 35:1 ¶
And the Lord spoke to Mosheh{gr.Moses} to the west of Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying, |
|
 35:1 ¶
And Yahwehº
spakeºº
untoº
Mosesº
in the plainsº
of Moabº
byº
Jordanº
[near] Jericho,º
saying,ºº |
 35:2
Give orders to the children of Israel, and they shall give to the Levites cities to dwell in from the lot of their possession, and they shall give to the Levites the suburbs of the cities round about them. |
|
 35:2
Commandººº
the childrenº
of Israel,º
that they giveºº
unto the Levitesº
of the inheritanceºº
of their possessionº
citiesº
to dwell in;ºº
and ye shall giveºº
[also] unto the Levitesº
suburbsº
for the citiesº
round aboutº
them. |
 35:3
And the cities shall be for them to dwell in, and their enclosures shall be for their cattle and all their beasts. |
|
 35:3
And the citiesº
shall they haveº
to dwell in;ºº
and the suburbsº
of them shall beº
for their cattle,º
and for their goods,º
and for allº
their beasts.º |
 35:4
And the suburbs of the cities which ye shall give to the Levites, shall be from the wall of the city and outwards two thousand cubits round about. |
|
 35:4
And the suburbsº
of the cities,º
whichº
ye shall giveºº
unto the Levites,º
[shall reach] from the wallºº
of the cityº
and outwardº
a thousandº
cubitsº
round about.º |
 35:5
And thou shalt measure outside 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 your city shall be in the midst of this, and the suburbs of the cities [as described]. |
|
 35:5
And ye shall measureºº
from withoutºº
the cityº
onº
the eastº
sideº
two thousandº
cubits,º
and on the southº
sideº
two thousandº
cubits,º
and on the westº
sideº
two thousandº
cubits,º
and on the northº
sideº
two thousandº
cubits;º
and the cityº
[shall be] in the midst:º
thisº
shall beº
to them the suburbsº
of the cities.º |
 35:6
And ye shall give the cities to the Levites, the six cities of refuge which ye shall give for the slayer to flee thither, and in addition to these, forty-two cities. |
|
 35:6
And amongº
the citiesº
whichº
ye shall giveºº
unto the Levitesº
[there shall be]º
sixº
citiesº
for refuge,º
whichº
ye shall appointºº
for the manslayer,ºº
that he may fleeºº
thither:º
and toº
them ye shall addºº
fortyº
and twoº
cities.º |
 35:7
Ye shall give to the Levites in all forty-eight cities, them and their suburbs. |
|
 35:7
[So] allº
the citiesº
whichº
ye shall giveºº
to the Levitesº
[shall be] fortyº
and eightº
cities:º
them [shall ye give] withº
their suburbs.º |
 35:8
And as for the cities which ye shall give out of the possession of the children of Israel, from those [that have] much [ye shall give] much, and from those that have less ye shall give less: they shall give of their cities to the Levites each one according to his inheritance which they shall inherit. |
|
 35:8
And the citiesº
whichº
ye shall giveºº
[shall be] of the possessionºº
of the childrenº
of Israel:º
fromºº
[them that have] manyº
ye shall give many;ºº
but fromºº
[them that have] fewº
ye shall give few:ºº
every oneº
shall giveºº
of his citiesºº
unto the Levitesº
accordingº
toº
his inheritanceº
whichº
he inheriteth.ºº |
 35:9 ¶
And the Lord spoke to Mosheh{gr.Moses}, saying, |
|
 35:9 ¶
And Yahwehº
spakeºº
untoº
Moses,º
saying,ºº |
 35:10
Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them, Ye are to cross over Jordan into the land of Canaan{gr.Chanaan}. |
|
 35:10
Speakºº
untoº
the childrenº
of Israel,º
and sayºº
untoº
them, Whenº
yeº
be come overººº
Jordanº
into the landº
of Canaan;º |
 35:11
And ye shall appoint to yourselves cities: they shall be to you cities of refuge for the slayer to flee to, every one who has killed another unintentionally. |
|
 35:11
Then ye shall appointºº
you citiesº
to beº
citiesº
of refugeº
for you; that the slayerºº
may fleeºº
thither,º
which killethºº
any personº
at unawares.º |
 35:12
