YLT
Young's Literal Translation
When the
LORD
thy God hath
cut off the nations, whose land the
LORD
thy God giveth
thee, and thou succeedest
them, and dwellest
in their cities, and in their houses ;
`
When Jehovah
thy God doth
cut off the nations, whose land Jehovah
thy God is
giving
to
thee, and thou hast
succeeded
them, and dwelt
in their cities, and in their houses ,
Thou
shalt
separate
three cities for thee in the midst of thy land ,
which the
LORD
thy God giveth
thee to possess it.
three cities thou
dost
separate
for thee in the midst of thy land which Jehovah
thy God is
giving
to
thee to possess it.
Thou shalt
prepare thee a
way, and divide
the coasts
of thy land ,
which the
LORD
thy God giveth
thee to inherit, into
three
parts,
that
every slayer may
flee
thither
.
Thou dost
prepare for
thee the
way, and hast
divided
into
three
parts
the border
of thy land which Jehovah
thy God doth
cause
thee to inherit, and
it
hath
been
for
the
fleeing
thither
of
every man-
slayer.
And this is the case
of the slayer ,
which
shall
flee
thither, that
he
may
live
: Whoso
killeth
his neighbor
ignorantly
, whom
he
hated
not in
time
past;
`
And this `
is '
the matter
of the man-
slayer who
fleeth
thither, and
hath
lived
: He
who
smiteth
his neighbour
unknowingly
, and
is
not hating
him
heretofore,
As
when
a
man
goeth
into
the
wood
with his neighbor
to hew wood, and his hand fetcheth
a
stroke
with the
axe to cut down
the tree, and the head
slippeth
from the helve
, and lighteth
upon
his neighbor
, that
he die;
he shall
flee unto one of those
cities, and live:
even
he
who
cometh
in
with his neighbour
into
a
forest
to hew wood, and his hand hath
driven
with an
axe to cut the tree, and the iron
hath
slipped
from the wood
, and hath
met
his neighbour
, and
he hath
died
--
he doth
flee unto one of these
cities, and hath
lived,
Lest the avenger
of the
blood pursue the slayer ,
while
his heart is hot, and overtake
him ,
because the way is long
, and slay
him ;
whereas
he was
not
worthy
of death, inasmuch
as
he hated
him
not in
time
past.
lest the redeemer
of blood pursue after
the man-
slayer when
his heart is hot, and hath
overtaken
him (
because the way is great)
, and hath
smitten
him --
the
life,
and
he hath
no
sentence
of death, for
he is
not hating
him
heretofore;
Wherefore
I command
thee, saying, Thou
shalt
separate
three cities for
thee.
therefore
I am
commanding
thee, saying, Three cities thou
dost
separate
to
thee.
And if the
LORD
thy God enlarge thy coast
, as he hath sworn unto
thy fathers, and give
thee all the land which he promised
to give unto
thy fathers ;
`
And if Jehovah
thy God doth
enlarge thy border
, as He hath sworn to
thy fathers, and hath
given
to
thee all the land which He hath
spoken
to give to
thy fathers --
If
thou shalt
keep
all these
commandments
to do them
, which I command
thee this
day, to love the
LORD
thy God, and to walk ever
in his ways ;
then shalt
thou add
three cities more
for
thee,
beside
these three :
when
thou keepest
all this
command
to do it
, which I am
commanding
thee to-
day, to love Jehovah
thy God, and to walk in His ways all
the
days
--
then thou hast
added
to
thee
yet
three cities to
these three ;
That
innocent blood be
not shed in thy land ,
which the
LORD
thy God giveth
thee for
an inheritance, and so
blood
be
upon thee.
and
innocent blood is
not shed in the
midst
of
thy land which Jehovah
thy God is
giving
to
thee --
an inheritance, and there
hath
been
upon thee blood
.
But
if
any
man hate
his neighbor
, and lie
in wait for him, and rise
up
against him, and smite
him mortally
that
he die
, and fleeth
into
one of these cities :
`And
when
a
man is
hating
his neighbour
, and hath
lain
in wait for him, and risen
against him, and smitten
him --
the
life,
and
he hath
died
, and he
hath
fled
unto
one of these cities ,
Then the elders of his city shall
send
and fetch
him thence, and deliver
him into the hand of the avenger
of blood, that
he may
die.
then the elders of his city have
sent
and taken
him from
thence, and given
him into the hand of the redeemer
of blood, and
he hath
died;
Thine eye shall
not
pity him, but
thou shalt
put away the guilt
of
innocent blood from Israel, that
it may
go
well with thee.
thine eye hath
no
pity on
him, and
thou hast
put away the innocent blood from Israel, and
it is
well with thee.
Thou shalt
not remove thy neighbor's
landmark
, which they of old
time
have set
in thine inheritance, which thou shalt
inherit in the land that
the
LORD
thy God giveth
thee to possess it.
`
Thou dost
not remove a
border
of
thy neighbour
, which they of former
times
have made,
in thine inheritance, which thou dost
inherit in the land which
Jehovah
thy God is
giving
to
thee to possess it.
One witness shall
not rise up
against a man for any iniquity, or
for any sin, in any sin that
he sinneth :
at
the mouth of two witnesses, or at
the mouth of three witnesses, shall
the
matter
be
established.
`
One witness doth
not rise against a man for any iniquity, and
for any sin, in any sin which
he sinneth ;
by
the mouth of two witnesses, or by
the mouth of three witnesses, is
a
thing
established.
If
a false
witness rise up
against any
man to testify against him that
which
is
wrong;
`When
a violent
witness doth
rise against a
man ,
to testify against him apostacy,
Then both the men ,
between
whom
the controversy
is,
shall
stand
before the
LORD
, before the priests and the judges ,
which
shall
be
in those days ;
then have
both the men who
have
the strife
stood
before Jehovah
, before the priests and the judges who
are
in those days ,
And the judges shall
make
diligent
inquisition:
and
, behold
, if
the witness be
a false witness, and
hath testified falsely
against his brother ;
and the judges have
searched
diligently
, and
lo
, the witness `is'
a false witness, a
falsehood
he
hath testified against his brother :
Then shall
ye do
unto
him ,
as he had
thought
to have
done
unto
his brother :
so
shalt
thou put the evil away
from
among
you.
`
Then ye have
done
to
him as he devised
to do
to
his brother ,
and
thou hast
put away
the evil thing
out
of
thy
midst,
And those which
remain
shall
hear ,
and fear, and shall
henceforth
commit
no
more
any such
evil among
you.
and those who
are
left
do
hear and fear, and add
not
to
do
any more
according
to
this
evil thing
in
thy
midst;
And thine eye shall
not pity ;
but
life shall
go
for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
and thine eye doth
not pity --
life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
