1: WhenH3588 has cut offH3772 YahwehH3068 your GodH0430 -H0853 the nations,H1471 of whomH0834 YahwehH3068 your GodH0430 is givingH5414 -H0853 landH0776 and you dispossess themH3423 and dwellH3427 in their cities,H5892 and in their houses-H1004

2: threeH7969 citiesH5892 you shall separateH0914 in the midstH8432 of your land,H0776 whichH0834 YahwehH3068 your GodH0430 is givingH5414 to possess.H3423

3: You shall prepareH3559 roads,H1870 and divide into three partsH8027 -H0853 the territoryH1366 of your land,H0776 whichH0834 is giving you to inherit,H5157 YahwehH3068 your GodH0430 that mayH1961 fleeH5127 thereH8033 anyH3605 manslayer.H7523

4: And this [is]H2088 the caseH1697 of the manslayer,H7523 whoH0834 fleesH5127 there,H8033 that he may live-H2425 WhoeverH0834 killsH5221 -H0853 his neighborH7453 notH1097 intentionallyH1847 and himH1931 notH3808 intended harmH8130 in pastH8543 time.H8032

5: And as when [a [man]H0834 goesH0935 withH0854 his neighborH7453 to the woodsH3293 to cutH2404 timber,H6086 and swings a strokeH5080 his handH3027 with the axH1631 to cut downH3772 the tree,H6086 and slipsH5394 the headH1270 fromH4480 the handle,H6086 and strikesH4672 -H0853 his neighbor,H7453 so that he dies-H4191 heH1931 shall fleeH5127 toH0413 oneH0259 of cities,H5892 theseH0428 and live-H2425

6: lestH6435 pursueH7291 the avengerH1350 of bloodH1818 afterH0310 the manslayer,H7523 whileH3588 is hot,H3179 his angerH3824 and overtake himH5381 becauseH3588 is long,H7235 the wayH1870 and killH5221 him-H5315 notH0369 deserveH4941 of death,H4194 sinceH3588 notH3808 had hatedH8130 heH1931 in pastH8543 time.H8032

7: UponH5921 thusH3651 IH0595 command youH6680 saying,H0559 threeH7969 citiesH5892 You shall separateH0914

8: And ifH0518 enlargesH7337 YahwehH3068 your GodH0430 -H0853 your territory,H1366 asH0834 He sworeH7650 to your fathers,H0001 and givesH5414 -H0853 allH3605 the landH0776 whichH0834 He promisedH1696 to giveH5414 to your fathers-H0001

9: and ifH3588 you keepH8104 -H0853 allH3605 commandmentH4687 thisH2063 and do themH6213 whichH0834 IH0595 command youH6680 today,H3117 to loveH0157 -H0853 YahwehH3069 your God,H0430 and to walkH1980 in His ways-H1870 everH3605 alwaysH3117 then you shall addH3254 moreH5750 threeH7969 citiesH5892 besidesH5921 threeH7969 these.H0428

10: And lestH3808 be shedH8210 bloodH1818 innocentH5355 in the midstH7130 of your land,H0776 whichH0834 YahwehH3068 your GodH0430 is givingH5414 [as] an inheritance,H5159 and [thus] beH1961 upon youH5921 guilt of bloodshed.H1818

11: But ifH3588 comesH1961 anyoneH0376 to hateH8130 his neighbor,H7453 and lies in waitH0693 and risesH6965 against himH5921 and strikes himH5221 mortallyH5315 so that he dies,H4191 and he fleesH5127 toH0413 oneH0259 of cities,H5892 these.H0411

12: Then shall sendH7971 the eldersH2205 of his cityH5892 and bringH3947 himH0853 from there,H8033 and deliver overH5414 himH0853 to the handH3027 of avengerH1350 of the blood,H1818 that he may die.H4191

13: NotH3808 shall pityH2347 Your eyeH5869 himH5921 but you shall put awayH1197 bloodH1818 [the guilt of] innocentH5355 from IsraelH3478 that it may go wellH2896

14: NotH3808 You shall removeH5253 landmark,H1366 of your neighborH7453 whichH0834 have setH1379 the men of oldH7223 in your inheritance,H5159 whichH0834 you will inheritH5157 in the landH0776 thatH0834 YahwehH3068 your GodH0430 is givingH5414 to possess.H3423

15: NotH3808 shall riseH6965 witnessH5707 oneH0259 against a manH0376 concerning anyH3605 iniquity,H5771 or anyH3605 sin,H2403 in anyH3605 sinH2399 thatH0834 he commits-H2398 byH5921 the mouthH6310 of twoH8147 witnesses,H5707 orH0176 uponH5921 the mouthH6310 of threeH7969 witnesses,H5707 shall be establishedH6965 the matter.H1697

16: IfH3588 risesH6965 a witnessH5707 FALSEH2555 against any manH0376 to testifyH6030 of wrongdoing-H5627

17: then shall standH5975 the twoH8147 of the men,H0376 whomH0834 between themH1992 [is] the controversyH7379 beforeH6440 Yahweh,H3068 beforeH6440 the priestsH3548 and the judges,H8199 whoH0834 serveH1961 in days-H3117 those.H1992

18: And shall make inquiry-H1875 the judgesH8199 careful,H3190 and [if] indeed,H2009 the witness [is]H5707 FALSEH8267 a witness,H5707 falselyH8267 who has testifiedH6030 against his brother-H0251

19: then you shall doH6213 asH0834 he thoughtH2161 to have doneH6213 to his brother.H0251 So you shall put awayH1197 the evilH7451 from among you.H7130

20: And those who remainH7604 shall hear,H8085 and fear,H3372 and notH3808 they shall commitH3254 hereafterH6213 againH5750 such thingH1697 evilH7451 thisH2088 among you.H7130

21: And notH3808 shall pity-H2347 Your eyeH5869 life [shall be]H5315 for life,H5315 eyeH5869 for eye,H5869 toothH8127 for tooth,H8127 handH3027 for hand,H3027 footH7272 for foot.H7272
