Deuteronomy 19:4
King James Version
Translation: KJV
2Thou shalt separate three cities for thee in the midst of thy land, which the Lord thy God giveth thee to possess it.Select Deuteronomy 19:2
3Thou 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.Select Deuteronomy 19:3
4And this is the case of the slayer, which shall flee thither, that he may live: Whoso killeth his neighbour ignorantly, whom he hated not in time past;Select Deuteronomy 19:4
5As when a man goeth into the wood with his neighbour 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 neighbour, that he die; he shall flee unto one of those cities, and live:Select Deuteronomy 19:5
6Lest 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.Select Deuteronomy 19:6
