1When the Lord your God shall cut off the nations, whose land the Lord your God gives you, and you succeed them, and dwell in their cities, and in their houses;

stylus

2you shall set apart three cities for you in the midst of your land, which the Lord your God gives you to possess it.

stylus

Isaiah 57:14, Isaiah 57:14, Isaiah 35:8, Hebrews 12:13, Isaiah 62:10

stylus

Numbers 35:15, Numbers 35:24, Numbers 35:15, Numbers 35:24, Deuteronomy 4:42

5as when a man goes into the forest with his neighbor to chop 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:

stylus

2 Kings 6:5, 2 Kings 6:7, Proverbs 27:12, Isaiah 32:2, Numbers 35:25

6lest 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 did not hate him in time past.

stylus

Numbers 35:12, Numbers 35:12, Jeremiah 26:15, Jeremiah 26:16, 2 Samuel 14:7

7Therefore I command you, saying, You shall set apart three cities for yourselves.

8If the Lord your God enlarges your border, as he has sworn to your fathers, and gives you all the land which he promised to give to your fathers;

stylus

Genesis 15:18, Genesis 15:21, Deuteronomy 12:20, Exodus 23:31, Exodus 34:24

9if you keep all this commandment to do it, which I command you this day, to love the Lord your God, and to walk ever in his ways; then you shall add three cities more for yourselves, besides these three:

stylus

Joshua 20:7, Joshua 20:8, Joshua 20:7, Joshua 20:8, Deuteronomy 11:22

10that innocent blood not be shed in the midst of your land, which the Lord your God gives you for an inheritance, and so blood be on you.

stylus

Proverbs 6:17, Isaiah 59:7, Proverbs 6:17, Isaiah 59:7, Matthew 27:4

11But if any man hates his neighbor, and lies in wait for him, and rises up against him, and strikes him mortally so that he dies, and he flees into one of these cities;

stylus

Numbers 35:16, Numbers 35:21, Deuteronomy 27:24, Numbers 35:16, Numbers 35:21

12then 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.

stylus

1 Kings 2:28, 1 Kings 2:34, 1 Kings 2:5, 1 Kings 2:6, 1 Kings 2:28

13Your eye shall not pity him, but you shall put away the innocent blood from Israel, that it may go well with you.

stylus

1 Kings 2:31, 1 Kings 2:31, Deuteronomy 21:9, Deuteronomy 7:2, Deuteronomy 7:16

14You 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 the Lord your God gives you to possess it.

stylus

15One 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.

stylus

Numbers 35:30, Numbers 35:30, Deuteronomy 17:6, 2 Corinthians 13:1, Deuteronomy 17:6

16If an unrighteous witness rise up against any man to testify against him of wrongdoing,

stylus

Psalms 27:12, Psalms 27:12, Psalms 35:11, Psalms 35:11, Exodus 23:1

17then both the men, between whom the controversy is, shall stand before the Lord, before the priests and the judges who shall be in those days;

stylus

Deuteronomy 17:9, Deuteronomy 17:9, Deuteronomy 21:5, Deuteronomy 21:5, Malachi 2:7

18and the judges shall make diligent inquisition: and, behold, if the witness is a false witness, and has testified falsely against his brother;

stylus

Deuteronomy 13:14, Deuteronomy 17:4, Deuteronomy 13:14, Deuteronomy 17:4, Job 19:16

19then you shall do to him as he had thought to do to his brother: so you shall put away the evil from the midst of you.

stylus

Proverbs 19:5, Proverbs 19:5, Proverbs 19:9, Proverbs 19:9, Daniel 6:24
