4 And your border shall turn from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass on to Zin: and
the going forth thereof shall be from the south to Kadeshbarnea, and shall go on to Hazaraddar,
and pass on to Azmon:
5 And the border shall fetch a compass from Azmon unto the river of Egypt, and the goings out
of it shall be at the sea.
6 And as forthe western border, ye shall even have the great sea for a border: this shall be
your west border.
7 And this shall be your north border: from the great sea ye shall point out for you mount Hor:
8 From mount Hor ye shall point out your borderunto the entrance of Hamath; and the goings
forth of the border shall be to Zedad:
9 And the border shall go on to Ziphron, and the goings out of it shall be at Hazarenan: this shall
be your north border.
10 And ye shall point out your east border from Hazarenan to Shepham:
11 And the coast shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain; and the border
shall descend, and shall reach unto the side of the sea of Chinnereth eastward:
12 And the border shall go down to Jordan, and the goings out of it shall be at the salt sea: this
shall be your land with the coasts thereof round about.
13 And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, This isthe land which ye shall inherit
by lot, which the LORD commanded to give unto the nine tribes, and to the half tribe:
14 For the tribe of the children of Reuben according to the house of their fathers, and the tribe
of the children of Gad according to the house of their fathers, have received their inheritance;
and half the tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance:
15 The two tribes and the half tribe have received their inheritance on this side Jordan near
Jericho eastward, toward the sunrising.
16 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
17 These arethe names of the men which shall divide the land unto you: Eleazar the priest, and
Joshua the son of Nun.
18 And ye shall take one prince of every tribe, to divide the land by inheritance.
19 And the names of the men arethese: Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.
20 And of the tribe of the children of Simeon, Shemuel the son of Ammihud.
21 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon.
22 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Dan, Bukki the son of Jogli.
23 The prince of the children of Joseph, for the tribe of the children of Manasseh, Hanniel the
son of Ephod.
24 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Ephraim, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan.
25 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Zebulun, Elizaphan the son of Parnach.
26 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Issachar, Paltiel the son of Azzan.
27 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Asher, Ahihud the son of Shelomi.
28 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Naphtali, Pedahel the son of Ammihud.
29 These are theywhom the LORD commanded to divide the inheritance unto the children of
Israel in the land of Canaan.
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan nearJericho, saying,
2 Command the children of Israel, that they give unto the Levites of the inheritance of their
possession cities to dwell in; and ye shall give alsounto the Levites suburbs for the cities
round about them.
3 And the cities shall they have to dwell in; and the suburbs of them shall be for their cattle,
and for their goods, and for all their beasts.
4 And the suburbs of the cities, which ye shall give unto the Levites, shall reachfrom the wall
of the city and outward a thousand cubits round about.

5 And ye shall measure from without the city on the east side two thousand cubits, and on the
south side two thousand cubits, and on the west side two thousand cubits, and on the north side
two thousand cubits; and the city shall bein the midst: this shall be to them the suburbs of the
cities.
6 And among the cities which ye shall give unto the Levites there shall besix cities for refuge,
which ye shall appoint for the manslayer, that he may flee thither: and to them ye shall add
forty and two cities.
7 Soall the cities which ye shall give to the Levites shall beforty and eight cities: them shall
ye givewith their suburbs.
8 And the cities which ye shall give shall beof the possession of the children of Israel: from
them that havemany ye shall give many; but from them that havefew ye shall give few: every
one shall give of his cities unto the Levites according to his inheritance which he inheriteth.
9 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
10 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come over Jordan into the
land of Canaan;
11 Then ye shall appoint you cities to be cities of refuge for you; that the slayer may flee
thither, which killeth any person at unawares.
12 And they shall be unto you cities for refuge from the avenger; that the manslayer die not,
until he stand before the congregation in judgment.
13 And of these cities which ye shall give six cities shall ye have for refuge.
14 Ye shall give three cities on this side Jordan, and three cities shall ye give in the land of
Canaan, whichshall be cities of refuge.
15 These six cities shall be a refuge, bothfor the children of Israel, and for the stranger, and
for the sojourner among them: that every one that killeth any person unawares may flee thither.
