YLT
Young's Literal Translation
The
LORD
also
spake
unto Joshua, saying,
And
Jehovah
speaketh
unto Joshua, saying,
Speak to
the children
of Israel, saying, Appoint
out
for you cities of refuge, whereof
I spake
unto you by the hand of Moses :
`
Speak unto
the sons
of Israel, saying, Give
for you cities of refuge, as
I have
spoken
unto you by the hand of Moses ,
That
the slayer
that
killeth
any
person
unawares
and
unwittingly
may
flee
thither :
and they shall
be
your
refuge from the avenger
of blood.
for
the fleeing
thither of
a
man-slayer
smiting
life
inadvertently,
without
knowledge;
and they have
been
to
you
for
a
refuge from the redeemer
of blood.
And
when he
that
doth
flee
unto one of those
cities shall
stand
at the entering
of the gate of the city, and shall
declare
his
cause
in the ears of the elders of that city, they shall
take
him into the city unto them, and give
him a place, that
he may
dwell
among
them.
`
When `one'
hath
fled
unto one of these
cities ,
and
hath
stood
`
at '
the opening
of the gate of the city, and hath
spoken
in the ears of the elders of that city his
matter
, then
they have
gathered
him into the city unto them, and have
given
to
him a place, and
he hath
dwelt
with
them.
And if
the avenger
of blood pursue after him, then they shall
not deliver
the slayer up
into his hand ;
because
he smote
his neighbor
unwittingly
, and hated
him
not beforetime.
`
And when
the redeemer
of blood doth
pursue after him, then they do
not shut
up
the man-
slayer into his hand ,
for
without
knowledge
he hath
smitten
his neighbour
, and is
not hating
him
hitherto;
And he shall
dwell
in that city ,
until
he
stand
before the congregation
for judgment, and
until
the death of the high
priest that
shall
be
in those days :
then shall
the slayer return,
and come unto his own
city, and unto his own
house, unto the city from
whence he fled.
and he hath
dwelt
in that city till
his
standing
before the company
for judgment, till
the death of the chief
priest who
is
in those days --
then doth
the man-
slayer turn
back
and hath
come unto his city, and unto his house, unto the city whence he fled. '
And they appointed
Kedesh in Galilee in mount
Naphtali, and Shechem in mount
Ephraim, and Kirjatharba,
which
is Hebron, in the mountain
of Judah .
And they sanctify
Kedesh in Galilee ,
in the
hill-country
of
Naphtali, and Shechem in the
hill-country
of
Ephraim, and Kirjath-Arba
(it
`
is '
Hebron )
, in the hill-country
of Judah ;
And on
the other
side
Jordan by
Jericho eastward, they assigned
Bezer in the wilderness upon
the plain out of the tribe of Reuben, and Ramoth in Gilead out of the tribe of Gad, and Golan in Bashan out of the tribe of Manasseh.
and beyond
the Jordan ,
`at'
Jericho eastward, they have
given
Bezer in the wilderness ,
in
the plain ,
out of the tribe of Reuben, and Ramoth in Gilead out of the tribe of Gad, and Golan in Bashan out of the tribe of Manasseh.
These were
the
cities appointed
for all the children
of Israel, and for the
stranger
that
sojourneth
among
them
, that
whosoever
killeth
any
person
at
unawares
might
flee
thither, and not die by the hand of the avenger
of blood ,
until
he
stood
before the congregation
.
These have
been
cities of
meeting
for all the sons
of Israel, and for a
sojourner
who
is
sojourning
in
their
midst
, for
the
fleeing
thither of
any
one
smiting
life
inadvertently
, and he
doth
not die by the hand of the redeemer
of blood till
his
standing
before the company
.
