Deuteronomy

Chapter 19

1 WHEN the LORD your God has destroyed the nations whose land the LORD your God gives you, and you shall possess them and dwell in their cities, and in their houses;

2 You shall set apart for you three cities in the midst of your land which the LORD your God gives you as an inheritance.

3 You shall prepare for you a highway, and divide into three parts the land which the LORD your God gives you to inherit, that any slayer may flee thither.

4 And this is the law in the case of the slayer who kills his neighbor and flees there that he may live, whosoever kills his neighbor unintentionally, whom he hated not in time past;

5 And when a man goes into the forest with his neighbor to cut wood, and as he lifts up his hand with the axe to cut down a tree, the iron head slips from the helve and strikes his neighbor so that he dies; he shall flee to one of these cities, and live;

6 Lest the avenger of the blood pursue the slayer, while his anger is hot, and overtake him, because the way is long, and slay him; though he was not worthy of death, because he hated him not in time past.

7 Therefore I command you, saying, You shall set apart three cities for you.

8 And when the LORD your God shall enlarge your territory, as he has sworn to your fathers, and gives you all the land which he promised to give to your fathers;

9 If you shall keep all these commandments to do them, which I command you this day, to love the LORD your God, and to walk in his ways always; then you shall add three cities more for you besides these three;

10 That innocent blood may not be shed in the land which the LORD your God gives you, and that the guilt of innocent blood not be upon you.

11 But if any man hate his neighbor, and lie in wait for him, and attack him, and smite him mortally so that he dies, and he flees to one of these cities;

12 Then the elders of his city shall send and fetch him from there, and deliver him into the hand of the avenger of blood, and he shall slay him.

13 Your eyes shall not pity him, but you shall kill him, and thus purge the guilt of innocent blood from Israel, that it may go well with you.

14 You shall not remove your neighbor's landmark, which they of old time have set in your inheritance, which you shall inherit in the land that the LORD your God gives you to possess.

15 A single witness shall not rise up against a man for any offense, or for any crime, in whatever offense or crime he may commit; on the testimony of two witnesses, or on the testimony of three witnesses, shall a charge be established.

16 If a false witness rise up against any man, and testify against him that which is wrong;

17 Then both the men between whom the controversy is, shall stand before the LORD, before the priests and the judges who shall be in those days;

18 And the judges shall investigate the case diligently; and, behold, if the witness has deliberately testified falsely against his brother;

19 Then you shall do to him as he had thought to do to his brother; so shall you put the evil away from among you.

20 And those who remain shall hear, and fear, and shall never again commit any such an evil thing among you.

21 And your eye shall not pity; but life shall be for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.

Chapter 19

1 When3588 the LORD3068 thy God430 hath cut off3772 853 the nations,1471 whose834 853 land776 the LORD3068 thy God430 giveth5414 thee, and thou succeedest3423 them, and dwellest3427 in their cities,5892 and in their houses;1004

2 Thou shalt separate914 three7969 cities5892 for thee in the midst8432 of thy land,776 which834 the LORD3068 thy God430 giveth5414 thee to possess3423 it.

3 Thou shalt prepare3559 thee a way,1870 and divide8027 853 the coasts1366 of thy land,776 which834 the LORD3068 thy God430 giveth thee to inherit,5157 into three parts, that every3605 slayer7523 may1961 flee5127 thither.8033

4 And this2088 is the case1697 of the slayer,7523 which834 shall flee5127 thither,8033 that he may live:2425 Whoso834 killeth5221 853 his neighbor7453 ignorantly,1907 1947 whom he1931 hated8130 not3808 in time8032 past;4480 8657

5 As when a man834 goeth935 into the wood3293 with854 his neighbor7453 to hew2404 wood,6086 and his hand3027 fetcheth a stroke5080 with the axe1631 to cut down3772 the tree,6086 and the head1270 slippeth5394 from4480 the helve,6086 and lighteth upon4672 853 his neighbor,7453 that he die;4191 he1931 shall flee5127 unto413 one259 of those428 cities,5892 and live: 2425

6 Lest6435 the avenger1350 of the blood1818 pursue7291 310 the slayer,7523 while3588 his heart3824 is hot,3179 and overtake5381 him, because3588 the way1870 is long,7235 and slay5221 him;5315 whereas he was not369 worthy of death,4941 4194 inasmuch as3588 he1931 hated8130 him not3808 in time8032 past.4480 8543

7 Wherefore5921 3651 I595 command6680 thee, saying,559 Thou shalt separate914 three7969 cities5892 for thee.

8 And if518 the LORD3068 thy God430 enlarge7337 853 thy coast,1366 as834 he hath sworn7650 unto thy fathers,1 and give5414 thee853 all3605 the land776 which834 he promised1696 to give5414 unto thy fathers;1

9 If3588 thou shalt keep8104 853 all3605 these2063 commandments4687 to do6213 them, which834 I595 command6680 thee this day,3117 to love157 853 the LORD3068 thy God,430 and to walk1980 ever3605 3117 in his ways;1870 then shalt thou add3254 three7969 cities5892 more5750 for thee, beside5921 these428 three: 7969

10 That innocent5355 blood1818 be not3808 shed8210 in7130 thy land,776 which834 the LORD3068 thy God430 giveth5414 thee for an inheritance,5159 and so blood1818 be1961 upon5921 thee.

