另外东量二千肘，南量二千肘，西量二千肘，北量二千肘，为边界，城在当中。这要归他们作城邑的郊野。
And ye shall measure from without the city on the east side two thousand cubits, and on the south side two thousand cubits, and on the west side two thousand cubits, and on the north side two thousand cubits; and the city shall be in the midst: this shall be to them the suburbs of the cities.
你们给利未人的城邑，其中当有六座逃城，使误杀人的可以逃到那里。此外还要给他们四十二座城。
And among the cities which ye shall give unto the Levites there shall be six cities for refuge, which ye shall appoint for the manslayer, that he may flee thither: and to them ye shall add forty and two cities.
你们所分出来的城，要作六座逃城。
And of these cities which ye shall give six cities shall ye have for refuge.
倘若人没有仇恨，忽然将人推倒，或是没有埋伏把物扔在人身上，
But if he thrust him suddenly without enmity, or have cast upon him any thing without laying of wait,
会众就要照典章，在打死人的和报血仇的中间审判。
Then the congregation shall judge between the slayer and the revenger of blood according to these judgments:
会众要救这误杀人的脱离报血仇人的手，也要使他归入逃城。他要住在其中，直等到受圣膏的大祭司死了。
And the congregation shall deliver the slayer out of the hand of the revenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore him to the city of his refuge, whither he was fled: and he shall abide in it unto the death of the high priest, which was anointed with the holy oil.
但误杀人的，无论什么时候，若出了逃城的境外，
But if the slayer shall at any time come without the border of the city of his refuge, whither he was fled;
报血仇的在逃城境外遇见他，将他杀了，报血仇的就没有流血之罪。
And the revenger of blood find him without the borders of the city of his refuge, and the revenger of blood kill the slayer; he shall not be guilty of blood:
因为误杀人的该住在逃城里，等到大祭司死了。大祭司死了以后，误杀人的才可以回到他所得为业之地。
Because he should have remained in the city of his refuge until the death of the high priest: but after the death of the high priest the slayer shall return into the land of his possession.
这在你们一切的住处，要作你们世世代代的律例典章。
So these things shall be for a statute of judgment unto you throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
