and he shall dwell therein until the death of the high priest,
who was anointed with the holy oil.
035:026 But if the manslayer shall at any time go beyond the border
of his city of refuge, where he flees,
035:027 and the avenger of blood find him outside of the border of his
city of refuge, and the avenger of blood kill the manslayer;
he shall not be guilty of blood,
035:028 because he should have remained in his city of refuge
until the death of the high priest: but after the death
of the high priest the manslayer shall return into the land
of his possession.
035:029 These things shall be for a statute [and] ordinance to you
throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
035:030 Whoever kills any person, the murderer shall be slain at
the mouth of witnesses: but one witness shall not testify
against any person that he die.
035:031 Moreover you shall take no ransom for the life of a murderer
who is guilty of death; but he shall surely be put to death.
035:032 You shall take no ransom for him who is fled to his city
of refuge, that he may come again to dwell in the land,
until the death of the priest.
035:033 So you shall not pollute the land in which you are:
for blood, it pollutes the land; and no expiation can
be made for the land for the blood that is shed therein,
but by the blood of him who shed it.
035:034 You shall not defile the land which you inhabit, in the midst
of which I dwell: for I, Yahweh, dwell in the midst of
the children of Israel.
036:001 The heads of the fathers' [houses] of the family of the
children of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh,
of the families of the sons of Joseph, came near, and spoke
before Moses, and before the princes, the heads of the fathers'
[houses] of the children of Israel:
036:002 and they said, Yahweh commanded my lord to give the land
for inheritance by lot to the children of Israel:
and my lord was commanded by Yahweh to give the inheritance
of Zelophehad our brother to his daughters.
036:003 If they be married to any of the sons of the [other] tribes
of the children of Israel, then will their inheritance be taken
away from the inheritance of our fathers, and will be added
to the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they shall belong:
so will it be taken away from the lot of our inheritance.
036:004 When the jubilee of the children of Israel shall be, then will
their inheritance be added to the inheritance of the tribe
whereunto they shall belong: so will their inheritance be
taken away from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers.
036:005 Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the word
of Yahweh, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph speaks right.
