1 In the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho, the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
1 On the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho, the LORD said to Moses,
2 Command the Israelites to give, from the inheritance that they possess, towns for the Levites to live in; you shall also give to the Levites pasture lands surrounding the towns.
2 “Command the Israelites to give the Levites towns to live in from the inheritance the Israelites will possess. And give them pasturelands around the towns.
3 The towns shall be theirs to live in, and their pasture lands shall be for their cattle, for their livestock, and for all their animals.
3 Then they will have towns to live in and pasturelands for the cattle they own and all their other animals.
4 The pasture lands of the towns, which you shall give to the Levites, shall reach from the wall of the town outward a thousand cubits all around.
4 “The pasturelands around the towns that you give the Levites will extend a thousand cubits from the town wall.
5 You shall measure, outside the town, for the east side two thousand cubits, for the south side two thousand cubits, for the west side two thousand cubits, and for the north side two thousand cubits, with the town in the middle; this shall belong to them as pasture land for their towns.
5 Outside the town, measure two thousand cubits on the east side, two thousand on the south side, two thousand on the west and two thousand on the north, with the town in the center. They will have this area as pastureland for the towns.
6 The towns that you give to the Levites shall include the six cities of refuge, where you shall permit a slayer to flee, and in addition to them you shall give forty-two towns.
6 “Six of the towns you give the Levites will be cities of refuge, to which a person who has killed someone may flee. In addition, give them forty-two other towns.
7 The towns that you give to the Levites shall total forty-eight, with their pasture lands.
7 In all you must give the Levites forty-eight towns, together with their pasturelands.
8 And as for the towns that you shall give from the possession of the Israelites, from the larger tribes you shall take many, and from the smaller tribes you shall take few; each, in proportion to the inheritance that it obtains, shall give of its towns to the Levites.
8 The towns you give the Levites from the land the Israelites possess are to be given in proportion to the inheritance of each tribe: Take many towns from a tribe that has many, but few from one that has few.”
9 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
9 Then the LORD said to Moses:
10 Speak to the Israelites, and say to them: When you cross the Jordan into the land of Canaan,
10 “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘When you cross the Jordan into Canaan,
11 then you shall select cities to be cities of refuge for you, so that a slayer who kills a person without intent may flee there.
11 select some towns to be your cities of refuge, to which a person who has killed someone accidentally may flee.
12 The cities shall be for you a refuge from the avenger, so that the slayer may not die until there is a trial before the congregation.
12 They will be places of refuge from the avenger, so that anyone accused of murder may not die before they stand trial before the assembly.
13 The cities that you designate shall be six cities of refuge for you:
13 These six towns you give will be your cities of refuge.
14 you shall designate three cities beyond the Jordan, and three cities in the land of Canaan, to be cities of refuge.
14 Give three on this side of the Jordan and three in Canaan as cities of refuge.
15 These six cities shall serve as refuge for the Israelites, for the resident or transient alien among them, so that anyone who kills a person without intent may flee there.
15 These six towns will be a place of refuge for Israelites and for foreigners residing among them, so that anyone who has killed another accidentally can flee there.
16 But anyone who strikes another with an iron object, and death ensues, is a murderer; the murderer shall be put to death.
16 “ ‘If anyone strikes someone a fatal blow with an iron object, that person is a murderer; the murderer is to be put to death.
17 Or anyone who strikes another with a stone in hand that could cause death, and death ensues, is a murderer; the murderer shall be put to death.
17 Or if anyone is holding a stone and strikes someone a fatal blow with it, that person is a murderer; the murderer is to be put to death.
18 Or anyone who strikes another with a weapon of wood in hand that could cause death, and death ensues, is a murderer; the murderer shall be put to death.
18 Or if anyone is holding a wooden object and strikes someone a fatal blow with it, that person is a murderer; the murderer is to be put to death.
19 The avenger of blood is the one who shall put the murderer to death; when they meet, the avenger of blood shall execute the sentence.
19 The avenger of blood shall put the murderer to death; when the avenger comes upon the murderer, the avenger shall put the murderer to death.
20 Likewise, if someone pushes another from hatred, or hurls something at another, lying in wait, and death ensues,
20 If anyone with malice aforethought shoves another or throws something at them intentionally so that they die
21 or in enmity strikes another with the hand, and death ensues, then the one who struck the blow shall be put to death; that person is a murderer; the avenger of blood shall put the murderer to death, when they meet.
21 or if out of enmity one person hits another with their fist so that the other dies, that person is to be put to death; that person is a murderer. The avenger of blood shall put the murderer to death when they meet.
22 But if someone pushes another suddenly without enmity, or hurls any object without lying in wait,
22 “ ‘But if without enmity someone suddenly pushes another or throws something at them unintentionally
23 or, while handling any stone that could cause death, unintentionally drops it on another and death ensues, though they were not enemies, and no harm was intended,
23 or, without seeing them, drops on them a stone heavy enough to kill them, and they die, then since that other person was not an enemy and no harm was intended,
24 then the congregation shall judge between the slayer and the avenger of blood, in accordance with these ordinances;
24 the assembly must judge between the accused and the avenger of blood according to these regulations.
25 and the congregation shall rescue the slayer from the avenger of blood. Then the congregation shall send the slayer back to the original city of refuge. The slayer shall live in it until the death of the high priest who was anointed with the holy oil.
25 The assembly must protect the one accused of murder from the avenger of blood and send the accused back to the city of refuge to which they fled. The accused must stay there until the death of the high priest, who was anointed with the holy oil.
26 But if the slayer shall at any time go outside the bounds of the original city of refuge,
26 “ ‘But if the accused ever goes outside the limits of the city of refuge to which they fled
27 and is found by the avenger of blood outside the bounds of the city of refuge, and is killed by the avenger, no bloodguilt shall be incurred.
27 and the avenger of blood finds them outside the city, the avenger of blood may kill the accused without being guilty of murder.
28 For the slayer must remain in the city of refuge until the death of the high priest; but after the death of the high priest the slayer may return home.
28 The accused must stay in the city of refuge until the death of the high priest; only after the death of the high priest may they return to their own property.
29 These things shall be a statute and ordinance for you throughout your generations wherever you live.
29 “ ‘This is to have the force of law for you throughout the generations to come, wherever you live.
30 If anyone kills another, the murderer shall be put to death on the evidence of witnesses; but no one shall be put to death on the testimony of a single witness.
30 “ ‘Anyone who kills a person is to be put to death as a murderer only on the testimony of witnesses. But no one is to be put to death on the testimony of only one witness.
31 Moreover you shall accept no ransom for the life of a murderer who is subject to the death penalty; a murderer must be put to death.
31 “ ‘Do not accept a ransom for the life of a murderer, who deserves to die. They are to be put to death.
32 Nor shall you accept ransom for one who has fled to a city of refuge, enabling the fugitive to return to live in the land before the death of the high priest.
32 “ ‘Do not accept a ransom for anyone who has fled to a city of refuge and so allow them to go back and live on their own land before the death of the high priest.
33 You shall not pollute the land in which you live; for blood pollutes the land, and no expiation can be made for the land, for the blood that is shed in it, except by the blood of the one who shed it.
33 “ ‘Do not pollute the land where you are. Bloodshed pollutes the land, and atonement cannot be made for the land on which blood has been shed, except by the blood of the one who shed it.
34 You shall not defile the land in which you live, in which I also dwell; for I the Lord dwell among the Israelites.
34 Do not defile the land where you live and where I dwell, for I, the LORD, dwell among the Israelites.’ ”