16 And if he smite him with an instrument of iron, so that he die, he isa murderer: the
murderer shall surely be put to death.
17 And if he smite him with throwing a stone, wherewith he may die, and he die, he isa
murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
18 Or ifhe smite him with an hand weapon of wood, wherewith he may die, and he die, he isa
murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
19 The revenger of blood himself shall slay the murderer: when he meeteth him, he shall slay
him.
20 But if he thrust him of hatred, or hurl at him by laying of wait, that he die;
21 Or in enmity smite him with his hand, that he die: he that smote himshall surely be put to
death; forhe isa murderer: the revenger of blood shall slay the murderer, when he meeteth him.
22 But if he thrust him suddenly without enmity, or have cast upon him any thing without
laying of wait,
23 Or with any stone, wherewith a man may die, seeing himnot, and cast itupon him, that he
die, and wasnot his enemy, neither sought his harm:
24 Then the congregation shall judge between the slayer and the revenger of blood according to
these judgments:
25 And the congregation shall deliver the slayer out of the hand of the revenger of blood, and
the congregation shall restore him to the city of his refuge, whither he was fled: and he shall
abide in it unto the death of the high priest, which was anointed with the holy oil.
26 But if the slayer shall at any time come without the border of the city of his refuge,
whither he was fled;
27 And the revenger of blood find him without the borders of the city of his refuge, and the
revenger of blood kill the slayer; he shall not be guilty of blood:
28 Because he should have remained in the city of his refuge until the death of the high priest:

but after the death of the high priest the slayer shall return into the land of his possession.
29 So these thingsshall be for a statute of judgment unto you throughout your generations in
all your dwellings.
30 Whoso killeth any person, the murderer shall be put to death by the mouth of witnesses: but
one witness shall not testify against any person to cause himto die.
31 Moreover ye shall take no satisfaction for the life of a murderer, which isguilty of death:
but he shall be surely put to death.
32 And ye shall take no satisfaction for him that is fled to the city of his refuge, that he
should come again to dwell in the land, until the death of the priest.
33 So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye are: for blood it defileth the land: and the land
cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it.
34 Defile not therefore the land which ye shall inhabit, wherein I dwell: for I the LORD dwell
among the children of Israel.
1 And the chief fathers of the families of the children of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of
Manasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph, came near, and spake before Moses, and before
the princes, the chief fathers of the children of Israel:
2 And they said, The LORD commanded my lord to give the land for an inheritance by lot to the
children of Israel: and my lord was commanded by the LORD to give the inheritance of
Zelophehad our brother unto his daughters.
3 And if they be married to any of the sons of the othertribes of the children of Israel, then
shall their inheritance be taken from the inheritance of our fathers, and shall be put to the
inheritance of the tribe whereunto they are received: so shall it be taken from the lot of our
inheritance.
4 And when the jubile of the children of Israel shall be, then shall their inheritance be put unto
the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they are received: so shall their inheritance be taken
away from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers.
5 And Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the word of the LORD, saying, The
tribe of the sons of Joseph hath said well.
6 This isthe thing which the LORD doth command concerning the daughters of Zelophehad,
saying, Let them marry to whom they think best; only to the family of the tribe of their father
shall they marry.
7 So shall not the inheritance of the children of Israel remove from tribe to tribe: for every one
of the children of Israel shall keep himself to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.
8 And every daughter, that possesseth an inheritance in any tribe of the children of Israel,
shall be wife unto one of the family of the tribe of her father, that the children of Israel may
enjoy every man the inheritance of his fathers.
9 Neither shall the inheritance remove from onetribe to another tribe; but every one of the
tribes of the children of Israel shall keep himself to his own inheritance.
10 Even as the LORD commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad:
11 For Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were
married unto their father's brothers' sons:
12 Andthey were married into the families of the sons of Manasseh the son of Joseph, and
their inheritance remained in the tribe of the family of their father.
13 These arethe commandments and the judgments, which the LORD commanded by the hand of
Moses unto the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by Jordan nearJericho.
