Basic HTML Version
blood be not shed in thy land, which the L
ORD
thy God giveth thee
for
an inheritance, and
so
blood
be upon thee.
11
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:
12
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.
13
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.
14
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 L
ORD
thy God giveth thee to possess it.
15
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.
16
If a false witness rise up against any man to testify against him
that which is
wrong;
17
Then
both the men, between whom the controversy
is,
shall stand before the L
ORD
, before the priests and
the judges, which shall be in those days;
18
And the judges shall make diligent inquisition: and,
behold,
if
the witness
be
a false witness,
and
hath testified falsely against his brother;
19
Then shall
ye do unto him, as he had thought to have done unto his brother: so shalt thou put the evil away
from among you.
20
And those which remain shall hear, and fear, and shall henceforth commit no
more any such evil among you.
21
And thine eye shall not pity;
but
life
shall go
for life, eye for
eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
CHAPTER 20
When thou goest out to battle against thine enemies, and seest horses, and chariots,
and
a people
more than thou, be not afraid of them: for the L
ORD
thy God
is
with thee, which brought thee up
out of the land of Egypt.
2
And it shall be, when ye are come nigh unto the battle, that the priest
shall approach and speak unto the people,
3
And shall say unto them, Hear, O Israel, ye approach
this day unto battle against your enemies: let not your hearts faint, fear not, and do not tremble,

4
For the L
ORD
your God
is
he that goeth with you, to fight
for you against your enemies, to save you.
5
And the officers shall speak unto the people, saying, What man
is there
that hath built a new
house, and hath not dedicated it? let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle, and
another man dedicate it.
6
And what man
is he
that hath planted a vineyard, and hath not
yet
eaten
of it? let him
also
go and return unto his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man eat of it.
7
And what man
is there
that hath betrothed a wife, and hath not taken her? let him go and return
unto his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man take her.
8
