19 if/because he _will _cut _off YHWH god_your DOM the_nations which YHWH god_your [is]_about _to _give to/for_yourself(m) DOM land_whose and_dispossessed_them and_settled in/on/at/with_towns_their and_in/on/at/with_houses_their.
2 Three cities you _will _set _apart to/for_you(fs) in _the_middle land_your which YHWH god_your [is]_about _to _give to/for_yourself(m) to_possess_it.
3 You _will _establish to/for_yourself(m) the_roads and_divide _into _three _parts DOM the _territory land_your which gives _asa _possession_you YHWH god_your and_it _was to_flee there_to every killer.
4 And_this [will _be]_the _case the_manslayer who he _will _flee there_to and_live [one]_who he _will _strike _down DOM his/its_neighbour in/on/at/with_no knowledge and_he not [was]_hating to_him/it on_yesterday [the]_third _day.
5 And_which he _will _go with his/its_neighbour in/on/at/with_forest to_cut wood(s) and_swings his/its_hand in/on/at/with_axe to_cut _down the_tree and_slips the_head from the_tree and_strikes DOM his/its_neighbour and_dies he he _will _flee to one the_cities the_these and_live.
6 Lest he _should _pursue the _avenger the_blood after the_manslayer if/because it _will _be _hot heart _of_his and_overtake_him if/because it _will _be _great the_distance and_strike_him life and_to/for_him/it there _[belonged]_not a _sentence of _death if/because not [was]_hating he to_him/it on_yesterday [the]_third _day.
7 On/upon/above/on _account _of//he/it _went _in yes/correct/thus/so I command_you to_say three cities you _will _set _apart to/for_you(fs).
8 and_if he _will _enlarge YHWH god_your DOM territory_your just_as he _swore to_fathers_your and_he/it _gave to/for_yourself(m) DOM all the_earth/land which he _spoke to_give to_ancestors_your.
9 If/because you _will _keep DOM all the_commandment the_this to_follow_them which I command_you the_day by_loving DOM YHWH god_your and_to_walking in/on/at/with_ways_his all the_days and_add[fn][fn] to/for_yourself(m) again three cities to the_three the_these.
10 And_not it _will _be _shed blood innocent in/on/at/with_midst land_your which YHWH god_your [is]_about _to _give to/for_yourself(m) an _inheritance and_it _was on_you blood(s).
11 and_because/when he _will _be anyone hating with_neighbor_his and_lies _in _wait to_him/it and_rises _up on/upon/above_him/it and_strikes_him life and_dies and_flees to one the_cities the_these.
12 And_send the _elders city_his and_take DOM_him/it from_there and_give DOM_him/it in/on/at/with_hand of _the _avenger the_blood and_die.
13 Not it _will _look _with _pity eye_your on/upon/above_him/it and_purge the _blood the_innocent from_Yisrā^ʼēl/(Israel) and_good to/for_you(fs).
