| Numbers 35:1 | And the Lord said to Moses in the lowlands of Moab by Jordan at Jericho, | And Jehovah spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho, saying, | And the Lord spoke these things also to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan, over against Jericho: |
| Numbers 35:2 | Give orders to the children of Israel to give to the Levites, from the heritage which is theirs, towns for themselves, with land on the outskirts of the towns. | Command the children of Israel, that they give unto the Levites of the inheritance of their possession cities to dwell in; and suburbs for the cities round about them shall ye give unto the Levites. | Command the children of Israel that they give to the Levites out of their possessions, |
| Numbers 35:3 | These towns are to be their living-places, with land round them for their cattle and their food and all their beasts, | And the cities shall they have to dwell in; and their suburbs shall be for their cattle, and for their substance, and for all their beasts. | Cities to dwell in, and their suburbs round about: that they may abide in the towns, and the suburbs may be for their cattle and beasts: |
| Numbers 35:4 | Stretching from the wall of the towns a distance of a thousand cubits all round. | And the suburbs of the cities, which ye shall give unto the Levites, shall be from the wall of the city and outward a thousand cubits round about. | Which suburbs shall reach from the walls of the cities outward, a thousand paces on every side: |
| Numbers 35:5 | The measure of this space of land is to be two thousand cubits outside the town on the east, and two thousand cubits on the south and on the west and on the north, the town being in the middle. This space will be the outskirts of their towns. | And ye shall measure without the city for the east side two thousand cubits, and for the south side two thousand cubits, and for the west side two thousand cubits, and for the north side two thousand cubits, the city being in the midst. This shall be to them the suburbs of the cities. | Toward the east shall be two thousand cubits: and toward the south in like manner shall be two thousand cubits: toward the sea also, which looketh to the west, shall be the same extent: and the north side shall be bounded with the like limits. And the cities shall be in the midst, and the suburbs without. |
| Numbers 35:6 | And the towns which you give the Levites are to be the six safe places to which the taker of life may go in flight; and in addition you are to give them forty-two towns. | And the cities which ye shall give unto the Levites, they shall be the six cities of refuge, which ye shall give for the manslayer to flee unto: and besides them ye shall give forty and two cities. | And among the cities, which you shall give to the Levites, six shall be separated for refuge to fugitives, that he who hath shed blood may flee to them: and besides these there shall be other forty-two cities, |
| Numbers 35:7 | Forty-eight towns are to be given to the Levites, all with land round them. | All the cities which ye shall give to the Levites shall be forty and eight cities; them [shall ye give] with their suburbs. | That is, in all forty-eight with their suburbs. |
| Numbers 35:8 | And these towns are to be given out of the heritage of the children of Israel, taking the greater number from those who have much, and a smaller number from those who have little: everyone, in the measure of his heritage, is to give of his property to the Levites. | And concerning the cities which ye shall give of the possession of the children of Israel, from the many ye shall take many; and from the few ye shall take few: every one according to his inheritance which he inheriteth shall give of his cities unto the Levites. | And of these cities which shall be given out of the possessions of the children of Israel, from them that have more, more shall be taken: and from them that have less, fewer. Each shall give towns to the Levites according to the extent of their inheritance. |
| Numbers 35:9 | And the Lord said to Moses, | And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, | The Lord said to Moses: |
| Numbers 35:10 | Say to the children of Israel, when you have gone over Jordan into the land of Canaan; | Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye pass over the Jordan into the land of Canaan, | Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: When you shall have passed over the Jordan into the land of Chanaan, |
| Numbers 35:11 | Then let certain towns be marked out as safe places to which anyone who takes the life of another in error may go in flight. | then ye shall appoint you cities to be cities of refuge for you, that the manslayer that killeth any person unwittingly may flee thither. | Determine what cities shall be for the refuge of fugitives, who have shed blood against their will. |
| Numbers 35:12 | In these towns you may be safe from him who has the right of punishment; so that death may not overtake the taker of life till he has been judged by the meeting of the people. | And the cities shall be unto you for refuge from the avenger, that the manslayer die not, until he stand before the congregation for judgment. | And when the fugitive shall be in them, the kinsman of him that is slain may not have power to kill him, until he stand before the multitude, and his cause be judged. |
| Numbers 35:13 | Six of the towns which you give will be such safe places; | And the cities which ye shall give shall be for you six cities of refuge. | And of those cities, that are separated for the refuge of fugitives, |
| Numbers 35:14 | Three on the other side of Jordan and three in the land of Canaan, to be safe places for flight. | Ye shall give three cities beyond the Jordan, and three cities shall ye give in the land of Canaan; they shall be cities of refuge. | Three shall be beyond the Jordan, and three in the land of Chanaan, |
| Numbers 35:15 | For the children of Israel and for the man from another country who is living among them, these six towns are to be safe places, where anyone causing the death of another through error may go in flight. | For the children of Israel, and for the stranger and for the sojourner among them, shall these six cities be for refuge; that every one that killeth any person unwittingly may flee thither. | As well for the children of Israel as for strangers and sojourners, that he may flee to them, who hath shed blood against his will. |
| Numbers 35:16 | But if a man gives another man a blow with an iron instrument, causing his death, he is a taker of life and is certainly to be put to death. | But if he smote him with an instrument of iron, so that he died, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death. | If any man strike with iron, and he die that was struck : he shall be guilty of murder, and he himself shall die. |
| Numbers 35:17 | Or if he gives him a blow with a stone in his hand, causing his death, he is a taker of life and is certainly to be put to death. | And if he smote him with a stone in the hand, whereby a man may die, and he died, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death. | If he throw a stone, and he that is struck die: he shall be punished in the same manner. |
