3 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

for at en Manddraber, der uforsætligt og af Vanvare slår en ihjel, kan ty til dem, så at de kan være eder Tilflugtssteder mod Blodhævneren.

Når han tyr hen til en af disse Byer og stiller sig i Byportens Indgang og forebringer sin Sag for Byens Ældste, skal de optage ham i Byen hos sig og anvise ham et Sted, hvor han kan bo bos dem;

5 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

og når Blodhævneren forfølger ham, må de ikke udlevere Manddraberen til ham, thi han har slået sin Næste ihjel af Vanvare uden i Forvejen at have båret Nag til ham;

6 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

han skal blive boende i denne By, indtil han har været stillet for Menighedens Domstol, eller den Mand, som på den Tid er Ypperstepræst, dør; derefter kan Manddraberen vende tilbage til sin By og sit Hjem, den By, han er flygtet fra."

Det var de Byer, som fastsattes for alle Israeliterne og de fremmede, som bor iblandt dem, i det Øjemed at enhver, der uforsætligt slår en ihjel, kan ty derhen og undgå Døden for Blodhævnerens Hånd, før han har været stillet for Menighedens Domstol.
