35:3. Cities to dwell in, and their suburbs round about: that they may abide in the towns, and the suburbs may be for them cattle and beasts: 35:4. Which suburbs shall reach from the walls of the cities outward, a thousand paces on every side: 35:5. Toward the east shall be two thousand cubits: and toward the south in like manner shall be two thousand cubits: toward the sea also, which looketh to the west, shall be the same extent: and the north side shall be bounded with the like limits. And the cities shall be in the midst, and the suburbs without. 35:6. And among the cities, which you shall give to the Levites, six shall be separated for refuge to fugitives, that he who hath shed blood may flee to them: and besides these there shall be other forty-two cities, 35:7. That is, in all forty-eight with their suburbs. 35:8. And of these cities which shall be given out of the possessions of the children of Israel, from them that have more, more shall be taken: and from them that have less, fewer. Each shall give towns to the Levites according to the extent of their inheritance. 35:9. The Lord said to Moses: 35:10. Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: When you shall have passed over the Jordan into the land of Chanaan, 35:11. Determine what cities shall be for the refuge of fugitives, who have shed blood against their will. 35:12. And when the fugitive shall be in them, the kinsman of him that is slain may not have power to kill him, until he stand before the multitude, and his cause be judged. 35:13. And of those cities, that are separated for the refuge of fugitives, 35:14. Three shall be beyond the Jordan, and three in the land of Chanaan, 35:15. As well for the children of Israel as for strangers and sojourners, that he may flee to them, who hath shed blood against his will. 35:16. If any man strike with iron, and he die that was struck: he shall be guilty of murder, and he himself shall die. 35:17. If he throw a stone, and he that is struck die: he shall be punished in the same manner. 35:18. If he that is struck with wood die: he shall be revenged by the blood of him that struck him. 35:19. The kinsman of him that was slain, shall kill the murderer: as soon as he apprehendeth him, he shall kill him. 35:20. If through hatred any one push a man, or fling any thing at him with ill design: 35:21. Or being his enemy, strike him with his hand, and he die: the striker shall be guilty of murder: the kinsman of him that was slain as soon as he findeth him, shall kill him. 35:22. But if by chance medley, and without hatred, 35:23. And enmity, he do any of these things, 35:24. And this be proved in the hearing of the people, and the cause be debated between him that struck, and the next of kin:
