04:035:027 And the revenger of blood find him without the borders of
the city of his refuge, and the revenger of blood kill the slayer; he
shall not be guilty of blood:
04:035:028 Because he should have remained in the city of his refuge
until the death of the high priest: but after the death of the high
priest the slayer shall return into the land of his possession.
04:035:029 So these things shall be for a statute of judgment unto you
throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
04:035:030 Whoso killeth any person, the murderer shall be put to death
by the mouth of witnesses: but one witness shall not testify against
any person to cause him to die.
04:035:031 Moreover ye shall take no satisfaction for the life of a
murderer, which is guilty of death: but he shall be surely put to
death.
04:035:032 And ye shall take no satisfaction for him that is fled to
the city of his refuge, that he should come again to dwell in the land,
until the death of the priest.
04:035:033 So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye are: for blood
it defileth the land: and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that
is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it.
04:035:034 Defile not therefore the land which ye shall inhabit,
wherein I dwell: for I the LORD dwell among the children of Israel.
04:036:001 And the chief fathers of the families of the children of
Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of the
sons of Joseph, came near, and spake before Moses, and before the
princes, the chief fathers of the children of Israel:
04:036:002 And they said, The LORD commanded my lord to give the land
for an inheritance by lot to the children of Israel: and my lord was
commanded by the LORD to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother
unto his daughters.
04:036:003 And if they be married to any of the sons of the other
tribes of the children of Israel, then shall their inheritance be taken
from the inheritance of our fathers, and shall be put to the
inheritance of the tribe whereunto they are received: so shall it be
taken from the lot of our inheritance.
04:036:004 And when the jubile of the children of Israel shall be, then
shall their inheritance be put unto the inheritance of the tribe
whereunto they are received: so shall their inheritance be taken away
from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers.
04:036:005 And Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the
word of the LORD, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph hath said
well.
04:036:006 This is the thing which the LORD doth command concerning the
daughters of Zelophehad, saying, Let them marry to whom they think
best; only to the family of the tribe of their father shall they marry.
04:036:007 So shall not the inheritance of the children of Israel
remove from tribe to tribe: for every one of the children of Israel
shall keep himself to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.
