KJVThe LORD^H3068 also spake^H1696^(H8762) unto Joshua^H3091, saying^H559^(H8800),

² “Speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘Assign the cities of refuge, of which I spoke to you by Moses,

KJVSpeak^H1696^(H8761) to the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478, saying^H559^(H8800), Appoint out^H5414^(H8798) for you cities^H5892 of refuge^H4733, whereof I spake^H1696^(H8765) unto you by the hand^H3027 of Moses^H4872:

³ that the man slayer who kills any person accidentally or unintentionally may flee there. They shall be to you for a refuge from the avenger of blood.

KJVThat the slayer^H7523^(H8802) that killeth^H5221^(H8688) any person^H5315 unawares^H7684 and unwittingly^H1847 may flee^H5127^(H8800) thither: and they shall be your refuge^H4733 from the avenger^H1350^(H8802) of blood^H1818.

⁴ He shall flee to one of those cities, and shall stand at the entrance of the gate of the city, and declare his case in the ears of the elders of that city. They shall take him into the city with them, and give him a place, that he may live among them.

KJVAnd when he that doth flee^H5127^(H8804) unto one^H259 of those cities^H5892 shall stand^H5975^(H8804) at the entering^H6607 of the gate^H8179 of the city^H5892, and shall declare^H1696^(H8765) his cause^H1697 in the ears^H241 of the elders^H2205 of that city^H5892, they shall take^H622^(H8804) him into the city^H5892 unto them, and give^H5414^(H8804) him a place^H4725, that he may dwell^H3427^(H8804) among them.

⁵ If the avenger of blood pursues him, then they shall not deliver up the man slayer into his hand; because he struck his neighbor unintentionally, and didn’t hate him before.

KJVAnd if the avenger^H1350^(H8802) of blood^H1818 pursue^H7291^(H8799) after^H310 him, then they shall not deliver^H5462^(H8686) the slayer^H7523^(H8802) up into his hand^H3027; because he smote^H5221^(H8689) his neighbour^H7453 unwittingly^H1097^H1847, and hated^H8130^(H8802) him not beforetime^H8543^H8032.

⁶ He shall dwell in that city until he stands before the congregation for judgment, until the death of the high priest that shall be in those days. Then the man slayer shall return, and come to his own city, and to his own house, to the city he fled from.’”

KJVAnd he shall dwell^H3427^(H8804) in that city^H5892, until he stand^H5975^(H8800) before^H6440 the congregation^H5712 for judgment^H4941, and until the death^H4194 of the high^H1419 priest^H3548 that^H834 shall be in those days^H3117: then shall the slayer^H7523^(H8802) return^H7725^(H8799), and come^H935^(H8804) unto his own city^H5892, and unto his own house^H1004, unto the city^H5892 from whence he fled^H5127^(H8804).

⁴⁹ So they finished distributing the land for inheritance by its borders. The children of Israel gave an inheritance to Joshua the son of Nun among them.

KJVWhen they had made an end^H3615^(H8762) of dividing the land^H776 for inheritance^H5157^(H8800) by their coasts^H1367, the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478 gave^H5414^(H8799) an inheritance^H5159 to Joshua^H3091 the son^H1121 of Nun^H5126 among^H8432 them:

⁵⁰ According to Yahweh’s commandment, they gave him the city which he asked, even Timnathserah in the hill country of Ephraim; and he built the city, and lived there.

KJVAccording to the word^H6310 of the LORD^H3068 they gave^H5414^(H8804) him the city^H5892 which he asked^H7592^(H8804), even Timnathserah^H8556 in mount^H2022 Ephraim^H669: and he built^H1129^(H8799) the city^H5892, and dwelt^H3427^(H8799) therein.

⁵¹ These are the inheritances, which Eleazar the priest, Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers’ houses of the tribes of the children of Israel, distributed for inheritance by lot in Shiloh before Yahweh, at the door of the Tent of Meeting. So they finished dividing the land.

KJVThese are the inheritances^H5159, which Eleazar^H499 the priest^H3548, and Joshua^H3091 the son^H1121 of Nun^H5126, and the heads^H7218 of the fathers^H1 of the tribes^H4294 of the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478, divided for an inheritance^H5157^(H8765) by lot^H1486 in Shiloh^H7887 before^H6440 the LORD^H3068, at the door^H6607 of the tabernacle^H168 of the congregation^H4150. So they made an end^H3615^(H8762) of dividing^H2505^(H8763) the country^H776.