And the cities shall be to you places of refuge from the avenger of blood, and the slayer shall not die until he stands before the congregation for judgment. |
|
 35:12
And they shall beº
unto you citiesº
for refugeº
from the avenger;ººº
that the manslayerºº
dieºº
not,º
untilº
he standºº
beforeº
the congregationº
in judgment.º |
 35:13
And the cities which ye shall assign, [even] the six cities, shall be places of refuge for you. |
|
 35:13
And of these citiesº
whichº
ye shall giveºº
sixº
citiesº
shall ye haveº
for refuge.º |
 35:14
Ye shall assign three cities on the other side of Jordan, and ye shall assign three cities in the land of Canaan{gr.Chanaan}. |
|
 35:14
Ye shall giveººº
threeº
citiesº
on this sideºº
Jordan,º
and threeº
citiesº
shall ye giveºº
in the landº
of Canaan,º
[which] shall beº
citiesº
of refuge.º |
 35:15
It shall be a place of refuge for the children of Israel, and for the stranger, and for him that sojourns among you; these cities shall be for a place of refuge, for every one to flee thither who has killed a man unintentionally. |
|
 35:15
Theseº
sixº
citiesº
shall beº
a refuge,º
[both] for the childrenº
of Israel,º
and for the stranger,º
and for the sojournerº
amongº
them: that every oneº
that killethºº
any personº
unawaresº
may fleeºº
thither.º |
 35:16
And if he should smite him with an iron instrument, and the man should die, he is a murderer; let the murderer by all means be put to death. |
|
 35:16
And ifº
he smiteºº
him with an instrumentº
of iron,º
so that he die,ºº
heº
[is] a murderer:ºº
the murdererºº
shall surelyºº
be put to death.ºº |
 35:17
And if he should smite him with a stone [thrown] from his hand, whereby a man may die, and he [thus] die, he is a murderer; let the murderer by all means be put to death. |
|
 35:17
And ifº
he smiteºº
him with throwingº
a stone,º
wherewithº
he may die,ºº
and he die,ºº
heº
[is] a murderer:ºº
the murdererºº
shall surelyºº
be put to death.ºº |
 35:18
And if he should smite him with an instrument of wood from his hand, whereby he may die, and he [thus] die, he is a murderer; let the murderer by all means be put to death. |
|
 35:18
Orº
[if] he smiteºº
him with an handº
weaponº
of wood,º
wherewithº
he may die,ºº
and he die,ºº
heº
[is] a murderer:ºº
the murdererºº
shall surelyºº
be put to death.ºº |
 35:19
The avenger of blood himself shall slay the murderer: whensoever he shall meet him he shall slay him. |
|
 35:19
The revengerºº
of bloodº
himselfº
shall slayººº
the murderer:ºº
when he meetethºº
him, heº
shall slayºº
him. |
 35:20
And if he should thrust him through enmity, or cast any thing upon him from an ambuscade, and the man should die, |
|
 35:20
But ifº
he thrustºº
him of hatred,º
orº
hurlºº
atº
him by laying of wait,º
that he die;ºº |
 35:21
or if he have smitten him with his hand through anger, and the man should die, let the man that smote him be put to death by all means, he is a murderer: let the murderer by all means be put to death: the avenger of blood shall slay the murderer when he meets him. |
|
 35:21
Orº
in enmityº
smiteºº
him with his hand,º
that he die:ºº
he that smoteºº
[him] shall surelyºº
be put to death;ºº
[for] heº
[is] a murderer:ºº
the revengerºº
of bloodº
shall slayººº
the murderer,ºº
when he meetethºº
him. |
 35:22
But if he should thrust him suddenly, not through enmity, or cast any thing upon him, not from an ambuscade, |
|
 35:22
But ifº
he thrustºº
him suddenlyº
withoutº
enmity,º
orº
have castºº
uponº
him any thingºº
withoutº
laying of wait,º |
 35:23
or [smite him] with any stone, whereby a man may die, unawares, and it should fall upon him, and he should die, but he was not his enemy, nor sought to hurt him; |
|
 35:23
Orº
with anyº
stone,º
wherewithº
a man may die,ºº
seeingºº
[him] not,º
and castºº
[it] uponº
him, that he die,ºº
and [was] notº
his enemy,ºº
neitherº
soughtºº
