children of Israel, taking the greater number from those who have much, and a smaller number from those who have little: everyone, in the measure of his heritage, is to give of his property to the Levites.
⁹ And the Lord said to Moses,
¹⁰ Say to the children of Israel, when you have gone over Jordan into the land of Canaan;
¹¹ Then let certain towns be marked out as safe places to which anyone who takes the life of another in error may go in flight.
¹² In these towns you may be safe from him who has the right of punishment; so that death may not overtake the taker of life till he has been judged by the meeting of the people.
¹³ Six of the towns which you give will be such safe places;
¹⁴ Three on the other side of Jordan and three in the land of Canaan, to be safe places for flight.
¹⁵ For the children of Israel and for the man from another country who is living among them, these six towns are to be safe places, where anyone causing the death of another through error may go in flight.
¹⁶ But if a man gives another man a blow with an iron instrument, causing his death, he is a taker of life and is certainly to be put to death.
¹⁷ Or if he gives him a blow with a stone in his hand, causing his death, he is a taker of life and is certainly to be put to death.
¹⁸ Or if he gave him blows with a wood instrument in his hands, causing his death, he is a taker of life and is certainly to be put to death.
¹⁹ He whose right it is to give punishment for blood, may himself put to death the taker of life when he comes face to face with him.
²⁰ If in his hate he put a sword through him, or waiting secretly for him sent a spear or stone at him, causing his death;
²¹ Or in hate gave him blows with his hand, causing death; he who gave the death-blow is to be put to death; he is a taker of life: he whose right it is to give punishment for blood may put to death the taker of life when he comes face to face with him.
²² But if a man has given a wound to another suddenly and not in hate, or without design has sent something against him,
²³ Or has given him a blow with a stone, without seeing him, so causing his death, though he had nothing against him and no desire to do him evil:
²⁴ Then let the meeting of the people be judge between the man responsible for the death and him who has the right of punishment for blood, acting by these rules:
²⁵ And let the people keep the man responsible for the death safe from the hands of him who has the right of punishment for blood, and send him back to his safe town where he had gone in flight: there let him be till the death of the high priest who was marked with the holy oil.
²⁶ But if ever he goes outside the walls of the safe town where he had gone in flight,
²⁷ And the giver of punishment, meeting him outside the walls of the town, puts him to death, he will not be responsible for his blood:
²⁸ Because he had been ordered to keep inside the safe town till the death of the high priest: but after the death of the high priest the taker of life may come back to the place of his heritage.
²⁹ These rules are to be your guide in judging through all your generations wherever you may be living.
³⁰ Anyone causing the death of another is himself to be put to death on the word of witnesses: but the word of one witness is not enough.
³¹ Further, no price may be given for the life of one who has taken life and whose right reward is death: he is certainly to be put to death.
³² And no price may be offered for one who has gone in flight to a safe town, for the purpose of letting him come back to his place before the death of the high priest.
³³ So do not make the land where you are living unholy: for blood makes the land unholy: and there is no way of making the land free from the blood which has come on it, but only by the death of him who was the cause of it.
³⁴ Do not make unclean the land where you are living and in which is my House: for I the Lord am present among the children of Israel.
