1  The LORD3068 also spoke1696 unto413 Joshua,3091 saying,559

2  Speak1696 to413 the children1121 of Israel,3478 saying,559 Appoint5414 out for you 853 cities5892 of refuge,4733 whereof834 I spoke1696 unto413 you by the hand3027 of Moses:4872

3  That the slayer7523 that killeth5221 any person5315 unawares7684 and unwittingly1097 1847 may flee5127 thither:8033 and they shall be1961 your refuge4733 from the avenger4480 1350 of blood.1818

4  And when he that doth flee5127 unto413 one259 of those428 cities4480 5892 shall stand5975 at the entering6607 of the gate8179 of the city,5892 and shall declare1696 853 his cause1697 in the ears241 of the elders2205 of that1931 city,5892 they shall take622 him into the city5892 unto them, and give5414 413 him a place,4725 that he may dwell3427 among5973 them.

5  And if3588 the avenger1350 of blood1818 pursue7291 after310 him, then they shall not3808 deliver5462 853 the slayer7523 up into his hand;3027 because3588 he smote5221 853 his neighbor7453 unwittingly,1097 1847 and hated8130 him not3808 formerly.8543 8032

6  And he shall dwell3427 in that1931 city,5892 until5704 he stand5975 before6440 the congregation5712 for judgment,4941 and until5704 the death4194 of the high1419 priest3548 that834 shall be1961 in those1992 days:3117 then227 shall the slayer7523 return,7725 and come935 unto413 his own city,5892 and unto413 his own house,1004 unto413 the city5892 from whence834 4480 8033 he fled.5127

7  And they appointed6942 853 Kedesh6943 in Galilee1551 in mount2022 Naphtali,5321 and Shechem7927 in mount2022 Ephraim,669 and Kirjath-arba,7153 which1931 is Hebron,2275 in the mountain2022 of Judah.3063

8  And on the other side4480 5676 Jordan3383 by Jericho3405 eastward,4217 they assigned5414 853 Bezer1221 in the wilderness4057 upon the plain4334 out of the tribe4480 4294 of Reuben,7205 and Ramoth7216 in Gilead1568 out of the tribe4480 4294 of Gad,1410 and Golan1474 in Bashan1316 out of the tribe4480 4294 of Manasseh.4519

9  These428 were1961 the cities5892 appointed4152 for all3605 the children1121 of Israel,3478 and for the stranger1616 that sojourneth1481 among8432 them, that whosoever3605 killeth5221 any person5315 at unawares7684 might flee5127 thither,8033 and not3808 die4191 by the hand3027 of the avenger1350 of blood,1818 until5704 he stood5975 before6440 the congregation.5712

1 καὶ ἐλάλησεν κύριος τῷ Ἰησοῖ λέγων

2 λάλησον τοῖς υἱοῖς Ισραηλ λέγων δότε τὰς πόλεις τῶν φυγαδευτηρίων ἃς εἶπα πρὸς ὑμᾶς διὰ Μωυσῆ

3 φυγαδευτήριον τῷ φονευτῇ τῷ πατάξαντι ψυχὴν ἀκουσίως καὶ ἔσονται ὑμῖν αἱ πόλεις φυγαδευτήριον καὶ οὐκ ἀποθανεῖται ὁ φονευτὴς ὑπὸ τοῦ ἀγχιστεύοντος τὸ αἷμα ἕως ἂν καταστῇ ἐναντίον τῆς συναγωγῆς εἰς κρίσιν

7 καὶ διέστειλεν τὴν Καδης ἐν τῇ Γαλιλαίᾳ ἐν τῷ ὄρει τῷ Νεφθαλι καὶ Συχεμ ἐν τῷ ὄρει τῷ Εφραιμ καὶ τὴν πόλιν Αρβοκ αὕτη ἐστὶν Χεβρων ἐν τῷ ὄρει τῷ Ιουδα

8 καὶ ἐν τῷ πέραν τοῦ Ιορδάνου ἔδωκεν Βοσορ ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ ἐν τῷ πεδίῳ ἀπὸ τῆς φυλῆς Ρουβην καὶ Αρημωθ ἐν τῇ Γαλααδ ἐκ τῆς φυλῆς Γαδ καὶ τὴν Γαυλων ἐν τῇ Βασανίτιδι ἐκ τῆς φυλῆς Μανασση

9 αὗται αἱ πόλεις αἱ ἐπίκλητοι τοῖς υἱοῖς Ισραηλ καὶ τῷ προσηλύτῳ τῷ προσκειμένῳ ἐν αὐτοῖς καταφυγεῖν ἐκεῖ παντὶ παίοντι ψυχὴν ἀκουσίως ἵνα μὴ ἀποθάνῃ ἐν χειρὶ τοῦ ἀγχιστεύοντος τὸ αἷμα ἕως ἂν καταστῇ ἔναντι τῆς συναγωγῆς εἰς κρίσιν

1 Et locutus est Dominus ad Josue, dicens: Loquere filiis Israël, et dic eis:

2 Separate urbes fugitivorum, de quibus locutus sum ad vos per manum Moysi:

3 ut confugiat ad eas quicumque animam percusserit nescius, et possit evadere iram proximi, qui ultor est sanguinis:

4 cum ad unam harum confugerit civitatum, stabit ante portam civitatis, et loquetur senioribus urbis illius ea quæ se comprobent innocentem: sicque suscipient eum, et dabunt ei locum ad habitandum.

5 Cumque ultor sanguinis eum fuerit persecutus, non tradent in manus ejus: quia ignorans percussit proximum ejus, nec ante biduum triduumve ejus probatur inimicus.

6 Et habitabit in civitate illa, donec stet ante judicium, causam reddens facti sui, et moriatur sacerdos magnus, qui fuerit in illo tempore: tunc revertetur homicida, et ingredietur civitatem et domum suam de qua fugerat.

7 Decreveruntque Cedes in Galilæa montis Nephthali, et Sichem in monte Ephraim, et Cariatharbe, ipsa est Hebron in monte Juda.

8 Et trans Jordanem contra orientalem plagam Jericho, statuerunt Bosor, quæ sita est in campestri solitudine de tribu Ruben, et Ramoth in Galaad de tribu Gad, et Gaulon in Basan de tribu Manasse.

9 Hæ civitates constitutæ sunt cunctis filiis Israël, et advenis qui habitabant inter eos, ut fugeret ad eas qui animam nescius percussisset, et non moreretur in manu proximi, effusum sanguinem vindicare cupientis, donec staret ante populum expositurus causam suam.
