第三天和第七天,洁净的人要洒水在不洁净的人身上,第七天就使他成为洁净。那人要洗衣服,用水洗澡,到晚上就洁净了。
And the clean person shall sprinkle upon the unclean on the third day, and on the seventh day: and on the seventh day he shall purify himself, and wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and shall be clean at even.
这要给你们作为永远的定例。并且那洒除污秽水的人要洗衣服。凡摸除污秽水的,必不洁净到晚上。
And it shall be a perpetual statute unto them, that he that sprinkleth the water of separation shall wash his clothes; and he that toucheth the water of separation shall be unclean until even.
不洁净人所摸的一切物就不洁净。摸了这物的人必不洁净到晚上。
And whatsoever the unclean person toucheth shall be unclean; and the soul that toucheth it shall be unclean until even.
耶和华你神将列国之民剪除的时候,耶和华你神也将他们的地赐给你,你接着住他们的城邑并他们的房屋,
When the LORD thy God hath cut off the nations, whose land the LORD thy God giveth thee, and thou succeedest them, and dwellest in their cities, and in their houses;
就要在耶和华你神所赐你为业的地上分定三座城。
Thou shalt separate three cities for thee in the midst of thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it.
误杀人的逃到那里可以存活,定例乃是这样,凡素无仇恨,无心杀了人的,
And this is the case of the slayer, which shall flee thither, that he may live: Whoso killeth his neighbour ignorantly, whom he hated not in time past;
就如人与邻舍同入树林砍伐树木,手拿斧子一砍,本想砍下树木,不料,斧头脱了把,飞落在邻舍身上,以致于死,这人逃到那些城的一座城,就可以存活,
As when a man goeth into the wood with his neighbour to hew wood, and his hand fetcheth a stroke with the axe to cut down the tree, and the head slippeth from the helve, and lighteth upon his neighbour, that he die; he shall flee unto one of those cities, and live:
免得报血仇的,心中火热追赶他,因路远就追上,将他杀死。其实他不该死,因为他与被杀的素无仇恨。
Lest the avenger of the blood pursue the slayer, while his heart is hot, and overtake him, because the way is long, and slay him; whereas he was not worthy of death, inasmuch as he hated him not in time past.
耶和华你神若照他向你列祖所起的誓扩张你的境界,将所应许赐你列祖的地全然给你,
And if the LORD thy God enlarge thy coast, as he hath sworn unto thy fathers, and give thee all the land which he promised to give unto thy fathers;
你若谨守遵行我今日所吩咐的这一切诫命,爱耶和华你的神,常常遵行他的道,就要在这三座城之外,再添三座城,
If thou shalt keep all these commandments to do them, which I command thee this day, to love the LORD thy God, and to walk ever in his ways; then shalt thou add three cities more for thee, beside these three:
