King James Version (KJV) With Strong Codes

1. When[H3588] the LORD[H3068] thy God[H430] hath cut off[H3772] [H853] the nations,[H1471] whose[H834] [H853] land[H776] the LORD[H3068] thy God[H430] giveth[H5414] thee, and thou succeedest[H3423] them, and dwellest[H3427] in their cities,[H5892] and in their houses;[H1004]

2. Thou shalt separate[H914] three[H7969] cities[H5892] for thee in the midst[H8432] of thy land,[H776] which[H834] the LORD[H3068] thy God[H430] giveth[H5414] thee to possess[H3423] it.

3. Thou shalt prepare[H3559] thee a way,[H1870] and divide[H8027] [H853] the coasts[H1366] of thy land,[H776] which[H834] the LORD[H3068] thy God[H430] giveth thee to inherit,[H5157] into three parts, that every[H3605] slayer[H7523] may[H1961] flee[H5127] thither.[H8033]

4. And this[H2088] is the case[H1697] of the slayer,[H7523] which[H834] shall flee[H5127] thither,[H8033] that he may live:[H2425] Whoso[H834] killeth[H5221] [H853] his neighbor[H7453] ignorantly,[H1907] [H1947] whom he[H1931] hated[H8130] not[H3808] in time[H8032] past;[H4480] [H8657]

5. As when a man[H834] goeth[H935] into the wood[H3293] with[H854] his neighbor[H7453] to hew[H2404] wood,[H6086] and his hand[H3027] fetcheth a stroke[H5080] with the axe[H1631] to cut down[H3772] the tree,[H6086] and the head[H1270] slippeth[H5394] from[H4480] the helve,[H6086] and lighteth upon[H4672] [H853] his neighbor,[H7453] that he die;[H4191] he[H1931] shall flee[H5127] unto[H413] one[H259] of those[H428] cities,[H5892] and live: [H2425]

6. Lest[H6435] the avenger[H1350] of the blood[H1818] pursue[H7291] [H310] the slayer,[H7523] while[H3588] his heart[H3824] is hot,[H3179] and overtake[H5381] him, because[H3588] the way[H1870] is long,[H7235] and slay[H5221] him;[H5315] whereas he was not[H369] worthy of death,[H4941] [H4194] inasmuch as[H3588] he[H1931] hated[H8130] him not[H3808] in time[H8032] past.[H4480] [H8543]

7. Wherefore[H5921] [H3651] I[H595] command[H6680] thee, saying,[H559] Thou shalt separate[H914] three[H7969] cities[H5892] for thee.

8. And if[H518] the LORD[H3068] thy God[H430] enlarge[H7337] [H853] thy coast,[H1366] as[H834] he hath sworn[H7650] unto thy fathers,[H1] and give[H5414] thee[H853] all[H3605] the land[H776] which[H834] he promised[H1696] to give[H5414] unto thy fathers;[H1]

9. If[H3588] thou shalt keep[H8104] [H853] all[H3605] these[H2063] commandments[H4687] to do[H6213] them, which[H834] I[H595] command[H6680] thee this day,[H3117] to love[H157] [H853] the LORD[H3068] thy God,[H430] and to walk[H1980] ever[H3605] [H3117] in his ways;[H1870] then shalt thou add[H3254] three[H7969] cities[H5892] more[H5750] for thee, beside[H5921] these[H428] three: [H7969]

10. That innocent[H5355] blood[H1818] be not[H3808] shed[H8210] in[H7130] thy land,[H776] which[H834] the LORD[H3068] thy God[H430] giveth[H5414] thee for an inheritance,[H5159] and so blood[H1818] be[H1961] upon[H5921] thee.

11. But if[H3588] any man[H376] hate[H1961] [H8130] his neighbor,[H7453] and lie in wait[H693] for him, and rise up[H6965] against[H5921] him, and smite[H5221] him mortally[H5315] that he die,[H4191] and fleeth[H5127] into[H413] one[H259] of these[H411] cities: [H5892]

12. Then the elders[H2205] of his city[H5892] shall send[H7971] and fetch[H3947] him thence,[H4480] [H8033] and deliver[H5414] him into the hand[H3027] of the avenger[H1350] of blood,[H1818] that he may die.[H4191]

13. Thine eye[H5869] shall not[H3808] pity[H2347] [H5921] him, but thou shalt put away[H1197] the guilt of innocent[H5355] blood[H1818] from Israel,[H4480] [H3478] that it may go well[H2895] with thee.

14. Thou shalt not[H3808] remove[H5253] thy neighbor's[H7453] landmark,[H1366] which[H834] they of old time[H7223] have set[H1379] in thine inheritance,[H5159] which[H834] thou shalt inherit[H5157] in the land[H776] that[H834] the LORD[H3068] thy God[H430] giveth[H5414] thee to possess[H3423] it.

15. One[H259] witness[H5707] shall not[H3808] rise up[H6965] against a man[H376] for any[H3605] iniquity,[H5771] or for any[H3605] sin,[H2403] in any[H3605] sin[H2399] that[H834] he sinneth:[H2398] at[H5921] the mouth[H6310] of two[H8147] witnesses,[H5707] or[H176] at[H5921] the mouth[H6310] of three[H7969] witnesses,[H5707] shall the matter[H1697] be established.[H6965]

16. If[H3588] a false[H2555] witness[H5707] rise up[H6965] against any man[H376] to testify[H6030] against him that which is wrong;[H5627]

17. Then both[H8147] the men,[H376] between whom[H834] the controversy[H7379] is, shall stand[H5975] before[H6440] the LORD,[H3068] before[H6440] the priests[H3548] and the judges,[H8199] which[H834] shall be[H1961] in those[H1992] days;[H3117]

18. And the judges[H8199] shall make diligent inquisition:[H1875] [H3190] and, behold,[H2009] if the witness[H5707] be a false[H8267] witness,[H5707] and hath testified[H6030] falsely[H8267] against his brother;[H251]

19. Then shall ye do[H6213] unto him, as[H834] he had thought[H2161] to have done[H6213] unto his brother:[H251] so shalt thou put the evil away[H1197] [H7451] from among[H4480] [H7130] you.

20. And those which remain[H7604] shall hear,[H8085] and fear,[H3372] and shall henceforth[H3254] commit[H6213] no[H3808] more[H5750] any[H1697] such[H2088] evil[H7451] among[H7130] you.

21. And thine eye[H5869] shall not[H3808] pity;[H2347] but life[H5315] shall go for life,[H5315] eye[H5869] for eye,[H5869] tooth[H8127] for tooth,[H8127] hand[H3027] for hand,[H3027] foot[H7272] for foot.[H7272]
