05:019:004 And this is the case of the slayer, which shall flee thither,
           that he may live:  Whoso killeth his neighbour ignorantly, whom
           he hated not in time past;

05:019:005 As when a man goeth into the wood with his neighbour to hew
           wood, and his hand fetcheth a stroke with the axe to cut down
           the tree, and the head slippeth from the helve, and lighteth
           upon his neighbour, that he die; he shall flee unto one of
           those cities, and live: 

05:019:006 Lest the avenger of the blood pursue the slayer, while his
           heart is hot, and overtake him, because the way is long, and
           slay him; whereas he was not worthy of death, inasmuch as he
           hated him not in time past.

05:019:007 Wherefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt separate three
           cities for thee.

05:019:008 And if the lord thy God enlarge thy coast, as he hath sworn
           unto thy fathers, and give thee all the land which he promised
           to give unto thy fathers;

05:019:009 If thou shalt keep all these commandments to do them, which I
           command thee this day, to love the lord thy God, and to walk
           ever in his ways; then shalt thou add three cities more for
           thee, beside these three: 

05:019:010 That innocent blood be not shed in thy land, which the lord
           thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and so blood be upon
           thee.

05:019:011 But if any man hate his neighbour, and lie in wait for him,
           and rise up against him, and smite him mortally that he die,
           and fleeth into one of these cities: 

05:019:012 Then the elders of his city shall send and fetch him thence,
           and deliver him into the hand of the avenger of blood, that he
           may die.

05:019:013 Thine eye shall not pity him, but thou shalt put away the
           guilt of innocent blood from Israel, that it may go well with
           thee.

05:019:014 Thou shalt not remove thy neighbour’s landmark, which they of
           old time have set in thine inheritance, which thou shalt
           inherit in the land that the lord thy God giveth thee to
           possess it.

05:019:015 One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity,
           or for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth:  at the mouth of
           two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the
           matter be established.

05:019:016 If a false witness rise up against any man to testify against
           him that which is wrong;

05:019:017 Then both the men, between whom the controversy is, shall
           stand before the lord, before the priests and the judges,
           which shall be in those days;
