Numbers 35
1 And the Lord spoke these things also to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan, over against Jericho:
And he spoke Yahweh to Moses in [the] plains of Moab at [the] Jordan of Jericho saying.
2 Command the children of Israel that they give to the Levites out of their possessions,
Command [the] people of Israel and they will give to the Levites some of [the] inheritance of possession their cities to dwell in and pasture land for the cities around them you will give to the Levites.
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:
And they will belong the cities to them to dwell in and pasture lands their they will be for cattle their and for property their and for every animal their.
4 Which suburbs shall reach from the walls of the cities outward, a thousand paces on every side:
And [the] pasture lands of the cities which you will give to the Levites [will be] from [the] wall of the city and [the] outside towards one thousand cubit[s] all around.
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.
And you will measure from [the] outside of the city [the] side of east-ward two thousand by the cubit and [the] side of [the] south two thousand by the cubit and [the] side of [the] west - two thousand by the cubit and [the] side of [the] north two thousand by the cubit and the city [will be] in the middle this it will belong to them [the] pasture lands of the cities.
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,
And the cities which you will give to the Levites [the] six [the] cities of refuge which you will give to flee there towards the killer and to them you will give forty and two citi[es].
7 That is, in all forty-eight with their suburbs.
All the cities which you will give to the Levites [will be] forty and eight citi[es] them and pasture lands their.
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.
And the cities which you will give from [the] possession of [the] people of Israel from with the many you will increase and from with the few you will decrease each one according to [the] mouth of inheritance its which they will inherit it will give some of cities its to the Levites.
9 The Lord said to Moses:
And he spoke Yahweh to Moses saying.
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,
Speak to [the] people of Israel and you will say to them if you [are] about to pass over the Jordan [the] land of towards Canaan.
11 Determine what cities shall be for the refuge of fugitives, who have shed blood against their will.
And you will make happen to yourselves cities cities of refuge they will be for you and he will flee there towards a killer [who] has struck down a person by inadvertence.
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.
And they will become for you the cities a refuge from an avenger and not he will die the killer until stands he before the congregation for judgment.
13 And of those cities, that are separated for the refuge of fugitives,
And the cities which you will give six cities of refuge they will be for you.
14 Three shall be beyond the Jordan, and three in the land of Chanaan,
- three Cities you will give from [the] other side of the Jordan and three cities you will give in [the] land of Canaan cities of refuge they will be.
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.
For [the] people of Israel and for the sojourner and for the resident alien in midst of them they will become [the] six the cities these a refuge to flee there towards any [one who] strikes down a person by inadvertence.
16 If any man strike with iron, and he die that was struck: he shall be guilty of murder, and he himself shall die.
And if with an instrument of iron - he struck down him and he died [is] a killer he certainly he will be put to death the killer.
17 If he throw a stone, and he that is struck die: he shall be punished in the same manner.
And if with a stone of hand which someone will die by it he struck down him and he died [is] a killer he certainly he will be put to death the killer.
18 If he that is struck with wood die: he shall be revenged by the blood of him that struck him.
Or with an instrument of wood of hand which someone will die by it he struck down him and he died [is] a killer he certainly he will be put to death the killer.
19 The kinsman of him that was slain, shall kill the murderer: as soon as he apprehendeth him, he shall kill him.
[the] avenger of Blood he he will put to death the killer when meets he him he he will put to death him.
20 If through hatred any one push a man, or fling any thing at him with ill design:
And if in hatred he will push him or he threw on him with lying in wait and he died.
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.
Or in enmity he struck down him with hand his and he died certainly he will be put to death the [one who] struck [is] a killer he [the] avenger of blood he will put to death the killer when meets he him.
22 But if by chance medley, and without hatred,
And if in an instant with not enmity he pushed him or he threw on him any weapon with not lying in wait.
23 And enmity, he do any of these things,
Or with any stone which someone will die by it with not seeing [him] and he made [it] fall on him and he died and he not [was] an enemy of him and not [was] seeking harm his.
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:
And they will judge the congregation between the [one who] struck and between [the] avenger of blood on the judgments these.
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.
And they will deliver the congregation the killer from [the] hand of [the] avenger of blood and they will return him the congregation to [the] city of refuge his where he had fled there towards and he will dwell in it until [the] death of the priest great whom someone had anointed him with [the] oil of holiness.
26 If the murderer be found without the limits of the cities that are appointed for the banished,
And if ever he will go out the killer [the] border of [the] city of refuge his where he will flee there towards.
27 And be struck by him that is the avenger of blood: he shall not be guilty that killed him.
And he will find him [the] avenger of blood from [the] outside of [the] border of [the] city of refuge his and he will kill [the] avenger of blood the killer not [will belong] to him blood.
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.
For in [the] city of refuge his he will remain until [the] death of the priest great and after [the] death of the priest great he will return the killer to [the] land of possession his.
29 These things shall be perpetual, and for an ordinance in all your dwellings.
And they will become these [things] for you a statute of judgment to generations your in all dwelling places your.
30 The murderer shall be punished by witnesses: none shall be condemned upon the evidence of one man.
Any [one who] strikes down a person to [the] mouth of witnesses someone will kill the killer and a witness one not he will testify against anyone to die.
31 You shall not take money of him that is guilty of blood, but he shall die forthwith.
And not you will take a ransom for [the] life of a killer who he [is] guilty to die for certainly he will be put to death.
32 The banished and fugitives before the death of the high priest may by no means return into their own cities.
And not you will take a ransom to flee to [the] city of refuge his to return to dwell in the land until [the] death of the priest.
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.
And not you will pollute the land which you [are] in it for blood it it pollutes the land and for the land not it will be atoned to the blood which it was shed in it that except by [the] blood of [the] [one who] shed it.
34 And thus shall your possession he cleansed, myself abiding with you. For I am the Lord that dwell among the children of Israel.
And not you will make unclean the land which you [are] dwelling in it which I [am] dwelling in [the] midst of it for I Yahweh [am] dwelling in among [the] people of Israel.
