29 These are those whom vuvh commanded to divide the
inheritance to the children of Yisrael in the land of
Kanaan. 524
35 And vuvh spoke to Moshe in the plains of Moav by
Yarden near Yericho, saying,
2 Command the children of Yisrael that they give to the
Lewiym from the inheritance of their possession, cities to
dwell in; and you shall give also to the Lewiym suburbs
for the cities all around them.
3 And the cities shall they have to dwell in; and the
suburbs shall be for their cattle, and for their goods, and
for all their beasts.
4 And the suburbs of the cities, which you shall give to the
Lewiym, shall reach from the wall of the city and outward
a thousand cubits all around.
5 And you shall measure from 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 the
city shall be in the midst: this shall be to them the suburbs
of the cities.
6 And among the cities which you shall give to the
Lewiym there shall be six cities for refuge, which you
shall appoint for the manslayer, that he may flee there:
and to these you shall add forty-two cities.
7 So all the cities that you shall give to the Lewiym shall
be forty eight cities: those shall you give with their
suburbs.
8 And the cities which you shall give shall be from the
possession of the children of Yisrael: from those that have
many you shall give many; but from those that have few
you shall give few: every one shall give from his cities to
the Lewiym according to his inheritance which he
inherits.
9 And vuvh spoke to Moshe, saying,
10 Speak to the children of Yisrael, and say to them,
When you have come over Yarden into the land of
Kanaan;
11 Then you shall appoint cities to be cities of refuge for
yourselves; that the killer may flee there, who kills any
person accidentally.
12 And they shall be for you cities for refuge from the
avenger; that the killer dies not, until he stands before the
congregation in mishpat.
13 And of these cities which you shall give, six cities shall
you have for refuge.
14 You shall give three cities on this side of the Yarden
River, and three cities shall you give in the land of
Kanaan, which shall be cities of refuge.
15 These six cities shall be a refuge, both for the children
of Yisrael, and for the ger, and for the sojourner among

them: that anyone that kills any person by accident may
flee there. 525
16 And if he smites him with an instrument of iron, so that
he dies, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be
put to death.
17 And if he smites him by throwing a stone, by which he
may die, and he dies, he is a murderer: the murderer shall
surely be put to death.
18 Or, if he smites him with a hand weapon of wood, by
which he may die, and he dies, he is a murderer: the
murderer shall surely be put to death.
19 The revenger of dahm himself shall slay the murderer:
when he meets him, he shall slay him.
20 But if he threw him because of hatred, or hurled
something at him while laying in wait, that he dies;
21 Or, in enmity smote him with his hand so that he dies:
he that smote him shall surely be put to death; for he is a
murderer: the revenger of dahm shall slay the murderer,
when he meets him.
22 But if he threw him suddenly without enmity, or has
thrown at him anything without lying in wait,
23 Or, with any stone, by which a man may die, seeing
him not, and cast it at him, that he dies, and was not his
enemy, neither sought his harm:
24 Then the congregation shall judge between the slayer
and the revenger of dahm according to these mishpatim:
25 And the congregation shall deliver the slayer out of the
hand of the revenger of dahm, and the congregation shall
restore him to the city of his refuge, where he had fled:
and he shall abide in it until the death of the Kohen
HaGadol, who was anointed with the kadosh oil.
26 But if the slayer shall at any time come outside the
border of the city of his refuge, where he fled;
27 And the revenger of dahm finds him outside the
borders of the city of his refuge, and the revenger of dahm
kills the slayer; he shall not be guilty of dahm:
28 Because he should have remained in the city of his
refuge until the death of the Kohen HaGadol: but after
the death of the Kohen HaGadol the slayer shall return
into the land of his possession.
29 So these things shall be for a chuk of mishpat to you
throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
30 Whoever kills 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.
31 Moreover you shall take no ransom for the chayim of a
murderer, who is guilty of death: but he shall be surely
put to death.
32 And you shall take no ransom 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 kohen.
33 So you shall not pollute the land in which you are: for
dahm defiles the land: and the land cannot be cleansed of
the dahm that is shed on it, except by the dahm of him
who shed it.
34 Defile not the land that you shall inhabit, in which I
dwell: for I vuvh dwell among the children of Yisrael.
