25: So shall deliverH5337 the congregationH5712 -H0853 the manslayerH7523 from the handH3027 of avengerH1350 of the blood,H1818 and shall returnH7725 himH0853 the congregationH5712 toH0413 the cityH5892 of refuge,H4733 whereH0834 he had fled-H5127 thereH8033 and he shall remainH3427 untilH5704 the deathH4194 of the priest,H3548 highH1419 whoH0834 was anointedH4886 -H0853 with oilH8081 the holy.H6944

29: And shall beH1961 these [things]H0428 a statuteH2708 of judgmentH4941 throughout your generationsH1755 in allH3605 your dwellings.H4186

30: WhoeverH3605 killsH5221 a person,H5315 on the testimonyH6310 of witnesses,H5707 shall be put to deathH7523 -H0853 the murdererH7523 but witnessH5707 oneH0259 notH3808 is [sufficient] testimonyH6030 against a personH5315 for the death [penalty].H4191

31: Moreover noH3808 you shall takeH3947 ransomH3724 for the lifeH5315 of a murderer,H7523 whoH0834 isH1931 guiltyH7563 of death,H4191 butH3588 surelyH4191 he shall be put to death.H4191

32: And noH3808 you shall takeH3947 ransomH3724 for him who has fledH5127 toH0413 cityH5892 of his refuge,H4733 that he may returnH7725 to dwellH3427 in the land,H0776 beforeH5704 the deathH4194 of the priest.H3548

33: So notH3808 you shall polluteH2610 -H0853 the landH0776 whereH0834 you [are]H0859 forH3588 bloodH1818 itH1931 defilesH2610 -H0853 the land-H0776 and the landH0776 noH3808 atonement can be madeH3722 for the bloodH1818 thatH0834 is shedH8210 butH3588 exceptH0518 by the bloodH1818 of him who shed it.H8210

34: Therefore notH3808 do defileH2930 -H0853 the landH0776 whichH0834 youH0859 inhabit,H3427 whichH0834 IH0589 dwell-H7931 in the midstH8432 forH3588 IH0589 YahwehH3068 dwellH7931 amongH8432 the sonsH1121 of Israel.H3478
