~Deuteronomy 19:1 When Jehovah thy God shall cut off the nations,whose land Jehovah thy God giveth thee, and thou succeedest them,and dwellest in their cities, and in their houses;
~Deuteronomy 19:2 thou shalt set apart three cities for thee in themidst of thy land, which Jehovah thy God giveth thee to possess it.
~Deuteronomy 19:3 Thou shalt prepare thee the way, and divide theborders of thy land, which Jehovah thy God causeth thee to inherit,into three parts, that every manslayer may flee thither.
~Deuteronomy 19:4 And this is the case of the manslayer, that shallflee thither and live: whoso killeth his neighbor unawares, and hatedhim not in time past;
~Deuteronomy 19:5 as when a man goeth into the forest with hisneighbor to hew wood, and his hand fetcheth a stroke with the axe tocut down the tree, and the head slippeth from the helve, and lightethupon his neighbor, so that he dieth; he shall flee unto one of thesecities and live:
~Deuteronomy 19:6 lest the avenger of blood pursue the manslayer,while his heart is hot, and overtake him, because the way is long, andsmite him mortally; whereas he was not worthy of death, inasmuch ashe hated him not in time past.
~Deuteronomy 19:7 Wherefore I command thee, saying, Thou shaltset apart three cities for thee.
~Deuteronomy 19:8 And if Jehovah thy God enlarge thy border, as hehath sworn unto thy fathers, and give thee all the land which hepromised to give unto thy fathers;
~Deuteronomy 19:9 if thou shalt keep all this commandment to do it,which I command thee this day, to love Jehovah thy God, and to walkever in his ways; then shalt thou add three cities more for thee,besides these three:
~Deuteronomy 19:10 that innocent blood be not shed in the midst ofthy land, which Jehovah thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, andso blood be upon thee.
~Deuteronomy 19:11 But if any man hate his neighbor, and lie in waitfor him, and rise up against him, and smite him mortally so that hedieth, and he flee into one of these cities;
~Deuteronomy 19:12 then the elders of his city shall send and fetchhim thence, and deliver him into the hand of the avenger of blood,that he may die.
~Deuteronomy 19:13 Thine eye shall not pity him, but thou shalt putaway the innocent blood from Israel, that it may go well with thee.
~Deuteronomy 19:14 Thou shalt not remove thy neighbor's landmark,which they of old time have set, in thine inheritance which thou shaltinherit, in the land that Jehovah thy God giveth thee to possess it.
~Deuteronomy 19:15 One witness shall not rise up against a man forany iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: at the mouth oftwo witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall a matter beestablished.
~Deuteronomy 19:16 If an unrighteous witness rise up against anyman to testify against him of wrong-doing,
~Deuteronomy 19:17 then both the men, between whom thecontroversy is, shall stand before Jehovah, before the priests and thejudges that shall be in those days;
~Deuteronomy 19:18 and the judges shall make diligent inquisition:and, behold, if the witness be a false witness, and have testifiedfalsely against his brother;
~Deuteronomy 19:19 then shall ye do unto him, as he had thought todo unto his brother: so shalt thou put away the evil from the midst ofthee.
~Deuteronomy 19:20 And those that remain shall hear, and fear, andshall henceforth commit no more any such evil in the midst of thee.
~Deuteronomy 19:21 And thine eyes shall not pity; life [shall go] forlife, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot
