Deuteronomy 19:1 - Prayer Tents

19When the LORD thy God hath cut off the nations, whose land the LORD thy God giveth thee, and thou succeedest them, and dwellest in their cities, and in their houses;H3068H430H3772H1471H776H3068H430H5414H3423H3427H5892H1004 2Thou shalt separate three cities for thee in the midst of thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it.H914H7969H5892H8432H776H3068H430H5414H3423 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.H3559H1870H1366H776H3068H430H5157H8027H7523H5127 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;H1697H7523H5127H2425H5221H7453H1097H1847H8130H8543H8032 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:H935H3293H7453H2404H6086H3027H5080H1631H3772H6086H1270H5394H6086H4672H7453H4191H5127H259H5892H2425 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.H1350H1818H7291H310H7523H3588H3824H3179H5381H1870H7235H5221H5315H4941H4194H3588H8130H8543H8032 7Wherefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt separate three cities for thee.H6680H559H914H7969H5892 8And if the LORD thy God enlarge thy coast, as he hath sworn unto thy fathers, and give thee all the land which he promised to give unto thy fathers;H3068H430H7337H1366H7650H1H5414H776H1696H5414H1 9If thou shalt keep all these commandments to do them, which I command thee this day, to love the LORD thy God, and to walk ever in his ways; then shalt thou add three cities more for thee, beside these three:H8104H4687H6213H6680H3117H157H3068H430H3212H3117H1870H3254H7969H5892H7969 10That innocent blood be not shed in thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and so blood be upon thee.H5355H1818H8210H7130H776H3068H430H5414H5159H1818 11But if any man hate his neighbour, and lie in wait for him, and rise up against him, and smite him mortally that he die, and fleeth into one of these cities:H376H8130H7453H693H6965H5221H5315H4191H5127H259H411H5892 12Then the elders of his city shall send and fetch him thence, and deliver him into the hand of the avenger of blood, that he may die.H2205H5892H7971H3947H5414H3027H1350H1818H4191 13Thine eye shall not pity him, but thou shalt put away the guilt of innocent blood from Israel, that it may go well with thee.H5869H2347H1197H5355H1818H3478H2895 14Thou shalt not remove thy neighbour's landmark, which they of old time have set in thine inheritance, which thou shalt inherit in the land that the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it.H5253H7453H1366H7223H1379H5159H5157H776H3068H430H5414H3423 15One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established.H259H5707H6965H376H5771H2403H2399H2398H6310H8147H5707H6310H7969H5707H1697H6965 16If a false witness rise up against any man to testify against him that which is wrong;H2555H5707H6965H376H6030H5627 17Then both the men, between whom the controversy is, shall stand before the LORD, before the priests and the judges, which shall be in those days;H8147H582H7379H5975H6440H3068H6440H3548H8199H3117 18And the judges shall make diligent inquisition: and, behold, if the witness be a false witness, and hath testified falsely against his brother;H8199H3190H1875H5707H8267H5707H6030H8267H251 19Then shall ye do unto him, as he had thought to have done unto his brother: so shalt thou put the evil away from among you.H6213H2161H6213H251H1197H7451H1197H7130 20And those which remain shall hear, and fear, and shall henceforth commit no more any such evil among you.H7604H8085H3372H3254H6213H1697H7451H7130 21And thine eye shall not pity; but life shall go for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.H5869H2347H5315H5315H5869H5869H8127H8127H3027H3027H7272H7272
