Cetăţile leviţilor
35 Domnul i-a vorbit lui Moise în câmpiile Moabului, lângă Iordan, în faţa Ierihonului: 2 „Porunceşte-le israeliţilor să dea leviţilor, din moştenirea pe care o vor avea, nişte cetăţi în care să poată locui. Să le mai dea şi păşuni în jurul acestor cetăţi. 3 Cetăţile să fie ale lor, ca să locuiască în ele, iar păşunile să fie pentru vitele, turmele şi celelalte animale ale lor.
4 Păşunile din jurul cetăţilor pe care le veţi da leviţilor să aibă, începând de la zidul exterior al cetăţii, o mie de coţi[a] de jur-împrejur. 5 În afara cetăţii să număraţi două mii de coţi[b] în partea de răsărit, două mii de coţi în partea de apus, două mii de coţi în partea de nord şi două mii de coţi în partea de sud, astfel încât cetatea să fie în mijloc. Acestea să fie păşunile lor din jurul cetăţilor lor.
6 Şase din cetăţile pe care le veţi da leviţilor să fie cetăţi de refugiu, în care să poată fugi ucigaşul. Pe lângă acestea să le mai daţi patruzeci şi două de cetăţi. 7 Astfel, toate cetăţile pe care trebuie să le daţi leviţilor să fie în număr de patruzeci şi opt, împreună cu păşunile din jurul lor.
8 Cetăţile pe care le veţi oferi din moştenirea israeliţilor, să fie date astfel: cei ce au multe cetăţi să dea mai multe şi cei ce au puţine cetăţi să dea mai puţine; fiecare seminţie să dea leviţilor din cetăţile ei, ţinând cont de moştenirea pe care a primit-o.“
Cetăţile de refugiu
9 Domnul i-a mai zis lui Moise: 10 „Vorbeşte-le israeliţilor şi spune-le: «Când veţi trece Iordanul în Canaan, 11 să alegeţi câteva cetăţi care să fie locuri de refugiu, unde să poată fugi ucigaşul care a omorât fără voie o persoană. 12 Aceste cetăţi vor fi locuri de refugiu dinaintea răzbunătorului, astfel încât ucigaşul să nu fie omorât înainte de a se înfăţişa în faţa adunării pentru a fi judecat. 13 Din cetăţile pe care le veţi da, şase să fie cetăţi de refugiu. 14 Trei să le daţi de partea aceasta a Iordanului şi trei în Canaan, ca cetăţi de refugiu. 15 Aceste şase cetăţi să fie locuri de refugiu pentru israeliţi, pentru străini şi pentru peregrinii din mijlocul vostru, pentru ca orice ucigaş care a omorât fără voie o persoană să poată fugi acolo.
16 Dacă un om loveşte pe cineva cu un obiect de fier şi-l ucide, acel om este un ucigaş; ucigaşul trebuie să fie omorât. 17 Dacă cineva are în mână o piatră a cărei lovitură poate cauza moartea şi loveşte pe cineva omorându-l, acel om este un ucigaş; ucigaşul trebuie să fie omorât. 18 Dacă cineva are în mână un obiect de lemn care poate cauza moartea şi loveşte pe cineva şi-l omoară, acel om este un ucigaş; ucigaşul trebuie să fie omorât. 19 Răzbunătorul sângelui să-l omoare pe ucigaş; atunci când îl va întâlni să-l omoare. 20 Dacă cineva împinge cu ură un om sau dacă-l pândeşte şi aruncă cu ceva în el şi-l omoară 21 sau dacă-l loveşte cu pumnul din vrăjmăşie şi-l omoară, acel bărbat trebuie să fie omorât; el este un ucigaş. Răzbunătorul sângelui să-l omoare pe ucigaş când îl întâlneşte.
22 Dar dacă cineva loveşte dintr-odată un om, nu din duşmănie, sau dacă aruncă cu un obiect în el, fără să-l fi pândit dinainte, 23 sau dacă, fără să-l vadă, aruncă în el cu o piatră care poate cauza moartea şi acesta moare, atunci, de vreme ce nu i-a fost duşman şi n-a intenţionat să-l rănească, 24 adunarea trebuie să judece între el şi răzbunătorul sângelui, ţinând cont de următoarele legi: 25 Adunarea trebuie să-l elibereze pe ucigaş din mâna răzbunătorului de sânge şi să-l trimită înapoi în cetatea de refugiu în care fugise. El să locuiască acolo până la moartea marelui preot care a fost uns cu untdelemn sfânt. 26 Dar dacă ucigaşul trece dincolo de limitele cetăţii de refugiu în care a fugit 27 şi răzbunătorul sângelui îl găseşte în afara cetăţii, atunci răzbunătorul sângelui îl poate omorî pe ucigaş şi nu va fi vinovat de omor. 28 Acuzatul trebuie să rămână în cetatea de refugiu până la moartea marelui preot. Numai după moartea marelui preot se poate reîntoarce la proprietatea lui.
