- Yahweh spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho, saying,
- "Command the children of Israel that they give to the Levites of the inheritance of their possession cities to dwell in; and you shall give suburbs for the cities around them to the Levites.
- The cities shall they have to dwell in; and their suburbs shall be for their livestock, and for their substance, and for all their animals.
- "The suburbs of the cities, which you shall give to the Levites, shall be from the wall of the city and outward one thousand cubits around it.
- You shall measure outside of the city for the east side two thousand cubits, and for the south side two thousand cubits, and for the west side two thousand cubits, and for the north side two thousand cubits, the city being in the midst. This shall be to them the suburbs of the cities.
- "The cities which you shall give to the Levites, they shall be the six cities of refuge, which you shall give for the manslayer to flee to: and besides them you shall give forty-two cities.
- All the cities which you shall give to the Levites shall be forty-eight cities together with their suburbs.
- Concerning the cities which you shall give of the possession of the children of Israel, from the many you shall take many; and from the few you shall take few: everyone according to his inheritance which he inherits shall give of his cities to the Levites."
- Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
- "Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, 'When you pass over the Jordan into the land of Canaan,
- then you shall appoint you cities to be cities of refuge for you, that the manslayer who kills any person unwittingly may flee there.
- The cities shall be to you for refuge from the avenger, that the manslayer not die, until he stands before the congregation for judgment.
- The cities which you shall give shall be for you six cities of refuge.
- You shall give three cities beyond the Jordan, and you shall give three cities in the land of Canaan; they shall be cities of refuge.
- For the children of Israel, and for the stranger and for the foreigner living among them, shall these six cities be for refuge; that everyone who kills any person unwittingly may flee there.
- "'But if he struck him with an instrument of iron, so that he died, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
- If he struck him with a stone in the hand, by which a man may die, and he died, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
- Or if he struck him with a weapon of wood in the hand, by which a man may die, and he died, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
- The avenger of blood shall himself put the murderer to death: when he meets him, he shall put him to death.
- If he thrust him of hatred, or hurled at him, lying in wait, so that he died,
- or in enmity struck him with his hand, so that he died; he who struck him shall surely be put to death; he is a murderer: the avenger of blood shall put the murderer to death, when he meets him.
- "'But if he thrust him suddenly without enmity, or hurled on him anything without lying in wait,
- or with any stone, by which a man may die, not seeing him, and cast it on him, so that he died, and he was not his enemy, neither sought his harm;
- then the congregation shall judge between the striker and the avenger of blood according to these ordinances;
- and the congregation shall deliver the manslayer out of the hand of the avenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore him to his city of refuge, where he was fled: and he shall dwell therein until the death of the high priest, who was anointed with the holy oil.
- "'But if the manslayer shall at any time go beyond the border of his city of refuge, where he flees,
- and the avenger of blood find him outside of the border of his city of refuge, and the avenger of blood kill the manslayer; he shall not be guilty of blood,
- because he should have remained in his city of refuge until the death of the high priest: but after the death of the high priest the manslayer shall return into the land of his possession.
- "'These things shall be for a statute [and] ordinance to you throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
- "'Whoever kills any person, the murderer shall be slain at the mouth of witnesses: but one witness shall not testify against any person that he die.
- "'Moreover you shall take no ransom for the life of a murderer who is guilty of death; but he shall surely be put to death.
- "'You shall take no ransom for him who is fled to his city of refuge, that he may come again to dwell in the land, until the death of the priest.
- "'So you shall not pollute the land in which you are: for blood, it pollutes the land; and no expiation can be made for the land for the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him who shed it.
- You shall not defile the land which you inhabit, in the midst of which I dwell: for I, Yahweh, dwell in the midst of the children of Israel.'"

