19:9 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:
19:10 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.
19:11 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:
19:12 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.
19:13 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.
19:14 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.
19:15 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.
19:16 If a false witness rise up against any man to testify against him
that which is wrong;
19:17 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;
19:18 And the judges shall make diligent inquisition: and, behold, if
the witness be a false witness, and hath testified falsely against his
brother;
19:19 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.
19:20 And those which remain shall hear, and fear, and shall henceforth
commit no more any such evil among you.
19:21 And thine eye shall not pity; but life shall go for life, eye for
eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
20:1 When thou goest out to battle against thine enemies, and seest
horses, and chariots, and a people more than thou, be not afraid of
them: for the LORD thy God is with thee, which brought thee up out of
the land of Egypt.
20:2 And it shall be, when ye are come nigh unto the battle, that the
priest shall approach and speak unto the people,
20:3 And shall say unto them, Hear, O Israel, ye approach this day unto
battle against your enemies: let not your hearts faint, fear not, and do
not tremble, neither be ye terrified because of them;
20:4 For the LORD your God is he that goeth with you, to fight for you
against your enemies, to save you.
20:5 And the officers shall speak unto the people, saying, What man is
there that hath built a new house, and hath not dedicated it? let him go
and return to his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man
dedicate it.
