Deuteronomy 4:41-49

Complete Jewish Bible

(A: iii) ⁴¹ Then Moshe separated three cities on the east side of the Yarden, toward the sunrise, ⁴² to which a killer might flee, that is, someone who kills by mistake a person whom he did not previously hate, and upon fleeing to one of these cities might live there. ⁴³ The cities were Betzer in the desert, in the flatland, for the Re’uveni; Ramot in Gil‘ad for the Gadi; and Golan in Bashan for the M’nashi.

⁴⁴ This is the Torah which Moshe placed before the people of Isra’el — ⁴⁵ these are the instructions, laws and rulings which Moshe presented to the people of Isra’el after they had come out of Egypt — ⁴⁶ beyond the Yarden River, in the valley across from Beit-P‘or, in the land of Sichon king of the Emori, who lived at Heshbon, whom Moshe and the people of Isra’el defeated when they came out of Egypt; ⁴⁷ and they took possession of his land and the land of ‘Og king of Bashan, the two kings of the Emori, who were beyond the Yarden toward the sunrise; ⁴⁸ from ‘Aro‘er on the edge of the Arnon Valley to Mount Si’on,” that is, Mount Hermon, ⁴⁹ “with all the ‘Aravah beyond the Yarden eastward, all the way to the Dead Sea at the foot of the slopes of Pisgah.
