05_DEU_19_01 when the LORD thy God hath cut off the nations, whose land the LORD thy God giveth thee, And thou succeedest them, And dwellest in their cities, And in their houses;
05_DEU_19_02 thou shalt separate three cities for thee in the midst of thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it.
05_DEU_19_03 thou shalt prepare thee A way, And divide the coasts of thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee to inherit, into three parts, that every slayer may flee thither.
05_DEU_19_04 And this [ Is] the case of the slayer, which shall flee thither, that he may live: whoso killeth his neighbour ignorantly, whom he hated not in time past;
05_DEU_19_05 as when A man goeth into the wood with his neighbour to Hew wood, And his hand fetcheth A stroke with the ax to cut down the tree, And the head slippeth from the helve, And lighteth upon his neighbour, that he die; he shall flee unto one of those cities, And live:
05_DEU_19_06 lest the avenger of the blood pursue the slayer, while his heart Is hot, And overtake him, because the way Is long, And slay him; whereas he [ was] not worthy of death, inasmuch as he hated him not in time past.
05_DEU_19_07 Wherefore I command thee, saying, thou shalt separate three cities for thee.
05_DEU_19_08 And if the LORD thy God enlarge thy coast, as he hath sworn unto thy fathers, And give thee all the land which he promised to give unto thy fathers;
05_DEU_19_09 if thou shalt keep all These commandments to do them, which I command thee this day, to love the LORD thy God, And to walk ever in his ways; Then shalt thou add three cities more for thee, beside These three:
05_DEU_19_10 that innocent blood be not shed in thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee [ for] an inheritance, And [ So] blood be upon thee.
05_DEU_19_11 but if any man hate his neighbour, And Lie in wait for him, And rise up against him, And smite him mortally that he die, And fleeth into one of These cities:
05_DEU_19_12 Then the elders of his city shall send And fetch him thence, And deliver him into the hand of the avenger of blood, that he may die.
05_DEU_19_13 thine eye shall not pity him, but thou shalt put away [ the guilt of] innocent blood from Israel, that it may go Well with thee.
05_DEU_19_14 thou shalt not remove thy neighbour's landmark, which they of old time have set in thine inheritance, which thou shalt inherit in the land that the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it.
05_DEU_19_15 one witness shall not rise up against A man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established.
05_DEU_19_16 if A false witness rise up against any man to testify against him [ that which Is] wrong;
05_DEU_19_17 Then Both the men, between whom the controversy [ Is], shall stand before the LORD, before the priests And the judges, which shall be in those days;
05_DEU_19_18 And the judges shall make diligent inquisition: And, behold, [ if] the witness [ be] A false witness, [ And] hath testified falsely against his brother;
05_DEU_19_19 Then shall ye do unto him, as he had thought to have done unto his brother: So shalt thou put the evil away from among you.
05_DEU_19_20 And those which remain shall hear, And Fear, And shall henceforth commit no more any such evil among you.
05_DEU_19_21 And thine eye shall not pity; [ but] life [ shall go] for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
