1When the LORD your God has cut off the nations whose land He is giving you, and when you have driven them out and settled in their cities and houses,
2then you are to set apart for yourselves three cities within the land that the LORD your God is giving you to possess.
“you shall separate three cities for yourself in the midst of your land, which the law your God is giving you to possess.”
3You are to build roads for yourselves and divide into three regions the land that the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance, so that any manslayer can flee to these cities.
“You shall prepare roads for yourself, and divide into three parts the territory of your land, which the law your God is giving you to inherit, that any manslayer may flee.”
4Now this is the situation regarding the manslayer who flees to one of these cities to save his life, having killed his neighbor accidentally, without intending to harm him:

5If he goes into the forest with his neighbor to cut timber and swings his axe to chop down a tree, but the blade flies off the handle and strikes and kills his neighbor, he may flee to one of these cities to save his life.

6Otherwise, the avenger of blood might pursue the manslayer in a rage, overtake him if the distance is great, and strike him dead though he did not deserve to die, since he did not intend any harm.

8And if the LORD your God enlarges your territory, as He swore to your fathers, and gives you all the land He promised them,
“Now if the law your God enlarges your territory as he sold to your fathers, and gives you the land which he promised to give to your father,”
9and if you carefully keep all these commandments I am giving you today, loving the LORD your God and walking in His ways at all times, then you are to add three more cities to these three.
“If thou shall 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 thou shalt add three cities more for thee beside these three.”
“and if you keep all these commandments and do them, which I command you today to love the law your God and to walk always in his ways, then you shall add three more cities for yourself beside these three.”
10Thus innocent blood will not be shed in the land that the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance, so that you will not be guilty of bloodshed.

15A lone witness is not sufficient to establish any wrongdoing or sin against a man, regardless of what offense he may have committed. A matter must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.
“One witness shall not rise up against any 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.”