| Numbers 35:18 | Or if he gave him blows with a wood instrument in his hands, causing his death, he is a taker of life and is certainly to be put to death. | Or if he smote him with a weapon of wood in the hand, whereby a man may die, and he died, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death. | If he that is struck with wood die: he shall be revenged by the blood of him that struck him. |
| Numbers 35:19 | He whose right it is to give punishment for blood, may himself put to death the taker of life when he comes face to face with him. | The avenger of blood shall himself put the murderer to death: when he meeteth him, he shall put him to death. | The kinsman of him that was slain, shall kill the murderer: as soon as he apprehendeth him, he shall kill him. |
| Numbers 35:20 | If in his hate he put a sword through him, or waiting secretly for him sent a spear or stone at him, causing his death; | And if he thrust him of hatred, or hurled at him, lying in wait, so that he died, | If through hatred any one push a man, or fling any thing- at him with ill design: |
| Numbers 35:21 | Or in hate gave him blows with his hand, causing death; he who gave the death-blow is to be put to death; he is a taker of life: he whose right it is to give punishment for blood may put to death the taker of life when he comes face to face with him. | or in enmity smote him with his hand, so that he died; he that smote him shall surely be put to death; he is a murderer: the avenger of blood shall put the murderer to death, when he meeteth him. | Or being his enemy, strike; him with his hand, and he die: the striker shall be guilty of murder: the kinsman of him that was slain as soon as he findeth him, shall kill him. |
| Numbers 35:22 | But if a man has given a wound to another suddenly and not in hate, or without design has sent something against him, | But if he thrust him suddenly without enmity, or hurled upon him anything without lying in wait, | But if by chance medley, and without hatred, |
| Numbers 35:23 | Or has given him a blow with a stone, without seeing him, so causing his death, though he had nothing against him and no desire to do him evil: | or with any stone, whereby a man may die, seeing him not, and cast it upon him, so that he died, and he was not his enemy, neither sought his harm; | And enmity, he do any of these things, |
| Numbers 35:24 | Then let the meeting of the people be judge between the man responsible for the death and him who has the right of punishment for blood, acting by these rules: | then the congregation shall judge between the smiter and the avenger of blood according to these ordinances; | And this be proved in the hearing of the people, and the cause be debated between him that struck, and the next of kin: |
| Numbers 35:25 | And let the people keep the man responsible for the death safe from the hands of him who has the right of punishment for blood, and send him back to his safe town where he had gone in flight: there let him be till the death of the high priest who was marked with the holy oil. | and the congregation shall deliver the manslayer out of the hand of the avenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore him to his city of refuge, whither he was fled: and he shall dwell therein until the death of the high priest, who was anointed with the holy oil. | The innocent shall be delivered from the hand of the revenger, and shall be brought back by sentence into the city, to which he had fled, and he shall abide there until the death of the high priest, that is anointed with the holy oil. |
| Numbers 35:26 | But if ever he goes outside the walls of the safe town where he had gone in flight, | But if the manslayer shall at any time go beyond the border of his city of refuge, whither he fleeth, | If the murderer be found without the limits of the cities that are appointed for the banished, |
| Numbers 35:27 | And the giver of punishment, meeting him outside the walls of the town, puts him to death, he will not be responsible for his blood: | and the avenger of blood find him without the border of his city of refuge, and the avenger of blood slay the manslayer; he shall not be guilty of blood, | And be struck by him that is the avenger of blood: he shall not be guilty that killed him. |
| Numbers 35:28 | Because he had been ordered to keep inside the safe town till the death of the high priest: but after the death of the high priest the taker of life may come back to the place of his heritage. | because he should have remained in his city of refuge until the death of the high priest: but after the death of the high priest the manslayer shall return into the land of his possession. | For the fugitive ought to have stayed in the city until the death of the high priest: and after he is dead, then shall the manslayer return to his own country. |
| Numbers 35:29 | These rules are to be your guide in judging through all your generations wherever you may be living. | And these things shall be for a statute [and] ordinance unto you throughout your generations in all your dwellings. | These things shall be perpetual, and for an ordinance in all your dwellings. |
| Numbers 35:30 | Anyone causing the death of another is himself to be put to death on the word of witnesses: but the word of one witness is not enough. | Whoso killeth any person, the murderer shall be slain at the mouth of witnesses: but one witness shall not testify against any person that he die. | The murderer shall be punished by witnesses: none shall be condemned upon the evidence of one man. |
| Numbers 35:31 | Further, no price may be given for the life of one who has taken life and whose right reward is death: he is certainly to be put to death. | Moreover ye shall take no ransom for the life of a murderer, that is guilty of death; but he shall surely be put to death. | 31You shall not take money of him that is guilty of blood, but he shall die forthwith. |
| Numbers 35:32 | And no price may be offered for one who has gone in flight to a safe town, for the purpose of letting him come back to his place before the death of the high priest. | And ye shall take no ransom for him that is fled to his city of refuge, that he may come again to dwell in the land, until the death of the priest. | The banished and fugitives before the death of the high priest may by no means return into their own cities. |
| Numbers 35:33 | So do not make the land where you are living unholy: for blood makes the land unholy: and there is no way of making the land free from the blood which has come on it, but only by the death of him who was the cause of it. | So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye are: for blood, it polluteth the land; and no expiation can be made for the land for the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it. | Defile not the land of your habitation, which is stained with the blood of the innocent: neither can it otherwise be expiated, but by his blood that hath shed the blood of another. |
| Numbers 35:34 | Do not make unclean the land where you are living and in which is my House: for I the Lord am present among the children of Israel. | And thou shalt not defile the land which ye inhabit, in the midst of which I dwell: for I, Jehovah, dwell in the midst of the children of Israel. | And thus shall your possession he cleansed, myself abiding with you. For I am the Lord that dwell among the children of Israel. |
