Chapter 35 And the LORD spake unto Moses
in the plains of Moab, by Jordan,

00:05.680 --> 00:10.080
near Jericho, saying, Command the children
of Israel, that they give unto the Levites

00:10.080 --> 00:12.780
of the inheritance of their possessions
cities to dwell in.

00:13.300 --> 00:17.340
And ye shall give also unto the Levites
suburbs for the cities round about them.

00:17.940 --> 00:20.140
And the cities shall they have to dwell
in.

00:20.640 --> 00:24.940
And the suburbs of them shall be for their
cattle, and for their goods, and for all

00:24.940 --> 00:25.620
their beasts.

00:26.180 --> 00:30.300
And the suburbs of the cities which ye
shall give unto the Levites shall reach

00:30.300 --> 00:33.840
from the wall of the city, and outward a
thousand cubits round about.

00:34.580 --> 00:38.400
And ye shall measure from without the city
on the east side two thousand cubits,

00:38.860 --> 00:43.820
and on the south side two thousand cubits,
and on the west side two thousand cubits,

00:44.160 --> 00:46.620
and on the north side two thousand cubits.

00:47.060 --> 00:48.620
And the cities shall be in the midst.

00:49.240 --> 00:51.620
This shall be to them the suburbs of the
cities.

00:52.220 --> 00:56.740
And among the cities which ye shall give
unto the Levites there shall be six cities

00:56.740 --> 01:01.640
for refuge, which ye shall appoint for the
manslayer, that he may flee thither.

01:02.220 --> 01:04.840
And to them ye shall add forty and two
cities.

01:05.440 --> 01:09.580
So all the cities which ye shall give to
the Levites shall be forty and eight

01:09.580 --> 01:10.000
cities.

01:10.560 --> 01:12.360
Them shall ye give with their suburbs.

01:13.000 --> 01:16.740
And the cities which ye shall give shall
be of the possession of the children of

01:16.740 --> 01:17.160
Israel.

01:17.680 --> 01:20.100
From them that have many ye shall give
many.

01:20.660 --> 01:23.320
But from them that have few ye shall give
few.

01:24.060 --> 01:27.960
Every one shall give of his cities unto
the Levites according to his inheritance

01:27.960 --> 01:29.180
which he inheriteth.

01:29.520 --> 01:32.780
And the Lord spake unto Moses,
saying, Speak unto the children of Israel,

01:32.880 --> 01:37.060
and say unto them, When ye be come over
Jordan into the land of Canaan,

01:37.760 --> 01:42.120
then ye shall appoint you cities to be
cities of refuge for you, that the slayer

01:42.120 --> 01:45.600
may flee thither, which killeth any person
at unawares.

01:46.380 --> 01:49.540
And they shall be unto you cities for
refuge from the avenger.

01:50.100 --> 01:54.640
That the manslayer die not, until he stand
before the congregation in judgment.

01:55.660 --> 01:59.720
And of these cities which ye shall give,
six cities shall ye have for refuge.

02:00.340 --> 02:04.980
Ye shall give three cities on this side
Jordan, and three cities shall ye give in

02:04.980 --> 02:07.760
the land of Canaan, which shall be cities
of refuge.

02:08.740 --> 02:13.200
These six cities shall be a refuge,
both for the children of Israel and for

02:13.200 --> 02:17.880
the stranger, and for the sojourner among
them, that every one that killeth any

02:17.880 --> 02:19.660
person unawares may flee thither.

02:20.100 --> 02:24.800
And if he smite him with an instrument of
iron so that he die, he is a murderer.

02:25.500 --> 02:27.720
The murderer shall surely be put to death.

02:28.400 --> 02:33.200
And if he smite him with throwing a stone,
wherewith he may die, and he die,

02:33.380 --> 02:34.540
he is a murderer.

02:35.040 --> 02:37.140
The murderer shall surely be put to death.

02:37.880 --> 02:42.280
Or if he smite him with an hand weapon of
wood, wherewith he may die, and he die,

02:42.660 --> 02:43.580
he is a murderer.

02:44.120 --> 02:46.300
The murderer shall surely be put to death.

02:46.980 --> 02:51.740
The revenger of blood himself shall slay
the murderer, when he meeteth him he shall

02:51.740 --> 02:52.320
slay him.

02:53.180 --> 02:57.200
But if he thrust him of hatred,
or hurl at him by laying of weight,

02:57.340 --> 02:57.920
that he die.

02:58.680 --> 03:01.460
Or an enmity smite him with his hand,
that he die.

03:02.020 --> 03:05.840
He that smote him shall surely be put to
death, for he is a murderer.

03:06.400 --> 03:09.720
The revenger of blood shall slay the
murderer, when he meeteth him.

03:10.420 --> 03:15.080
But if he thrust him suddenly without
enmity, or have cast upon him anything

03:15.080 --> 03:18.980
without laying of weight, or with any
stone, wherewith a man may die,

03:19.480 --> 03:24.180
seeing him not, and cast it upon him,
that he die, and was not his enemy,

03:24.640 --> 03:25.780
neither sought his harm.

03:26.360 --> 03:29.800
Then the congregation shall judge between
the slayer and the revenger of blood

03:29.800 --> 03:31.080
according to these judgments.

03:31.800 --> 03:35.420
And the congregation shall deliver the
slayer out of the hand of the revenger of

03:35.420 --> 03:35.740
blood.

03:36.180 --> 03:40.640
And the congregation shall restore him to
the city of his refuge, whither he was

03:40.640 --> 03:41.000
fled.

03:41.500 --> 03:45.560
And he shall abide in it, unto the death
of the high priest, which was anointed

03:45.560 --> 03:46.600
with the holy oil.

03:47.460 --> 03:51.260
But if the slayer shall at any time come
without the border of the city of his

03:51.260 --> 03:55.600
refuge, whither he was fled, and the
revenger of blood find him without the

03:55.600 --> 03:59.420
borders of the city of his refuge,
and the revenger of blood killed the

03:59.420 --> 04:04.400
slayer, he shall not be guilty of blood,
because he should have remained in the

04:04.400 --> 04:06.840
city of his refuge until the death of the
high priest.

04:07.500 --> 04:11.160
But after the death of the high priest,
the slayer shall return into the land of

04:11.160 --> 04:11.760
his possession.

04:12.580 --> 04:16.040
So these things shall be for a statute of
judgment unto you throughout your

04:16.040 --> 04:17.880
generations in all your dwellings.

04:18.420 --> 04:22.580
Whoso killeth any person, the murderer
shall be put to death by the mouth of

04:22.580 --> 04:22.980
witnesses.

04:23.800 --> 04:27.620
But one witness shall not testify against
any person to cause him to die.

04:28.300 --> 04:32.580
Moreover, ye shall take no satisfaction
for the life of a murderer, which is

04:32.580 --> 04:35.840
guilty of death, but he shall be surely
put to death.

04:36.640 --> 04:40.480
And ye shall take no satisfaction for him
that has fled to the city of his refuge,

04:40.820 --> 04:44.360
that he should come again to dwell in the
land until the death of the priest.

04:44.960 --> 04:49.940
So ye shall not pollute the land wherein
ye are, for blood it defileth the land,

04:50.380 --> 04:54.600
and the land cannot be cleansed of the
blood that is shed therein, but by the

04:54.600 --> 04:55.820
blood of him that shed it.

04:56.480 --> 05:00.320
Defile not therefore the land which ye
shall inhabit wherein I dwell,

05:00.820 --> 05:03.940
for I the Lord dwell among the children of
Israel.
