When 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; 1 Deu 12:29Deu 6:10Deu 17:14Deu 7:1-2Deu 12:1 Thou shalt separate three cities for thee in the midst of thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it. Exo 21:13Deu 4:41-43Heb 6:18Jos 20:2-7Num 35:10-15 Thou 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. Isa 57:14Heb 12:13Isa 35:8Isa 62:10
¶ And 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; 2 Num 35:15-24Deu 4:421Ch 11:2Deu 19:6Gen 31:2Isa 30:33Jos 3:4 As 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: 3 5 4 2Ki 6:5-7Isa 32:2Num 35:25Pro 27:12 Lest 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. 6 7 Num 35:122Sa 14:7Deu 21:22Jer 26:15-16Jos 20:5 Wherefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt separate three cities for thee. And 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; Deu 12:20Exo 23:31Exo 34:24Gen 15:18-211Ki 4:21Deu 11:24-25Ezr 4:20Gen 28:14 If 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: Jos 20:7-8Deu 11:22-25Deu 12:32 That innocent blood be not shed in thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and so blood be upon thee. Isa 59:7Pro 6:17Mat 27:4-51Ki 2:312Ki 21:162Ki 24:4Deu 19:13Deu 21:1-9
¶ But 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: 8 Deu 27:24Num 35:16-21Exo 21:12-14Gen 9:6Num 35:24Pro 28:17 Then 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. 1Ki 2:28-341Ki 2:5-6 Thine eye shall not pity him, but thou shalt put away the guilt of innocent blood from Israel, that it may go well with thee. 1Ki 2:31Deu 21:9Deu 7:16Deu 7:22Sa 21:1Num 35:33-342Sa 21:14Deu 13:8
¶ Thou 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. Pro 22:28Deu 27:17Hos 5:10Job 24:2Pro 23:10
¶ One 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. Num 35:302Co 13:1Deu 17:6Heb 10:28Mat 18:161Ti 5:19Jhn 8:171Ki 21:10
¶ If a false witness rise up against any man to testify against him that which is wrong; 9 Psa 27:12Psa 35:11Exo 23:1-71Ki 21:10-13Act 6:13Mrk 14:55-59 Then 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; Deu 17:9Deu 21:5Mal 2:7Mat 23:2-3 And the judges shall make diligent inquisition: and, behold, if the witness be a false witness, and hath testified falsely against his brother; Deu 13:14Deu 17:42Ch 19:6-7Job 19:16 Then 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. Pro 19:5Pro 19:9Dan 6:24Deu 17:7Deu 22:24Deu 13:5Deu 19:20Deu 21:20-21 And those which remain shall hear, and fear, and shall henceforth commit no more any such evil among you.
