35:1 The
LORD
spoke
to
Moses
in
the
plains
of
Moab
by
the
Jordan
at
Jericho,
saying,
35:2 "Command
the
people
of
Israel
to
give
to
the
Levites
some
of
the
inheritance
of
their
possession
as
cities
for
them
to
dwell
in.
And
you
shall
give
to
the
Levites
pasturelands
around
the
cities.
35:3 The
cities
shall
be
theirs
to
dwell
in,
and
their
pasturelands
shall
be
for
their
cattle
and
for
their
livestock
and
for
all
their
beasts.
35:4 The
pasturelands
of
the
cities,
which
you
shall
give
to
the
Levites,
shall
reach
from
the
wall
of
the
city
outward
a
thousand
cubits
all
around.
35:5 And
you
shall
measure,
outside
the
city,
on
the
east
side
two
thousand
cubits,
and
on
the
south
side
two
thousand
cubits,
and
on
the
west
side
two
thousand
cubits,
and
on
the
north
side
two
thousand
cubits,
the
city
being
in
the
middle.
This
shall
belong
to
them
as
pastureland
for
their
cities.
35:6 "The
cities
that
you
give
to
the
Levites
shall
be
the
six
cities
of
refuge,
where
you
shall
permit
the
manslayer
to
flee,
and
in
addition
to
them
you
shall
give
forty-two
cities.
35:7 All
the
cities
that
you
give
to
the
Levites
shall
be
forty-eight,
with
their
pasturelands.
35:8 And
as
for
the
cities
that
you
shall
give
from
the
possession
of
the
people
of
Israel,
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
inherits,
shall
give
of
its
cities
to
the
Levites."
35:9 And
the
LORD
spoke
to
Moses,
saying,
35:10 "Speak
to
the
people
of
Israel
and
say
to
them,
When
you
cross
the
Jordan
into
the
land
of
Canaan,
35:11 then
you
shall
select
cities
to
be
cities
of
refuge
for
you,
that
the
manslayer
who
kills
any
person
without
intent
may
flee
there.
35:12 The
cities
shall
be
for
you
a
refuge
from
the
avenger,
that
the
manslayer
may
not
die
until
he
stands
before
the
congregation
for
judgment.
35:13 And
the
cities
that
you
give
shall
be
your
six
cities
of
refuge.
35:14 You
shall
give
three
cities
beyond
the
Jordan,
and
three
cities
in
the
land
of
Canaan,
to
be
cities
of
refuge.
35:15 These
six
cities
shall
be
for
refuge
for
the
people
of
Israel,
and
for
the
stranger
and
for
the
sojourner
among
them,
that
anyone
who
kills
any
person
without
intent
may
flee
there.
35:16 "But
if
he
struck
him
down
with
an
iron
object,
so
that
he
died,
he
is
a
murderer.
The
murderer
shall
be
put
to
death.
35:17 And
if
he
struck
him
down
with
a
stone
tool
that
could
cause
death,
and
he
died,
he
is
a
murderer.
The
murderer
shall
be
put
to
death.
35:18 Or
if
he
struck
him
down
with
a
wooden
tool
that
could
cause
death,
and
he
died,
he
is
a
murderer.
The
murderer
shall
be
put
to
death.
35:19 The
avenger
of
blood
shall
himself
put
the
murderer
to
death;
when
he
meets
him,
he
shall
put
him
to
death.
35:20 And
if
he
pushed
him
out
of
hatred
or
hurled
something
at
him,
lying
in
wait,
so
that
he
died,
35:21 or
in
enmity
struck
him
down
with
his
hand,
so
that
he
died,
then
he
who
struck
the
blow
shall
be
put
to
death.
He
is
a
murderer.
The
avenger
of
blood
shall
put
the
murderer
to
death
when
he
meets
him.
35:22 "But
if
he
pushed
him
suddenly
without
enmity,
or
hurled
anything
on
him
without
lying
in
wait
35:23 or
used
a
stone
that
could
cause
death,
and
without
seeing
him
dropped
it
on
him,
so
that
he
died,
though
he
was
not
his
enemy
and
did
not
seek
his
harm,
35:24 then
the
congregation
shall
judge
between
the
manslayer
and
the
avenger
of
blood,
in
accordance
with
these
rules.
35:25 And
the
congregation
shall
rescue
the
manslayer
from
the
hand
of
the
avenger
of
blood,
and
the
congregation
shall
restore
him
to
his
city
of
refuge
to
which
he
had
fled,
and
he
shall
live
in
it
until
the
death
of
the
high
priest
who
was
anointed
with
the
holy
oil.
35:26 But
if
the
manslayer
shall
at
any
time
go
beyond
the
boundaries
of
his
city
of
refuge
to
which
he
fled,
35:27 and
the
avenger
of
blood
finds
him
outside
the
boundaries
of
his
city
of
refuge,
and
the
avenger
of
blood
kills
the
manslayer,
he
shall
not
be
guilty
of
blood.
35:28 For
he
must
remain
in
his
city
of
refuge
until
the
death
of
the
high
priest,
but
after
the
death
of
the
high
priest
the
manslayer
may
return
to
the
land
of
his
possession.
35:29 And
these
things
shall
be
for
a
statute
and
rule
for
you
throughout
your
generations
in
all
your
dwelling
places.
35:30 "If
anyone
kills
a
person,
the
murderer
shall
be
put
to
death
on
the
evidence
of
witnesses.
But
no
person
shall
be
put
to
death
on
the
testimony
of
one
witness.
35:31 Moreover,
you
shall
accept
no
ransom
for
the
life
of
a
murderer,
who
is
guilty
of
death,
but
he
shall
be
put
to
death.
35:32 And
you
shall
accept
no
ransom
for
him
who
has
fled
to
his
city
of
refuge,
that
he
may
return
to
dwell
in
the
land
before
the
death
of
the
high
priest.
35:33 You
shall
not
pollute
the
land
in
which
you
live,
for
blood
pollutes
the
land,
and
no
atonement
can
be
made
for
the
land
for
the
blood
that
is
shed
in
it,
except
by
the
blood
of
the
one
who
shed
it.
35:34 You
shall
not
defile
the
land
in
which
you
live,
in
the
midst
of
which
I
dwell,
for
I
the
LORD
dwell
in
the
midst
of
the
people
of
Israel."
