19:1 When the LORD 3068 thy God 430 hath cut off 3772 8686 the nations 1471, whose land 776 the LORD 3068 thy God 430 giveth 5414 8802 thee, and thou succeedest 3423 8804 them, and dwellest 3427 8804 in their cities 5892, and in their houses 1004;(succeedest: Heb. inheritest, or, possessest)

19:2 Thou shalt separate 914 8686 three 7969 cities 5892 for thee in the midst 8432 of thy land 776, which the LORD 3068 thy God 430 giveth 5414 8802 thee to possess 3423 8800 it.

19:3 Thou shalt prepare 3559 8686 thee a way 1870, and divide the coasts 1366 of thy land 776, which the LORD 3068 thy God 430 giveth thee to inherit 5157 8686, into three parts 8027 8765, that every slayer 7523 8802 may flee 5127 8800 thither.

19:4 And this [is] the case 1697 of the slayer 7523 8802, which shall flee 5127 8799 thither, that he may live 2425 8804: Whoso killeth 5221 8686 his neighbour 7453 ignorantly 1097 1847, whom he hated 8130 8802 not in time 8543 past 8032;(in…: Heb. from yesterday the third day)

19:5 As when a man goeth 935 8799 into the wood 3293 with his neighbour 7453 to hew 2404 8800 wood 6086, and his hand 3027 fetcheth a stroke 5080 8738 with the axe 1631 to cut down 3772 8800 the tree 6086, and the head 1270 slippeth 5394 8804 from the helve 6086, and lighteth 4672 8804 upon his neighbour 7453, that he die 4191 8804; he shall flee 5127 8799 unto one 259 of those cities 5892, and live 2425 8804:(head: Heb. iron)(helve: Heb. wood)(lighteth…: Heb. findeth)

19:6 Lest the avenger 1350 8802 of the blood 1818 8676 pursue 7291 8799 the slayer 310 7523 8802, while 3588 his heart 3824 is hot 3179 8799, and overtake 5381 8689 him, because the way 1870 is long 7235 8799, and slay 5221 8689 him 5315; whereas he [was] not worthy 4941 of death 4194, inasmuch as 3588 he hated 8130 8802 him not in time 8543 past 8032.(slay…: Heb. smite him in life)(in…: Heb. from yesterday the third day)

19:7 Wherefore I command 6680 8764 thee, saying 559 8800, Thou shalt separate 914 8686 three 7969 cities 5892 for thee.

19:8 And if the LORD 3068 thy God 430 enlarge 7337 8686 thy coast 1366, as he hath sworn 7650 8738 unto thy fathers 1, and give 5414 8804 thee all the land 776 which he promised 1696 8765 to give 5414 8800 unto thy fathers 1;

19:9 If thou shalt keep 8104 8799 all these commandments 4687 to do 6213 8800 them, which I command 6680 8764 thee this day 3117, to love 157 8800 the LORD 3068 thy God 430, and to walk 3212 8800 ever 3117 in his ways 1870; then shalt thou add 3254 8804 three 7969 cities 5892 more for thee, beside these three 7969:

19:10 That innocent 5355 blood 1818 be not shed 8210 8735 in 7130 thy land 776, which the LORD 3068 thy God 430 giveth 5414 8802 thee [for] an inheritance 5159, and [so] blood 1818 be upon thee.

19:11 But if any man 376 hate 8130 8802 his neighbour 7453, and lie in wait 693 8804 for him, and rise up 6965 8804 against him, and smite 5221 8689 him mortally 5315 that he die 4191 8804, and fleeth 5127 8804 into one 259 of these 411 cities 5892:(mortally: Heb. in life)

19:12 Then the elders 2205 of his city 5892 shall send 7971 8804 and fetch 3947 8804 him thence, and deliver 5414 8804 him into the hand 3027 of the avenger 1350 8802 of blood 1818, that he may die 4191 8804.

19:13 Thine eye 5869 shall not pity 2347 8799 him, but thou shalt put away 1197 8765 [the guilt of] innocent 5355 blood 1818 from Israel 3478, that it may go well 2895 8804 with thee.

19:14 Thou shalt not remove 5253 8686 thy neighbour's 7453 landmark 1366, which they of old time 7223 have set 1379 8804 in thine inheritance 5159, which thou shalt inherit 5157 8799 in the land 776 that the LORD 3068 thy God 430 giveth 5414 8802 thee to possess 3423 8800 it.

19:15 One 259 witness 5707 shall not rise up 6965 8799 against a man 376 for any iniquity 5771, or for any sin 2403, in any sin 2399 that he sinneth 2398 8799: at the mouth 6310 of two 8147 witnesses 5707, or at the mouth 6310 of three 7969 witnesses 5707, shall the matter 1697 be established 6965 8799.

19:16 If a false 2555 witness 5707 rise up 6965 8799 against any man 376 to testify 6030 8800 against him [that which is] wrong 5627;(that…: or, falling away)

19:17 Then both 8147 the men 582, between whom the controversy 7379 [is], shall stand 5975 8804 before 6440 the LORD 3068, before 6440 the priests 3548 and the judges 8199 8802, which shall be in those days 3117;

19:18 And the judges 8199 8802 shall make diligent 3190 8687 inquisition 1875 8804: and, behold, [if] the witness 5707 [be] a false 8267 witness 5707, [and] hath testified 6030 8804 falsely 8267 against his brother 251;

19:19 Then shall ye do 6213 8804 unto him, as he had thought 2161 8804 to have done 6213 8800 unto his brother 251: so shalt thou put 1197 0 the evil 7451 away 1197 8765 from among 7130 you.

19:20 And those which remain 7604 8737 shall hear 8085 8799, and fear 3372 8799, and shall henceforth 3254 8686 commit 6213 8800 no more any 1697 such evil 7451 among 7130 you.

19:21 And thine eye 5869 shall not pity 2347 8799; [but] life 5315 [shall go] for life 5315, eye 5869 for eye 5869, tooth 8127 for tooth 8127, hand 3027 for hand 3027, foot 7272 for foot 7272.