11 But if3588 any man376 hate1961 8130 his neighbor,7453 and lie in wait693 for him, and rise up6965 against5921 him, and smite5221 him mortally5315 that he die,4191 and fleeth5127 into413 one259 of these411 cities: 5892

12 Then the elders2205 of his city5892 shall send7971 and fetch3947 him thence,4480 8033 and deliver5414 him into the hand3027 of the avenger1350 of blood,1818 that he may die.4191

13 Thine eye5869 shall not3808 pity2347 5921 him, but thou shalt put away1197 the guilt of innocent5355 blood1818 from Israel,4480 3478 that it may go well2895 with thee.

14 Thou shalt not3808 remove5253 thy neighbor's7453 landmark,1366 which834 they of old time7223 have set1379 in thine inheritance,5159 which834 thou shalt inherit5157 in the land776 that834 the LORD3068 thy God430 giveth5414 thee to possess3423 it.

15 One259 witness5707 shall not3808 rise up6965 against a man376 for any3605 iniquity,5771 or for any3605 sin,2403 in any3605 sin2399 that834 he sinneth:2398 at5921 the mouth6310 of two8147 witnesses,5707 or176 at5921 the mouth6310 of three7969 witnesses,5707 shall the matter1697 be established.6965

16 If3588 a false2555 witness5707 rise up6965 against any man376 to testify6030 against him that which is wrong;5627

17 Then both8147 the men,376 between whom834 the controversy7379 is, shall stand5975 before6440 the LORD,3068 before6440 the priests3548 and the judges,8199 which834 shall be1961 in those1992 days;3117

18 And the judges8199 shall make diligent inquisition:1875 3190 and, behold,2009 if the witness5707 be a false8267 witness,5707 and hath testified6030 falsely8267 against his brother;251

19 Then shall ye do6213 unto him, as834 he had thought2161 to have done6213 unto his brother:251 so shalt thou put the evil away1197 7451 from among4480 7130 you.

20 And those which remain7604 shall hear,8085 and fear,3372 and shall henceforth3254 commit6213 no3808 more5750 any1697 such2088 evil7451 among7130 you.

21 And thine eye5869 shall not3808 pity;2347 but life5315 shall go for life,5315 eye5869 for eye,5869 tooth8127 for tooth,8127 hand3027 for hand,3027 foot7272 for foot.7272

Chapter 19

1 WHEN the LORD your God has destroyed the nations whose land the LORD your God gives you, and you shall possess them and dwell in their cities, and in their houses;

1 When3588 the LORD3068 thy God430 hath cut off3772 853 the nations,1471 whose834 853 land776 the LORD3068 thy God430 giveth5414 thee, and thou succeedest3423 them, and dwellest3427 in their cities,5892 and in their houses;1004

2 You shall set apart for you three cities in the midst of your land which the LORD your God gives you as an inheritance.

2 Thou shalt separate914 three7969 cities5892 for thee in the midst8432 of thy land,776 which834 the LORD3068 thy God430 giveth5414 thee to possess3423 it.

3 You shall prepare for you a highway, and divide into three parts the land which the LORD your God gives you to inherit, that any slayer may flee thither.

3 Thou shalt prepare3559 thee a way,1870 and divide8027 853 the coasts1366 of thy land,776 which834 the LORD3068 thy God430 giveth thee to inherit,5157 into three parts, that every3605 slayer7523 may1961 flee5127 thither.8033

4 And this is the law in the case of the slayer who kills his neighbor and flees there that he may live, whosoever kills his neighbor unintentionally, whom he hated not in time past;

4 And this2088 is the case1697 of the slayer,7523 which834 shall flee5127 thither,8033 that he may live:2425 Whoso834 killeth5221 853 his neighbor7453 ignorantly,1907 1947 whom he1931 hated8130 not3808 in time8032 past;4480 8657

5 And when a man goes into the forest with his neighbor to cut wood, and as he lifts up his hand with the axe to cut down a tree, the iron head slips from the helve and strikes his neighbor so that he dies; he shall flee to one of these cities, and live;

5 As when a man834 goeth935 into the wood3293 with854 his neighbor7453 to hew2404 wood,6086 and his hand3027 fetcheth a stroke5080 with the axe1631 to cut down3772 the tree,6086 and the head1270 slippeth5394 from4480 the helve,6086 and lighteth upon4672 853 his neighbor,7453 that he die;4191 he1931 shall flee5127 unto413 one259 of those428 cities,5892 and live: 2425

6 Lest the avenger of the blood pursue the slayer, while his anger is hot, and overtake him, because the way is long, and slay him; though he was not worthy of death, because he hated him not in time past.

