35:28 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.
35:29 So these things shall be for a statute of judgment unto you
throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
35:30 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.
35:31 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.
35:32 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.
35:33 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.
35:34 Defile not therefore the land which ye shall inhabit, wherein I
dwell: for I the LORD dwell among the children of Israel.
36:1 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:
36:2 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.
36:3 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.
36:4 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.
36:5 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.
36:6 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.
36:7 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.
36:8 And every daughter, that possesseth an inheritance in any tribe of
the children of Israel, shall be wife unto one of the family of the
tribe of her father, that the children of Israel may enjoy every man the
inheritance of his fathers.