- וידבר יהוה אל־משה בערבת מואב על־ירדן ירחו לאמר׃
- צו את־בני ישראל ונתנו ללוים מנחלת אחזתם ערים לשבת ומגרש לערים סביבתיהם תתנו ללוים׃
- והיו הערים להם לשבת ומגרשיהם יהיו לבהמתם ולרכשם ולכל חיתם׃
- ומגרשי הערים אשר תתנו ללוים מקיר העיר וחוצה אלף אמה סביב׃
- ומדתם מחוץ לעיר את־פאת־קדמה אלפים באמה ואת־פאת־נגב אלפים באמה ואת־פאת־ים אלפים באמה ואת פאת צפון אלפים באמה והעיר בתוך זה יהיה להם מגרשי הערים׃
- ואת הערים אשר תתנו ללוים את שש־ערי המקלט אשר תתנו לנס שמה הרצח ועליהם תתנו ארבעים ושתים עיר׃
- כל־הערים אשר תתנו ללוים ארבעים ושמנה עיר אתהן ואת־מגרשיהן׃
- והערים אשר תתנו מאחזת בני־ישראל מאת הרב תרבו ומאת המעט תמעיטו איש כפי נחלתו אשר ינחלו יתן מעריו ללוים׃ ף
- וידבר יהוה אל־משה לאמר׃
- דבר אל־בני ישראל ואמרת אלהם כי אתם עברים את־הירדן ארצה כנען׃
- והקריתם לכם ערים ערי מקלט תהיינה לכם ונס שמה רצח מכה־נפש בשגגה׃
- והיו לכם הערים למקלט מגאל ולא ימות הרצח עד־עמדו לפני העדה למשפט׃
- והערים אשר תתנו שש־ערי מקלט תהיינה לכם׃
- את שלש הערים תתנו מעבר לירדן ואת שלש הערים תתנו בארץ כנען ערי מקלט תהיינה׃
- לבני ישראל ולגר ולתושב בתוכם תהיינה שש־הערים האלה למקלט לנוס שמה כל־מכה־נפש בשגגה׃
- ואם־בכלי ברזל הכהו וימת רצח הוא מות יומת הרצח׃
- ואם באבן יד אשר־ימות בה הכהו וימת רצח הוא מות יומת הרצח׃
- או בכלי עץ־יד אשר־ימות בו הכהו וימת רצח הוא מות יומת הרצח׃
- גאל הדם הוא ימית את־הרצח בפגעו־בו הוא ימיתנו׃
- ואם־בשנאה יהדפנו או־השליך עליו בצדיה וימת׃
- או באיבה הכהו בידו וימת מות־יומת המכה רצח הוא גאל הדם ימית את־הרצח בפגעו־בו׃
- ואם־בפתע בלא־איבה הדפו או־השליך עליו כל־כלי בלא צדיה׃
- או בכל־אבן אשר־ימות בה בלא ראות ויפל עליו וימת והוא לא־אויב לו ולא מבקש רעתו׃
- ושפטו העדה בין המכה ובין גאל הדם על המשפטים האלה׃
- והצילו העדה את־הרצח מיד גאל הדם והשיבו אתו העדה אל־עיר מקלטו אשר־נס שמה וישב בה עד־מות הכהן הגדל אשר־משח אתו בשמן הקדש׃
- ואם־יצא יצא הרצח את־גבול עיר מקלטו אשר ינוס שמה׃
- ומצא אתו גאל הדם מחוץ לגבול עיר מקלטו ורצח גאל הדם את־הרצח אין לו דם׃
- כי בעיר מקלטו ישב עד־מות הכהן הגדל ואחרי מות הכהן הגדל ישוב הרצח אל־ארץ אחזתו׃
- והיו אלה לכם לחקת משפט לדרתיכם בכל מושבתיכם׃
- כל־מכה־נפש לפי עדים ירצח את־הרצח ועד אחד לא־יענה בנפש למות׃
- ולא־תקחו כפר לנפש רצח אשר־הוא רשע למות כי־מות יומת׃
- ולא־תקחו כפר לנוס אל־עיר מקלטו לשוב לשבת בארץ עד־מות הכהן׃
- ולא־תחניפו את־הארץ אשר אתם בה כי הדם הוא יחניף את־הארץ ולארץ לא־יכפר לדם אשר שפך־בה כי־אם בדם שפכו׃
- ולא תטמא את־הארץ אשר אתם ישבים בה אשר אני שכן בתוכה כי אני יהוה שכן בתוך בני ישראל׃ ף

- Hæc quoque locutus est Dominus ad Moysen in campes tribus Moab supra Jordanem, contra Jericho :
- Præcipe filiis Israël ut dent Levitis de possessionibus suis
- urbes ad habitandum, et suburbana earum per circuitum : ut ipsi in oppidis maneant, et suburbana sint pecoribus ac jumentis :
- quæ a muris civitatum forinsecus, per circuitum, mille passuum spatio tendentur.
- Contra orientem duo millia erunt cubiti, et contra meridiem similiter erunt duo millia : ad mare quoque, quod respicit ad occidentem, eadem mensura erit, et septentrionalis plaga æquali termino finietur, eruntque urbes in medio, et foris suburbana.
- De ipsis autem oppidis, quæ Levitis dabitis, sex erunt in fugitivorum auxilia separata, ut fugiat ad ea qui fuderit sanguinem : et exceptis his, alia quadraginta duo oppida,
- id est, simul quadraginta octo cum suburbanis suis.
- Ipsæque urbes, quæ dabuntur de possessionibus filiorum Israël, ab his qui plus habent, plures auferentur : et qui minus, pauciores : singuli juxta mensuram hæreditatis suæ dabunt oppida Levitis.
- Ait Dominus ad Moysen :
- Loquere filiis Israël, et dices ad eos : Quando transgressi fueritis Jordanem in terram Chanaan,
- decernite quæ urbes esse debeant in præsidia fugitivorum, qui nolentes sanguinem fuderint :
- in quibus cum fuerit profugus, cognatus occisi non poterit eum occidere, donec stet in conspectu multitudinis, et causa illius judicetur.
- De ipsis autem urbibus, quæ ad fugitivorum subsidia separantur,
- tres erunt trans Jordanem, et tres in terra Chanaan,
- tam filiis Israël quam advenis atque peregrinis, ut confugiat ad eas qui nolens sanguinem fuderit.
