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 unwittingly^{1097 1847} may flee⁵¹²⁷ thither:⁸⁰³³ and they shall be¹⁹⁶¹ your refuge⁴⁷³³ from the avenger^{4480 1350} of blood.¹⁸¹⁸

4  And when he that doth flee⁵¹²⁷ unto⁴¹³ one²⁵⁹ of those⁴²⁸ cities^{4480 5892} shall stand⁵⁹⁷⁵ at the entering⁶⁶⁰⁷ of the gate⁸¹⁷⁹ of the city,⁵⁸⁹² and shall declare^{1696 853} his cause¹⁶⁹⁷ in the ears²⁴¹ of the elders²²⁰⁵ of that¹⁹³¹ city,⁵⁸⁹² they shall take⁶²² him into the city⁵⁸⁹² unto them, and give^{5414 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 deliver^{5462 853} the slayer⁷⁵²³ up into his hand;³⁰²⁷ because³⁵⁸⁸ he smote^{5221 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 whence^{834 4480 8033} he fled.⁵¹²⁷

7  And they appointed^{6942 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 side^{4480 5676} Jordan³³⁸³ by Jericho³⁴⁰⁵ eastward,⁴²¹⁷ they assigned^{5414 853} Bezer¹²²¹ in the wilderness⁴⁰⁵⁷ upon the plain⁴³³⁴ out of the tribe^{4480 4294} of Reuben,⁷²⁰⁵ and Ramoth⁷²¹⁶ in Gilead¹⁵⁶⁸ out of the tribe^{4480 4294} of Gad,¹⁴¹⁰ and Golan¹⁴⁷⁴ in Bashan¹³¹⁶ out of the tribe^{4480 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.
