Joshua 20

1 And Yahweh spake unto Joshua, saying:

and to speak: speak LORD to(wards) Joshua to/for to say

2 Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, —Set out for you the cities of refuge, whereof I spake unto you, by the hand of Moses:

to speak: speak to(wards) son: descendant/people Israel to/for to say to give: put to/for you [obj] city [the] refuge which to speak: speak to(wards) you in/on/with hand: by Moses

3 that the manslayer who slayeth a person by mistake, unwittingly, may flee thither, —so shall they be unto you for refuge from the blood-redeemer,

to/for to flee there [to] to murder to smite soul: person in/on/with unintentionally in/on/with without knowledge and to be to/for you to/for refuge from to redeem: avenge [the] blood

4 and he shall flee unto one of these cities and present himself at the entrance of the gate of the city, and shall speak, in the ears of the elders of that city, his defence, —and they shall take him for protection into the city unto them, and shall give him a place, so shall he dwell with them.

and to flee to(wards) one from [the] city [the] these and to stand: stand entrance gate [the] city and to speak: speak in/on/with ear: to ears (old: elder [the] city *LA(bh)*) [the] he/she/it [obj] word: case his and to gather [obj] him [the] city [to] to(wards) them and to give: give to/for him place and to dwell with them

5 And, when the blood-redeemer pursueth after him, then shall they not deliver up the manslayer, into his hand, —because, unwittingly, it was that he slew his neighbour, and had not been, cherishing hatred, towards him, aforetime;

and for to pursue to redeem: avenge [the] blood after him and not to shut [obj] [the] to murder in/on/with hand: power his for in/on/with without knowledge to smite [obj] neighbor his and not to hate he/she/it to/for him from yesterday three days ago

6 so shall he remain in that city, until he standeth before the assembly, for judgment, until the death of the high-priest who shall be in those days, —then, shall the manslayer return, and enter into his own city, and into his own house, within the city from whence he fled.

and to dwell in/on/with city [the] he/she/it till to stand: stand he to/for face: before [the] congregation to/for justice: judgement till death [the] priest [the] great: large which to be in/on/with day [the] they(masc.) then to return: return [the] to murder and to come (in): come to(wards) city his and to(wards) house: home his to(wards) [the] city which to flee from there

7 So then they set apart Kadesh in Galilee, in the hill country of Naphtali, and Shechem, in the hill country of Ephraim, and Kiriath-arba, the same, is Hebron, in the hill country of Judah.

and to consecrate: prepare [obj] Kedesh in/on/with Galilee in/on/with mountain: hill country Naphtali and [obj] Shechem in/on/with mountain: hill country Ephraim and [obj] Kiriath-arba Kiriath-arba he/she/it Hebron in/on/with mountain: hill country Judah

8 And, beyond the Jordan, by Jericho eastward, they appointed Bezer in the wilderness, in the table-land, out of the tribe of Reuben, —and Ramoth in Gilead, out of the tribe of Gad, and Golan in Bashan, out of the tribe of Manasseh.

and from side: beyond to/for Jordan Jericho east [to] to give: put [obj] Bezer in/on/with wilderness in/on/with plain from tribe Reuben and [obj] Ramoth in/on/with Gilead from tribe Gad and [obj] (Golan *Q(K)*) in/on/with Bashan from tribe Manasseh

9 These, were the cities appointed for all the sons of Israel, and for the sojourner who sojourneth in their midst, that whosoever should slay a person by mistake, might flee thither, —and not die by the hand of the blood-redeemer, until he should stand before the assembly.

these to be city [the] designated to/for all son: descendant/people Israel and to/for sojourner [the] to sojourn in/on/with midst their to/for to flee there [to] all to smite soul: person in/on/with unintentionally and not to die in/on/with hand to redeem: avenge [the] blood till to stand: stand he to/for face: before [the] congregation