- Si quis ferro percusserit, et mortuus fuerit qui percussus est, reus erit homicidii, et ipse morietur.
- Si lapidem jecerit, et ictus occubuerit, similiter punietur.
- Si ligno percussus interierit, percussoris sanguine vindicabitur.
- Propinquus occisi, homicidam interficiet : statim ut apprehenderit eum, interficiet.
- Si per odium quis hominem impulerit, vel jecerit quippiam in eum per insidias :
- aut cum esset inimicus, manu percusserit, et ille mortuus fuerit : percussor homicidii reus erit : cognatus occisi statim ut invenerit eum, jugulabit.
- Quod si fortuitu, et absque odio
- et inimicitiis quidquam horum fecerit,
- et hoc audiente populo fuerit comprobatum, atque inter percussorem et propinquum sanguinis quæstio ventilata :
- liberabitur innocens de ultoris manu, et reducetur per sententiam in urbem, ad quam confugerat, manebitque ibi, donec sacerdos magnus, qui oleo sancto unctus est, moriatur.
- Si interfector extra fines urbium, quæ exulibus deputatæ sunt,
- fuerit inventus, et percussus ab eo qui ultor est sanguinis : absque noxa erit qui eum occiderit.
- Debuerat enim profugus usque ad mortem pontificis in urbe residere. Postquam autem ille obierit, homicida revertetur in terram suam.
- Hæc sempiterna erunt, et legitima in cunctis habitationibus vestris.
- Homicida sub testibus punietur : ad unius testimonium nullus condemnabitur.
- Non accipietis pretium ab eo qui reus est sanguinis, statim et ipse morietur.
- Exules et profugi ante mortem pontificis nullo modo in urbes suas reverti poterunt,
- ne polluatis terram habitationis vestræ, quæ insontium cruore maculatur : nec aliter expiari potest, nisi per ejus sanguinem, qui alterius sanguinem fuderit.
- Atque ita emundabitur vestra possessio me commorante vobiscum. Ego enim sum Dominus qui habito inter filios Israël.

- And the LORD spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying,
- Command the children of Israel, that they give unto the Levites of the inheritance of their possession cities to dwell in; and ye shall give also unto the Levites suburbs for the cities round about them.
- And the cities shall they have to dwell in; and the suburbs of them shall be for their cattle, and for their goods, and for all their beasts.
- And the suburbs of the cities, which ye shall give unto the Levites, shall reach from the wall of the city and outward a thousand cubits round about.
- 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.
- And among the cities which ye shall give unto the Levites there shall be six cities for refuge, which ye shall appoint for the manslayer, that he may flee thither: and to them ye shall add forty and two cities.
- So all the cities which ye shall give to the Levites shall be forty and eight cities: them shall ye give with their suburbs.
- 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 unto the Levites according to his inheritance which he inheriteth.
- And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
- Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come over Jordan into the land of Canaan;
- Then ye shall appoint you cities to be cities of refuge for you; that the slayer may flee thither, which killeth any person at unawares.
- And they shall be unto you cities for refuge from the avenger; that the manslayer die not, until he stand before the congregation in judgment.
- And of these cities which ye shall give six cities shall ye have for refuge.
- Ye shall give three cities on this side Jordan, and three cities shall ye give in the land of Canaan, which shall be cities of refuge.
- 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.
- And if he smite him with an instrument of iron, so that he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
- And if he smite him with throwing a stone, wherewith he may die, and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
- Or if he smite him with an hand weapon of wood, wherewith he may die, and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
- The revenger of blood himself shall slay the murderer: when he meeteth him, he shall slay him.
- But if he thrust him of hatred, or hurl at him by laying of wait, that he die;
- Or in enmity smite him with his hand, that he die: he that smote him shall surely be put to death; for he is a murderer: the revenger of blood shall slay the murderer, when he meeteth him.
- But if he thrust him suddenly without enmity, or have cast upon him any thing without laying of wait,
- Or with any stone, wherewith a man may die, seeing him not, and cast it upon him, that he die, and was not his enemy, neither sought his harm:
- Then the congregation shall judge between the slayer and the revenger of blood according to these judgments:
- And the congregation shall deliver the slayer out of the hand of the revenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore him to the city of his refuge, whither he was fled: and he shall abide in it unto the death of the high priest, which was anointed with the holy oil.
- But if the slayer shall at any time come without the border of the city of his refuge, whither he was fled;
- And the revenger of blood find him without the borders of the city of his refuge, and the revenger of blood kill the slayer; he shall not be guilty of blood:
- 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.
- So these things shall be for a statute of judgment unto you throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
- Whoso 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.
- Moreover ye shall take no satisfaction for the life of a murderer, which is guilty of death: but he shall be surely put to death.
- And ye shall take no satisfaction for him that is fled to the city of his refuge, that he should come again to dwell in the land, until the death of the priest.
- So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye are: for blood it defileth the land: and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it.
- Defile not therefore the land which ye shall inhabit, wherein I dwell: for I the LORD dwell among the children of Israel.
