| Numbers 35:1 | And the Lord said to Moses in the lowlands of Moab by Jordan at Jericho, | And the Lord spoke these things also to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan, over against Jericho: | Yahweh spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho, saying, |
| 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 to the Levites out of their possessions, | Command the children of Israel that they give to the Levites of the inheritance of their possession cities to dwell in; and suburbs for the cities round about them shall you give to the Levites. |
| 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, | 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: | The cities shall they have to dwell in; and their suburbs shall be for their cattle, and for their substance, and for all their animals. |
| Numbers 35:4 | Stretching from the wall of the towns a distance of a thousand cubits all round. | Which suburbs shall reach from the walls of the cities outward, a thousand paces on every side: | The suburbs of the cities, which you shall give to the Levites, shall be from the wall of the city and outward one thousand cubits round about. |
| 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. | 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. | You shall measure outside of 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. |
| 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 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, | The cities which you shall give to the Levites, they shall be the six cities of refuge, which you shall give for the manslayer to flee to: and besides them you shall give forty-two cities. |
| Numbers 35:7 | Forty-eight towns are to be given to the Levites, all with land round them. | That is, in all forty-eight with their suburbs. | All the cities which you shall give to the Levites shall be forty-eight cities; them [shall you give] 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 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. | Concerning the cities which you shall give of the possession of the children of Israel, from the many you shall take many; and from the few you shall take few: everyone according to his inheritance which he inherits shall give of his cities to the Levites. |
| Numbers 35:9 | And the Lord said to Moses, | The Lord said to Moses: | Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, |
| Numbers 35:10 | Say to the children of Israel, when you have gone over 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, | Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, When you pass over the Jordan into the land of Canaan, |
| 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. | Determine what cities shall be for the refuge of fugitives, who have shed blood against their will. | then you shall appoint you cities to be cities of refuge for you, that the manslayer who kills any person unwittingly may flee there. |
| 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 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. | The cities shall be to you for refuge from the avenger, that the manslayer not die, until he stands before the congregation for judgment. |
| Numbers 35:13 | Six of the towns which you give will be such safe places; | And of those cities, that are separated for the refuge of fugitives, | The cities which you shall give shall be for you six cities of refuge. |
| Numbers 35:14 | Three on the other side of Jordan and three in the land of Canaan, to be safe places for flight. | Three shall be beyond the Jordan, and three in the land of Chanaan, | You shall give three cities beyond the Jordan, and three cities shall you give in the land of Canaan; they shall be cities of refuge. |
| 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. | 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. | For the children of Israel, and for the stranger and for the sojourner among them, shall these six cities be for refuge; that everyone who kills any person unwittingly may flee there. |
| 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. | If any man strike with iron, and he die that was struck : he shall be guilty of murder, and he himself shall die. | But if he struck him with an instrument of iron, so that he died, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death. |
| 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. | If he throw a stone, and he that is struck die: he shall be punished in the same manner. | If he struck 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. |
| 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. | If he that is struck with wood die: he shall be revenged by the blood of him that struck him. | Or if he struck 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. |
| 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 kinsman of him that was slain, shall kill the murderer: as soon as he apprehendeth him, he shall kill him. | The avenger of blood shall himself put the murderer to death: when he meets him, he shall put him to death. |
| 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; | If through hatred any one push a man, or fling any thing- at him with ill design: | If he thrust him of hatred, or hurled at him, lying in wait, so that he died, |
| 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 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. | or in enmity struck him with his hand, so that he died; he who struck him shall surely be put to death; he is a murderer: the avenger of blood shall put the murderer to death, when he meets 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 by chance medley, and without hatred, | But if he thrust him suddenly without enmity, or hurled on him anything without lying in wait, |
| 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: | And enmity, he do any of these things, | or with any stone, whereby a man may die, not seeing him, and cast it on him, so that he died, and he was not his enemy, neither sought his harm; |
| 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: | And this be proved in the hearing of the people, and the cause be debated between him that struck, and the next of kin: | then the congregation shall judge between the striker and the avenger of blood according to these ordinances; |
| 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. | 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. | 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, where he was fled: and he shall dwell therein until the death of the high priest, who was 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, | If the murderer be found without the limits of the cities that are appointed for the banished, | But if the manslayer shall at any time go beyond the border of his city of refuge, where he flees, |
| 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 be struck by him that is the avenger of blood: he shall not be guilty that killed him. | and the avenger of blood find him outside of the border of his city of refuge, and the avenger of blood kill the manslayer; he shall not be guilty of blood, |
| 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. | 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. | 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. |
| Numbers 35:29 | These rules are to be your guide in judging through all your generations wherever you may be living. | These things shall be perpetual, and for an ordinance in all your dwellings. | These things shall be for a statute [and] ordinance to you throughout your generations 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. | The murderer shall be punished by witnesses: none shall be condemned upon the evidence of one man. | Whoever kills any person, the murderer shall be slain at the mouth of witnesses: but one witness shall not testify against any person that he die. |
| 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. | 31You shall not take money of him that is guilty of blood, but he shall die forthwith. | Moreover you shall take no ransom for the life of a murderer who is guilty of death; but he shall surely be put to death. |
| 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. | The banished and fugitives before the death of the high priest may by no means return into their own cities. | You shall take no ransom for him who is fled to his city of refuge, that he may come again to dwell in the land, until the death of the priest. |
| 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. | 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. | So you shall not pollute the land in which you are: for blood, it pollutes the land; and no expiation can be made for the land for the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him who shed it. |
| 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 thus shall your possession he cleansed, myself abiding with you. For I am the Lord that dwell among the children of Israel. | You shall not defile the land which you inhabit, in the midst of which I dwell: for I, Yahweh, dwell in the midst of the children of Israel. |
