Chap. XXXV.
Cities and suburbes are appointed for the Leuites, among the other tribes. 6.
Of which six shal be for refuge of such as vnwittingly kil anie man, 22.
where, keping them selues til the death of the high Priest, they shal be
safe. 30. VVitful murtherers conuicted (so it be by more then one witnes)
must die forthwith.
1 These thinges also spake our Lord to Moyses in the
champion countries of Moab vpon Iordan, against Iericho:
2 Command the children of Israel that they geue
vnto the Leuites of their possessions
3 cities to dwel in,
and their suburbes round about: that them selues may abide
in the townes, and the suburbes may be for their cattel and
beastes:
4 which from the walles of the cities outward,
-- --
Cities for Leuites and of refuge.
round about, shal reach the space of a thousand paces.
5 Toward the East shal be two thousand cubites: and toward
the South in like manner shal be two thousand: toward
the sea also, which looketh to the West, shal be the same measure:
and the North part shal be limitted with equal boundes.
And the cities shal be in the middes, and the suburbes
without.
6 And of the same townes, which you shal geue
to the Leuites, six shal be separated for the ayde of fugitiues,
that he may flee to them which hath shed bloud: and beside
these other fourtie two townes,
7 that is, in al fourtie eight
with their suburbes.
8 And those cities, that shal be geuen
of the possessions of the children of Israel, from them that
haue more, moe shal be taken away: and that haue lesse, fewer.
Eache shal geue townes to the Leuites according to the
measure of their inheritance.
9 Our Lord said to Moyses:
10 Speake to the children of Israel, & thou shalt say to them:
When you shal haue passed ouer Iordan into the Land of
Chanaan,
11 determine what cities shal be for the succour
of fugitiues, that haue not voluntaryly shed bloud:
12 in
which when the fugitiue shal be, the kinseman of him that
is killed can not kil him, vntil he stand in the sight of the
multitude, and his cause be iudged.
13 And of those cities,
that are separated for refuge of the fugitiues,
14 three shal
be beyond Iordan, and three in the Land of Chanaan,
15 as
wel for the children of Israel as for strangers and soiouners,
that he may flee to them, which hath not voluntaryly shed
bloud.
16 If any man strike with yron, and he die that was
strooken, he shal be guiltie of murder, and him self shal die.
17 If he cast a stone, and he that is strooken die: he shal be
punished in like manner.
18 If he that is strooken with wood
die, he shal be reuenged by the strikers bloud.
19 The kinsman
of him that is slaine, shal kil the murderer, note as sowne
as he apprehendeth him, he shal kil him.
20 If through hatred
one push a man, or cast any thing at him by stratageme:
21 or being his enemie, strike him with his hand, and he die:
the striker shal be guiltie of murder. the kinseman of him
that is slaine as sowne as he findeth him, shal kil him.
22 But
if by chance medlie, and without hatred,
23 and enemitie, he
do any of these thinges,
24 and this be proued in the hearing
of the people, and the question debated betwen him that
stroke, & the next of bloud:
25 the innocent shal be deliuered
-- --
Mariages within the same tribes.
from the hand of the reuenger, & by sentence shal be brought
backe into the citie, to which he had fled, and he shal tarie
there, note vntil the High priest, that is anointed with the holie
oile, do die.
26 If the murderer be found without the limites
of the cities, that are deputed to the banished,
27 and be strooken
of him that is the reuenger of bloud: he shal be guiltles
that killed him.
28 For the fugitiue ought to haue stayed in
the citie vntil the death of the High priest. And after he is
dead, then shal the murderer returne into his countrie.
29 These thinges shal be perpetual, and for an ordinance in al
your habitations.
30 The murderer shal be punished by witnesses:
none shal be condemned, at the testimonie of one man.
31 You shal not take a price of him, that is guiltie of bloud,
he also shal die forthwith.
32 The banished and fugitiues
before the death of the High priest may by no meanes returne
into their owne cities.
33 Pollute not the land of your
habitation, which is polluted with the bloud of innocentes:
neither can it otherwise be expiated, but by his bloud, that
shedeth an other mans bloud.
34 And so shal your possession
be cleansed my self abyding with you. For I am the Lord that
dwel among the children of Israel.