29 Acestea vor fi pentru voi hotărâri pe baza cărora să judecaţi toate generaţiile care vor urma, oriunde veţi locui:
30 Dacă cineva a ucis o persoană, ucigaşul trebuie să fie omorât doar pe baza mărturiei mai multor martori. Nimeni să nu fie ucis doar pe baza mărturiei unei singure persoane.
31 Să nu acceptaţi răscumpărare pentru viaţa unui ucigaş vinovat de moarte. El trebuie să fie omorât!
32 Să nu acceptaţi răscumpărare pentru cel care a fugit într-o cetate de refugiu şi să nu-i daţi voie să se întoarcă şi să locuiască în proprietatea lui înainte de moartea marelui preot.
33 Să nu pângăriţi ţara unde veţi locui. Sângele pângăreşte ţara şi nu se poate face altfel de ispăşire pentru pământul peste care a fost vărsat sânge, decât prin sângele celui care l-a vărsat. 34 Să nu pângăriţi deci ţara în care veţi locui şi în care voi locui şi Eu, căci Eu, Domnul, locuiesc în mijlocul israeliţilor.»“

Cities for the Levites
35 (A)Now the Lord spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab, by the Jordan opposite Jericho, saying, 2 “Command the sons of Israel that they give to the Levites from the inheritance of their possession cities to live in; and you shall give to the Levites pasture lands around the cities. 3 The cities shall be theirs to live in; and their pasture lands shall be for their cattle and for their equipment and for all their other animals.
4 “The pasture lands of the cities which you are to give to the Levites shall extend from the wall of the city [a]outward a thousand cubits around. 5 You shall also measure outside the city on the east side two thousand cubits, on the south side two thousand cubits, on the west side two thousand cubits, and on the north side two thousand cubits, with the city in the center. This shall become theirs as pasture lands for the cities.
Cities of Refuge
6 The cities which you shall give to the Levites shall be the (B)six cities of refuge, which you shall provide for the one who commits manslaughter to flee to; and in addition to them you shall give forty-two cities. 7 The total number of the cities which you are to give to the Levites shall be (C)forty-eight cities, [b]together with their pasture lands. 8 (D)As for the cities which you shall give them from the possession of the sons of Israel, you shall take more from the larger, and you shall take fewer from the smaller; each shall give some of his cities to the Levites in proportion to his inheritance which he possesses.”
9 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 10 “(E)Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, ‘When you cross the Jordan into the land of Canaan, 11 (F)then you shall select for yourselves cities to be your (G)cities of refuge, so that the one who commits manslaughter by [c]killing a person (H)unintentionally may flee there. 12 (I)The cities shall [d]serve you as a refuge from the avenger, so that the one who commits manslaughter does not die until he stands before the congregation for [e]trial. 13 So the cities which you are to provide shall be six cities of refuge for you. 14 You (J)shall provide three cities across the Jordan, and three cities [f]in the land of Canaan; they are to be cities of refuge. 15 These six cities shall be a refuge for the sons of Israel, for the stranger, and for the foreign resident among them; so that anyone who [g]kills a person (K)unintentionally may flee there.
16 ‘(L)But if he struck him with an iron object, so that he died, he is a murderer; the murderer must be put to death. 17 And if he struck him with a stone in the hand, by which he would die, and as a result he did die, he is a murderer; the murderer (M)must be put to death. 18 Or if he struck him with a wooden object in the hand, by which he would die, and as a result he did die, he is a murderer; the murderer must be put to death. 19 The blood avenger himself shall put the murderer to death; he himself shall put him to death when he meets him. 20 Now (N)if he pushed him in hatred, or he threw something at him [h](O)with malicious intent, and as a result he died, 21 or if he struck him with his hand with hostility, and as a result he died, the one who struck him must be put to death; he is a murderer. The blood avenger shall put the murderer to death when he meets him.
22 ‘(P)But if he pushed him suddenly, without hostility, or threw any object at him without [i]malicious intent, 23 or had any [j]deadly stone, and without looking he dropped it on him so that he died, while he was not his enemy nor was he seeking [k]to harm him, 24 then (Q)the congregation shall judge between the one who fatally struck the victim and the blood avenger in accordance with these ordinances. 25 And the congregation shall save the one who committed manslaughter from the hand of the blood avenger, and the congregation shall return him to his city of refuge to which he fled; and he shall live in it until the death of the high priest who was anointed with the holy oil. 26 But if at any time [l]he goes beyond the border of his city of refuge to which he flees, 27 and the blood avenger finds him outside the border of his city of refuge, and the blood avenger kills [m]him, he [n]will not be guilty of bloodshed, 28 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 one who committed manslaughter may return to the land of his property.
