Numbers 35
1 फिर यहोवा ने, मोआब के अराबा में, यरीहो के पास की यरदन नदी के तट पर मूसा से कहा,
2 इस्त्राएलियों को आज्ञा दे, कि तुम अपने अपने निज भाग की भूमि में से लेवियों को रहने के लिये नगर देना; और नगरों के चारों ओर की चराइयां भी उन को देना।
3 नगर तो उनके रहने के लिये, और चराइयां उनके गाय-बैल और भेड़-बकरी आदि, उनके सब पशुओं के लिये होंगी।
4 और नगरों की चराइयां, जिन्हें तुम लेवियों को दोगे, वह एक एक नगर की शहरपनाह से बाहर चारों ओर एक एक हजार हाथ तक की हों।
5 और नगर के बाहर पूर्व, दक्खिन, पच्छिम, और उत्तर अलंग, दो दो हजार हाथ इस रीति से नापना कि नगर बीचों-बीच हो; लेवियों के एक एक नगर की चराई इतनी ही भूमि की हो।
6 और जो नगर तुम लेवियों को दोगे उन में से छ: शरणनगर हों, जिन्हें तुम को खूनी के भागने के लिये ठहराना होगा, और उन से अधिक बयालीस नगर और भी देना।
7 जितने नगर तुम लेवियों को दोगे वे सब अड़तालीस हों, और उनके साथ चराइयां देना।
8 और जो नगर तुम इस्त्राएलियों की निज भूमि में से दो, वे जिनके बहुत नगर हों उन से बहुत, और जिनके थोड़े नगर हों उनसे थोड़े ले कर देना; सब अपने अपने नगरों में से लेवियों को अपने ही अपने भाग के अनुसार दें॥
9 फिर यहोवा ने मूसा से कहा,
10 इस्त्राएलियों से कह, कि जब तुम यरदन पार हो कर कनान देश में पहुंचो,
11 तक ऐसे नगर ठहराना जो तुम्हारे लिये शरणनगर हों, कि जो कोई किसी को भूल से मार के खूनी ठहरा हो वह वहां भाग जाए।
12 वे नगर तुम्हारे निमित्त पलटा लेने वाले से शरण लेने के काम आएंगे, कि जब तक खूनी न्याय के लिये मण्डली के साम्हने खड़ा न हो तब तक वह न मार डाला जाए।
13 और शरण के जो नगर तुम दोगे वे छ: हों।
14 तीन नगर तो यरदन के इस पार, और तीन कनान देश में देना; शरणनगर इतने ही रहें।
15 ये छहों नगर इस्त्राएलियों के और उनके बीच रहने वाले परदेशियों के लिये भी शरणस्थान ठहरें, कि जो कोई किसी को भूल से मार डाले वह वहीं भाग जाए।
16 परन्तु यदि कोई किसी को लोहे के किसी हथियार से ऐसा मारे कि वह मर जाए, तो वह खूनी ठहरेगा; और वह खूनी अवश्य मार डाला जाए।
17 और यदि कोई ऐसा पत्थर हाथ में ले कर, जिस से कोई मर सकता है, किसी को मारे, और वह मर जाए, तो वह भी खूनी ठहरेगा; और वह खूनी अवश्य मार डाला जाए।
18 वा कोई हाथ में ऐसी लकड़ी ले कर, जिस से कोई मर सकता है, किसी को मारे, और वह मर जाए, तो वह भी खूनी ठहरेगा; और वह खूनी अवश्य मार डाला जाए।
19 लोहू का पलटा लेने वाला आप ही उस खूनी को मार डाले; जब भी वह मिले तब ही वह उसे मार डाले।
20 और यदि कोई किसी को बैर से ढकेल दे, वा घात लगाकर कुछ उस पर ऐसे फेंक दे कि वह मर जाए,
21 वा शत्रुता से उसको अपने हाथ से ऐसा मारे कि वह मर जाए, तो जिसने मारा हो वह अवश्य मार डाला जाए; वह खूनी ठहरेगा; लोहू का पलटा लेने वाला जब भी वह खूनी उसे मिल जाए तब ही उसको मार डाले।
22 परन्तु यदि कोई किसी को बिना सोचे, और बिना शत्रुता रखे ढकेल दे, वा बिना घात लगाए उस पर कुछ फेंक दे,
23 वा ऐसा कोई पत्थर ले कर, जिस से कोई मर सकता है, दूसरे को बिना देखे उस पर फेंक दे, और वह मर जाए, परन्तु वह न उसका शत्रु हो, और न उसकी हानि का खोजी रहा हो;
24 तो मण्डली मारने वाले और लोहू का पलटा लेने वाले के बीच इन नियमों के अनुसार न्याय करे;
25 और मण्डली उस खूनी को लोहू के पलटा लेने वाले के हाथ से बचाकर उस शरणनगर में जहां वह पहिले भाग गया हो लौटा दे, और जब तक पवित्र तेल से अभिषेक किया हुआ महायाजक न मर जाए तब तक वह वहीं रहे।
26 परन्तु यदि वह खूनी उस शरणस्थान के सिवाने से जिस में वह भाग गया हो बाहर निकलकर और कहीं जाए,
27 और लोहू का पलटा लेने वाला उसको शरणस्थान के सिवाने के बाहर कहीं पाकर मार डाले, तो वह लोहू बहाने का दोषी न ठहरे।
28 क्योंकि खूनी को महायाजक की मृत्यु तक शरणस्थान में रहना चाहिये; और महायाजक के मरने के पश्चात वह अपनी निज भूमि को लौट सकेगा।
29 तुम्हारी पीढ़ी पीढ़ी में तुम्हारे सब रहने के स्थानों में न्याय की यह विधि होगी।
30 और जो कोई किसी मनुष्य को मार डाले वह साक्षियों के कहने पर मार डाला जाए, परन्तु एक ही साक्षी की साक्षी से कोई न मार डाला जाए।
31 और जो खूनी प्राणदण्ड के योग्य ठहरे उससे प्राणदण्ड के बदले में जुरमाना न लेना; वह अवश्य मार डाला जाए।
32 और जो किसी शरणस्थान में भागा हो उसके लिये भी इस मतलब से जुरमाना न लेना, कि वह याजक के मरने से पहिले फिर अपने देश मे रहने को लौटने पाएं।
