Bible. Deuteronomy
019:003 You shall prepare you the way, and divide the borders of your land,
which Yahweh your God causes you to inherit, into three parts,
that every manslayer may flee there.
019:004 This is the case of the manslayer, that shall flee there and live:
whoever kills his neighbor unawares, and didn't hate him
in time past;
019:005 as when a man goes into the forest with his neighbor to hew wood,
and his hand fetches a stroke with the axe to cut down the tree,
and the head slips from the handle, and lights on his neighbor,
so that he dies; he shall flee to one of these cities and live:
019:006 lest the avenger of blood pursue the manslayer, while his
heart is hot, and overtake him, because the way is long,
and strike him mortally; whereas he was not worthy of death,
inasmuch as he didn't hate him in time past.
019:007 Therefore I command you, saying, You shall set apart three
cities for you.
019:008 If Yahweh your God enlarge your border, as he has sworn
to your fathers, and give you all the land which he promised
to give to your fathers;
019:009 if you shall keep all this commandment to do it, which I command
you this day, to love Yahweh your God, and to walk ever
in his ways; then shall you add three cities more for you,
besides these three:
019:010 that innocent blood not be shed in the midst of your land,
which Yahweh your God gives you for an inheritance,
and so blood be on you.
019:011 But if any man hate his neighbor, and lie in wait for him,
and rise up against him, and strike him mortally so that he dies,
and he flee into one of these cities;
019:012 then the elders of his city shall send and bring him there,
and deliver him into the hand of the avenger of blood,
that he may die.
019:013 Your eye shall not pity him, but you shall put away the innocent
blood from Israel, that it may go well with you.
019:014 You shall not remove your neighbor's landmark, which they of old
time have set, in your inheritance which you shall inherit,
in the land that Yahweh your God gives you to possess it.
019:015 One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity,
or for any sin, in any sin that he sins: at the mouth
of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses,
shall a matter be established.
019:016 If an unrighteous witness rise up against any man to testify
against him of wrong-doing,
019:017 then both the men, between whom the controversy is, shall stand
before Yahweh, before the priests and the judges who shall
be in those days;
019:018 and the judges shall make diligent inquisition: and, behold,
if the witness is a false witness, and has testified falsely
against his brother;
019:019 then shall you do to him, as he had thought to do to his brother:
