| 18:22 | אֲשֶׁר יְדַבֵּר הַנָּבִיא בְּשֵׁם יְהוָה וְלֹא־יִהְיֶה הַדָּבָר וְלֹא יָבוֹא הוּא הַדָּבָר אֲשֶׁר לֹא־דִבְּרוֹ יְהוָה בְּזָדוֹן דִּבְּרוֹ הַנָּבִיא לֹא תָגוּר מִמֶּנּוּ ס | Asher yedaber hanavi beshem Adonay velo-yiheyeh hadavar velo yavo hu hadavar asher lo-dibro Adonay bezadon dibero hanavi lo tagur mimenu. | When a prophet speaks in the name of the Eternal, and the thing does not follow, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the Eternal has not spoken; the prophet has spoken it presumptuously, you shall not be afraid of him. |
| 19:1 | כִּי־יַכְרִית יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ אֶת־הַגּוֹיִם אֲשֶׁר יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ נֹתֵן לְךָ אֶת־אַרְצָם וִירִשְׁתָּם וְיָשַׁבְתָּ בְעָרֵיהֶם וּבְבָתֵּיהֶם | Ki-yakhrit Adonay Eloheykha et-hagoyim asher Adonay Eloheykha noten lekha et-artsam virishtam veyashavta ve'areyhem uvevateyhem. | When the Eternal, your God, has cut off the nations whose land the Eternal, your God, gives you, and you succeed them, and dwell in their cities, and in their houses, |
| 19:2 | שָׁלוֹשׁ עָרִים תַּבְדִּיל לָךְ בְּתוֹךְ אַרְצְךָ אֲשֶׁר יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ נֹתֵן לְךָ לְרִשְׁתָּהּ | Shalosh arim tavdil lakh betokh artsekha asher Adonay Eloheykha noten lekha lerishtah. | you shall set apart three cities for yourself in the midst of your land, which the Eternal, your God, gives you to possess. |
| 19:3 | תָּכִין לְךָ הַדֶּרֶךְ וְשִׁלַּשְׁתָּ אֶת־גְּבוּל אַרְצְךָ אֲשֶׁר יַנְחִילְךָ יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ וְהָיָה לָנוּס שָׁמָּה כָּל־רֹצֵחַ | Takhin lekha haderekh veshilashta et-gvul artsekha asher yankhilkha Adonay Eloheykha vehayah lanus shamah kol-rotse'akh. | You shall prepare the way for yourself, and divide the borders of your land, which the Eternal, your God, causes you to inherit, into three parts, so that any manslayer may flee there. |
| 19:4 | וְזֶה דְּבַר הָרֹצֵחַ אֲשֶׁר־יָנוּס שָׁמָּה וָחָי אֲשֶׁר יַכֶּה אֶת־רֵעֵהוּ בִּבְלִי־דַעַת וְהוּא לֹא־שֹׂנֵא לוֹ מִתְּמֹל שִׁלְשֹׁם | Vezeh dvar harotse'akh asher-yanus shamah vakhay asher yakeh et-re'ehu bivli-da'at vehu lo-sone lo mitmol shilshom. | And this is the case of the manslayer who shall flee there and live: whoever strikes his neighbor unintentionally, whom he did not hate in times past; |
| 19:5 | וַאֲשֶׁר יָבֹא אֶת־רֵעֵהוּ בַיַּעַר לַחְטֹב עֵצִים וְנִדְּחָה יָדוֹ בַגַּרְזֶן לִכְרֹת הָעֵץ וְנָשַׁל הַבַּרְזֶל מִן־הָעֵץ וּמָצָא אֶת־רֵעֵהוּ וָמֵת הוּא יָנוּס אֶל־אַחַת הֶעָרִים־הָאֵלֶּה וָחָי | Va'asher yavo et-re'ehu vaya'ar lakhtov etsim venidekhah yado vagarzen likhrot ha'ets venashal habarzel min-ha'ets umatsa et-re'ehu vamet hu yanus el-akhat he'arim-ha'eleh vakhay. | as when a man goes into the forest with his neighbor to cut wood, and his hand fetches a stroke with the axe to cut down the tree, and the head slips from the handle, and strikes his neighbor, so that he dies; he shall flee to one of these cities and live; |
| 19:6 | פֶּן־יִרְדֹּף גֹּאֵל הַדָּם אַחֲרֵי הָרֹצֵחַ כִּי־יֵחַם לְבָבוֹ וְהִשִּׂיגוֹ כִּי־יִרְבֶּה הַדֶּרֶךְ וְהִכָּהוּ נָפֶשׁ וְלוֹ אֵין מִשְׁפַּט־מָוֶת כִּי לֹא שֹׂנֵא הוּא לוֹ מִתְּמוֹל שִׁלְשׁוֹם | Pen-yirdof go'el hadam akharey harotse'akh ki yekham levavo vehisigo ki-yirbeh haderekh vehikahu nafesh velo eyn mishpat-mavet ki lo sone hu lo mitmol shilshom. | lest the avenger of blood pursue the manslayer while his heart is hot, and overtake him, because the way is long, and strike him mortally, though he was not deserving of death, since he did not hate him in times past. |
| 19:7 | עַל־כֵּן אָנֹכִי מְצַוְּךָ לֵאמֹר שָׁלֹשׁ עָרִים תַּבְדִּיל לָךְ ס | Al-ken anokhi metsavekha lemor shalosh arim tavdil lakh. | Therefore I command you, saying, You shall set apart three cities for yourself. |
| 19:8 | וְאִם־יַרְחִיב יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ אֶת־גְּבֻלְךָ כַּאֲשֶׁר נִשְׁבַּע לַאֲבֹתֶיךָ וְנָתַן לְךָ אֶת־כָּל־הָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר לָתֵת לַאֲבֹתֶיךָ | Ve'im-yarkhiv Adonay Eloheykha et-gvulekha ka'asher nishba la'avoteykha venatan lekha et-kol-ha'arets asher diber latet la'avoteykha. | And if the Eternal, your God, enlarges your border, as He has sworn to your fathers, and gives you all the land which He promised to give to your fathers, |
| 19:9 | כִּי־תִשְׁמֹר אֶת־כָּל־הַמִּצְוָה הַזֹּאת לַעֲשֹׂתָהּ אֲשֶׁר אָנֹכִי מְצַוְּךָ הַיּוֹם לְאַהֲבָה אֶת־יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ וְלָלֶכֶת בִּדְרָכָיו כָּל־הַיָּמִים וְיָסַפְתָּ לְךָ עוֹד שָׁלֹשׁ עָרִים עַל הַשָּׁלֹשׁ הָאֵלֶּה | Ki-tishmor et-kol-hamitsvah hazot la'asotah asher anokhi metsavekha hayom le'ahavah et-Adonay Eloheykha velalekhet bidrakhav kol-hayamim veyasafta lekha od shalosh arim al hashalosh ha'eleh. | if you keep all this commandment to do it, which I command you this day, to love the Eternal, your God, and to walk always in His ways, then you shall add three more cities for yourself, besides these three, |
| 19:10 | וְלֹא יִשָּׁפֵךְ דָּם נָקִי בְּקֶרֶב אַרְצְךָ אֲשֶׁר יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ נֹתֵן לְךָ נַחֲלָה וְהָיָה עָלֶיךָ דָּמִים ס | Velo yishafekh dam naki bekerev artsekha asher Adonay Eloheykha noten lekha nakhalah vehayah aleykha damim. | that innocent blood not be shed in the midst of your land, which the Eternal, your God, gives you for an inheritance, and blood be upon you. |
| 19:11 | וְכִי־יִהְיֶה אִישׁ שֹׂנֵא לְרֵעֵהוּ וְאָרַב לוֹ וְקָם עָלָיו וְהִכָּהוּ נֶפֶשׁ וָמֵת וְנָס אֶל־אַחַת הֶעָרִים הָאֵל | Vekhi-yiheyeh ish sone lere'ehu ve'arav lo vekam alav vehikahu nefesh vamet venas el-akhat he'arim ha'el. | But if any man hates his neighbor, and lies in wait for him, and rises up against him, and strikes him mortally, so that he dies, and flees into one of these cities, |
| 19:12 | וְשָׁלְחוּ זִקְנֵי עִירוֹ וְלָקְחוּ אֹתוֹ מִשָּׁם וְנָתְנוּ אֹתוֹ בְּיַד גֹּאֵל הַדָּם וָמֵת | Veshalekhu zikney iro velakekhu oto misham venatnu oto beyad go'el hadam vamet. | then the elders of his city shall send and take him from there, and deliver him into the hand of the avenger of blood, that he may die. |
| 19:13 | לֹא־תָחוֹס עֵינְךָ עָלָיו וּבִעַרְתָּ דַם־הַנָּקִי מִיִּשְׂרָאֵל וְטוֹב לָךְ ס | Lo-takhos eynekha alav uvi'arta dam-hanaki miYisra'el vetov lakh. | Your eye shall not pity him, but you shall put away the guilt of innocent blood from Israel, that it may go well with you. |

| 51:13 | וַתִּשְׁכַּח יְהוָה עֹשֶׂךָ נוֹטֶה שָׁמַיִם וְיֹסֵד אָרֶץ וַתְּפַחֵד תָּמִיד כָּל־הַיּוֹם מִפְּנֵי חֲמַת הַמֵּצִיק כַּאֲשֶׁר כּוֹנֵן לְהַשְׁחִית וְאַיֵּה חֲמַת הַמֵּצִיק | Vatishkakh Adonay osekha noteh shamayim veyosed arets vatefakhed tamid kol-hayom mipeney khamat hametsik ka'asher konen lehashkit ve'ayeh khamat hametsik. | And you have forgotten the Eternal your Maker, who stretched out the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth, and you fear continually every day because of the fury of the oppressor, as if he were ready to destroy; and where is the fury of the oppressor? |
| 51:14 | מִהַר צֹעֶה לְהִפָּתֵחַ וְלֹא־יָמוּת לַשַּׁחַת וְלֹא יֶחְסַר לַחְמוֹ | Mihar tso'eh lehipate'akh velo-yamut lashakhat velo yeksar lakhemo. | The captive exile shall speedily be released, and he shall not die and go down to the pit, nor shall his bread fail. |