29 ‘These things shall be a (R)statutory ordinance for you throughout your generations in all your dwelling places.
30 ‘(S)If anyone kills a person, the murderer shall be put to death on the [o]testimony of witnesses, but (T)no person shall be put to death on the testimony of only one witness. 31 Moreover, you shall not accept a ransom for the life of a murderer who is [p]condemned to death, but he must be put to death. 32 And you shall not accept a ransom for one who has fled to his city of refuge, so that he may return to live in the land [q]before the death of the priest. 33 (U)So you shall not defile the land in which you live; for blood defiles the land, and no atonement can be made for the land for the blood that is shed on it, except (V)by the blood of the one who shed it. 34 So you shall not (W)defile the land in which you live, in the midst of which (X)I dwell; for I the Lord am dwelling in the midst of the sons of Israel.’”

Towns for the Levites
35 On the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho,(A) the Lord said to Moses, 2 “Command the Israelites to give the Levites towns to live in(B) from the inheritance the Israelites will possess. And give them pasturelands(C) around the towns. 3 Then they will have towns to live in and pasturelands for the cattle they own and all their other animals.(D)
4 “The pasturelands around the towns that you give the Levites will extend a thousand cubits[a] from the town wall. 5 Outside the town, measure two thousand cubits[b](E) on the east side, two thousand on the south side, two thousand on the west and two thousand on the north, with the town in the center. They will have this area as pastureland for the towns.(F)
Cities of Refuge(G)
6 “Six of the towns you give the Levites will be cities of refuge, to which a person who has killed someone may flee.(H) In addition, give them forty-two other towns. 7 In all you must give the Levites forty-eight towns, together with their pasturelands. 8 The towns you give the Levites from the land the Israelites possess are to be given in proportion to the inheritance of each tribe: Take many towns from a tribe that has many, but few from one that has few.”(I)
9 Then the Lord said to Moses: 10 “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘When you cross the Jordan into Canaan,(J) 11 select some towns to be your cities of refuge, to which a person who has killed someone(K) accidentally(L) may flee. 12 They will be places of refuge from the avenger,(M) so that anyone accused of murder(N) may not die before they stand trial before the assembly.(O) 13 These six towns you give will be your cities of refuge.(P) 14 Give three on this side of the Jordan and three in Canaan as cities of refuge. 15 These six towns will be a place of refuge for Israelites and for foreigners residing among them, so that anyone who has killed another accidentally can flee there.
16 “‘If anyone strikes someone a fatal blow with an iron object, that person is a murderer; the murderer is to be put to death.(Q) 17 Or if anyone is holding a stone and strikes someone a fatal blow with it, that person is a murderer; the murderer is to be put to death. 18 Or if anyone is holding a wooden object and strikes someone a fatal blow with it, that person is a murderer; the murderer is to be put to death. 19 The avenger of blood(R) shall put the murderer to death; when the avenger comes upon the murderer, the avenger shall put the murderer to death.(S) 20 If anyone with malice aforethought shoves another or throws something at them intentionally(T) so that they die 21 or if out of enmity one person hits another with their fist so that the other dies, that person is to be put to death;(U) that person is a murderer. The avenger of blood(V) shall put the murderer to death when they meet.
22 “‘But if without enmity someone suddenly pushes another or throws something at them unintentionally(W) 23 or, without seeing them, drops on them a stone heavy enough to kill them, and they die, then since that other person was not an enemy and no harm was intended, 24 the assembly(X) must judge between the accused and the avenger of blood according to these regulations. 25 The assembly must protect the one accused of murder from the avenger of blood and send the accused back to the city of refuge to which they fled. The accused must stay there until the death of the high priest,(Y) who was anointed(Z) with the holy oil.(AA)
26 “‘But if the accused ever goes outside the limits of the city of refuge to which they fled 27 and the avenger of blood finds them outside the city, the avenger of blood may kill the accused without being guilty of murder. 28 The accused must stay in the city of refuge until the death of the high priest; only after the death of the high priest may they return to their own property.
29 “‘This is to have the force of law(AB) for you throughout the generations to come,(AC) wherever you live.(AD)
30 “‘Anyone who kills a person is to be put to death as a murderer only on the testimony of witnesses. But no one is to be put to death on the testimony of only one witness.(AE)
31 “‘Do not accept a ransom(AF) for the life of a murderer, who deserves to die. They are to be put to death.
32 “‘Do not accept a ransom for anyone who has fled to a city of refuge and so allow them to go back and live on their own land before the death of the high priest.
33 “‘Do not pollute the land where you are. Bloodshed pollutes the land,(AG) and atonement cannot be made for the land on which blood has been shed, except by the blood of the one who shed it. 34 Do not defile the land(AH) where you live and where I dwell,(AI) for I, the Lord, dwell among the Israelites.’”
