Numbers 35

Numbers 35

1 - 8 Cities for the Levites

The Lord tells Moses the dimensions of the towns. The Levites shall have six cities of refuge plus 42 towns to total 48.

9 - 15 Cities of Refuge

The cities of refuge are "so, there is a that a slayer who kills a person without intent may flee there." There will be six of them.

16 - 34 Concerning Murder and Blood Revenge

Anyone who strikes someone with an iron object is a murderer and shall be put to death. This also applies to one with a stone in the hand, a weapon of wood. Also on this list are if someone "pushes another in hatre, or hurls something at another", or strikes in emnity with the hand.

If he kills without emnity there is a process of retribution.

33-34. "You shall not pollute the land in which you live; for blood pollutes the land, and no expiation can be made for the land, for the blood that is shed in it, except by the blood of the one who shed it. You shall not defile the land in which you live, in which I also dwell; for I the Lord dwell among the Israelites."