6 Lest6435 the avenger1350 of the blood1818 pursue7291 310 the slayer,7523 while3588 his heart3824 is hot,3179 and overtake5381 him, because3588 the way1870 is long,7235 and slay5221 him;5315 whereas he was not369 worthy of death,4941 4194 inasmuch as3588 he1931 hated8130 him not3808 in time8032 past.4480 8543

7 Therefore I command you, saying, You shall set apart three cities for you.

7 Wherefore5921 3651 I595 command6680 thee, saying,559 Thou shalt separate914 three7969 cities5892 for thee.

8 And when the LORD your God shall enlarge your territory, as he has sworn to your fathers, and gives you all the land which he promised to give to your fathers;

8 And if518 the LORD3068 thy God430 enlarge7337 853 thy coast,1366 as834 he hath sworn7650 unto thy fathers,1 and give5414 thee853 all3605 the land776 which834 he promised1696 to give5414 unto thy fathers;1

9 If you shall keep all these commandments to do them, which I command you this day, to love the LORD your God, and to walk in his ways always; then you shall add three cities more for you besides these three;

9 If3588 thou shalt keep8104 853 all3605 these2063 commandments4687 to do6213 them, which834 I595 command6680 thee this day,3117 to love157 853 the LORD3068 thy God,430 and to walk1980 ever3605 3117 in his ways;1870 then shalt thou add3254 three7969 cities5892 more5750 for thee, beside5921 these428 three: 7969

10 That innocent blood may not be shed in the land which the LORD your God gives you, and that the guilt of innocent blood not be upon you.

10 That innocent5355 blood1818 be not3808 shed8210 in7130 thy land,776 which834 the LORD3068 thy God430 giveth5414 thee for an inheritance,5159 and so blood1818 be1961 upon5921 thee.

11 But if any man hate his neighbor, and lie in wait for him, and attack him, and smite him mortally so that he dies, and he flees to one of these cities;

11 But if3588 any man376 hate1961 8130 his neighbor,7453 and lie in wait693 for him, and rise up6965 against5921 him, and smite5221 him mortally5315 that he die,4191 and fleeth5127 into413 one259 of these411 cities: 5892

12 Then the elders of his city shall send and fetch him from there, and deliver him into the hand of the avenger of blood, and he shall slay him.

12 Then the elders2205 of his city5892 shall send7971 and fetch3947 him thence,4480 8033 and deliver5414 him into the hand3027 of the avenger1350 of blood,1818 that he may die.4191

13 Your eyes shall not pity him, but you shall kill him, and thus purge the guilt of innocent blood from Israel, that it may go well with you.

13 Thine eye5869 shall not3808 pity2347 5921 him, but thou shalt put away1197 the guilt of innocent5355 blood1818 from Israel,4480 3478 that it may go well2895 with thee.

14 You shall not remove your neighbor's landmark, which they of old time have set in your inheritance, which you shall inherit in the land that the LORD your God gives you to possess.

14 Thou shalt not3808 remove5253 thy neighbor's7453 landmark,1366 which834 they of old time7223 have set1379 in thine inheritance,5159 which834 thou shalt inherit5157 in the land776 that834 the LORD3068 thy God430 giveth5414 thee to possess3423 it.

15 A single witness shall not rise up against a man for any offense, or for any crime, in whatever offense or crime he may commit; on the testimony of two witnesses, or on the testimony of three witnesses, shall a charge be established.

15 One259 witness5707 shall not3808 rise up6965 against a man376 for any3605 iniquity,5771 or for any3605 sin,2403 in any3605 sin2399 that834 he sinneth:2398 at5921 the mouth6310 of two8147 witnesses,5707 or176 at5921 the mouth6310 of three7969 witnesses,5707 shall the matter1697 be established.6965

16 If a false witness rise up against any man, and testify against him that which is wrong;

16 If3588 a false2555 witness5707 rise up6965 against any man376 to testify6030 against him that which is wrong;5627

17 Then both the men between whom the controversy is, shall stand before the LORD, before the priests and the judges who shall be in those days;

17 Then both8147 the men,376 between whom834 the controversy7379 is, shall stand5975 before6440 the LORD,3068 before6440 the priests3548 and the judges,8199 which834 shall be1961 in those1992 days;3117

18 And the judges shall investigate the case diligently; and, behold, if the witness has deliberately testified falsely against his brother;

18 And the judges8199 shall make diligent inquisition:1875 3190 and, behold,2009 if the witness5707 be a false8267 witness,5707 and hath testified6030 falsely8267 against his brother;251

19 Then you shall do to him as he had thought to do to his brother; so shall you put the evil away from among you.

19 Then shall ye do6213 unto him, as834 he had thought2161 to have done6213 unto his brother:251 so shalt thou put the evil away1197 7451 from among4480 7130 you.

20 And those who remain shall hear, and fear, and shall never again commit any such an evil thing among you.

20 And those which remain7604 shall hear,8085 and fear,3372 and shall henceforth3254 commit6213 no3808 more5750 any1697 such2088 evil7451 among7130 you.

21 And your eye shall not pity; but life shall be for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.

21 And thine eye5869 shall not3808 pity;2347 but life5315 shall go for life,5315 eye5869 for eye,5869 tooth8127 for tooth,8127 hand3027 for hand,3027 foot7272 for foot.7272