his harm:º |
 35:24
then the assembly shall judge between the smiter and the avenger of blood, according to these judgments. |
|
 35:24
Then the congregationº
shall judgeºº
betweenº
the slayerºº
and the revengerºº
of bloodº
according toº
theseº
judgments:º |
 35:25
And the congregation shall rescue the slayer from the avenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore him to his city of refuge, whither he fled for refuge; and he shall dwell there till the death of the high-priest, whom they anointed with the holy oil. |
|
 35:25
And the congregationº
shall deliverººº
the slayerºº
out of the handºº
of the revengerºº
of blood,º
and the congregationº
shall restoreºº
him toº
the cityº
of his refuge,º
whitherºº
he was fled:ºº
and he shall abideºº
in it untoº
the deathº
of the highº
priest,º
whichº
was anointedºº
with the holyº
oil.º |
 35:26
But if the slayer should in any wise go out beyond the bounds of the city whither he fled for refuge, |
|
 35:26
But ifº
the slayerºº
shall at any timeºº
comeºº
withoutºº
the borderº
of the cityº
of his refuge,º
whitherºº
he was fled;ºº |
 35:27
and the avenger of blood should find him without the bounds of the city of his refuge, and the avenger of blood should kill the slayer, he is not guilty. |
|
 35:27
And the revengerºº
of bloodº
findºº
him withoutºº
the bordersº
of the cityº
of his refuge,º
and the revengerºº
of bloodº
killººº
the slayer;ºº
he shall notº
be guilty of blood:º |
 35:28
For he ought to have remained in the city of refuge till the high-priest died; and after the death of the high-priest the slayer shall return to the land of his possession. |
|
 35:28
Becauseº
he should have remainedºº
in the cityº
of his refugeº
untilº
the deathº
of the highº
priest:º
but afterº
the deathº
of the highº
priestº
the slayerºº
shall returnºº
intoº
the landº
of his possession.º |
 35:29
And these things shall be to you for an ordinance of judgment throughout your generations in all your dwellings. |
|
 35:29
So theseº
[things] shall beº
for a statuteº
of judgmentº
unto you throughout your generationsº
in allº
your dwellings.º |
 35:30
Whoever kills a man, thou shalt slay the murderer on the testimony of witnesses; and one witness shall not testify against a soul that he should die. |
|
 35:30
Whosoº
killethºº
any person,ºº
the murdererºº
shall be put to deathºº
by the mouthº
of witnesses:º
but oneº
witnessº
shall notº
testifyºº
against any personº
[to cause him] to die.ºº |
 35:31
And ye shall not accept ransoms for life from a murderer who is worthy of death, for he shall be surely put to death. |
|
 35:31
Moreover ye shall takeºº
noº
satisfactionº
for the lifeº
of a murderer,ºº
whichº
[is] guiltyº
of death:ºº
butº
he shall be surelyºº
put to death.ºº |
 35:32
Ye shall not accept a ransom [to excuse] his fleeing to the city of refuge, so that he should again dwell in the land, until the death of the high-priest. |
|
 35:32
And ye shall takeºº
noº
satisfactionº
for him that is fledºº
toº
the cityº
of his refuge,º
that he should come againºº
to dwellºº
in the land,º
untilº
the deathº
of the priest.º |
 35:33
So shall ye not pollute with murder the land in which ye dwell; for this blood pollutes the land, and the land shall not be purged from the blood shed upon it, but by the blood of him that shed it. |
|
 35:33
So ye shall notº
polluteººº
the landº
whereinº
yeº
[are]: forº
bloodº
itº
defilethººº
the land:º
and the landº
cannotº
be cleansedºº
of the bloodº
thatº
is shedºº
therein, butºº
by the bloodº
of him that shedºº
it. |
 35:34
And ye shall not defile the land whereon ye dwell, on which I dwell in the midst of you; for I am the Lord dwelling in the midst of the children of Israel. |
|
 35:34
Defileºº
notº
thereforeº
the landº
whichº
yeº
shall inhabit,ºº
whereinºº
Iº
dwell:ºº
forº
Iº
Yahwehº
dwellºº
amongº
the childrenº
of Israel.º |
