• Deut 19:1-9 : 1 When the LORD your God has cut off the nations whose land the LORD your God gives you, and you succeed them and dwell in their cities and houses; 2 You shall set apart three cities for yourself in the midst of your land, which the LORD your God gives you to possess. 3 You shall prepare a road for yourself, and divide the territory of your land, which the LORD your God gives you to inherit, into three parts, so that every manslayer may flee there. 4 And this is the case of the manslayer who shall flee there, that he may live: Whoever kills his neighbor unintentionally, whom he did not hate in time past; 5 As when a man goes into the forest with his neighbor to cut wood, and his hand swings the axe to cut down the tree, and the head slips from the handle and strikes his neighbor so that he dies, he shall flee to one of those cities and live: 6 Lest the avenger of blood pursue the manslayer while his heart is hot and overtake him, because the way is long, and kill him; though he was not worthy of death, since he did not hate him in time past. 7 Therefore I command you, saying, You shall set apart three cities for yourself. 8 And if the LORD your God enlarges your border, as He has sworn to your fathers, and gives you all the land which He promised to give to your fathers; 9 If you keep all these commandments to do them, which I command you today, to love the LORD your God, and to walk always in His ways, then you shall add three more cities for yourself, besides these three; 10 That innocent blood may not be shed in your land, which the LORD your God gives you as an inheritance, and thus blood guilt be upon you. 11 But if any man hates his neighbor, and lies in wait for him, and rises against him, and strikes him mortally so that he dies, and flees into one of these cities; 12 Then the elders of his city shall send and take him from there, and deliver him into the hand of the avenger of blood, so that he may die. 13 Your eye shall not pity him, but you shall remove the guilt of innocent blood from Israel, that it may go well with you.