33 इसलिये जिस देश में तुम रहोगे उसको अशुद्ध न करना; खून से तो देश अशुद्ध हो जाता है, और जिस देश में जब खून किया जाए तब केवल खूनी के लोहू बहाने ही से उस देश का प्रायश्चित्त हो सकता है।
34 जिस देश में तुम निवास करोगे उसके बीच मैं रहूंगा, उसको अशुद्ध न करना; मैं यहोवा तो इस्त्राएलियों के बीच रहता हूं॥
1 And the Lord spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying,
2 Command the children of Israel, that they give unto the Levites of the inheritance of their possession cities to dwell in; and ye shall give also unto the Levites suburbs for the cities round about them.
3 And the cities shall they have to dwell in; and the suburbs of them shall be for their cattle, and for their goods, and for all their beasts.
4 And the suburbs of the cities, which ye shall give unto the Levites, shall reach from the wall of the city and outward a thousand cubits round about.
5 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.
6 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.
7 So all the cities which ye shall give to the Levites shall be forty and eight cities: them shall ye give with their suburbs.
8 And the cities which ye shall give shall be of the possession of the children of Israel: from them that have many ye shall give many; but from them that have few ye shall give few: every one shall give of his cities unto the Levites according to his inheritance which he inheriteth.
9 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
10 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come over Jordan into the land of Canaan;
11 Then ye shall appoint you cities to be cities of refuge for you; that the slayer may flee thither, which killeth any person at unawares.
12 And they shall be unto you cities for refuge from the avenger; that the manslayer die not, until he stand before the congregation in judgment.
13 And of these cities which ye shall give six cities shall ye have for refuge.
14 Ye shall give three cities on this side Jordan, and three cities shall ye give in the land of Canaan, which shall be cities of refuge.
15 These six cities shall be a refuge, both for the children of Israel, and for the stranger, and for the sojourner among them: that every one that killeth any person unawares may flee thither.
16 And if he smite him with an instrument of iron, so that he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
17 And if he smite him with throwing a stone, wherewith he may die, and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
18 Or if he smite him with an hand weapon of wood, wherewith he may die, and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
19 The revenger of blood himself shall slay the murderer: when he meeteth him, he shall slay him.
20 But if he thrust him of hatred, or hurl at him by laying of wait, that he die;
21 Or in enmity smite him with his hand, that he die: he that smote him shall surely be put to death; for he is a murderer: the revenger of blood shall slay the murderer, when he meeteth him.
22 But if he thrust him suddenly without enmity, or have cast upon him any thing without laying of wait,
23 Or with any stone, wherewith a man may die, seeing him not, and cast it upon him, that he die, and was not his enemy, neither sought his harm:
24 Then the congregation shall judge between the slayer and the revenger of blood according to these judgments:
25 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.
26 But if the slayer shall at any time come without the border of the city of his refuge, whither he was fled;
27 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:
28 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.
29 So these things shall be for a statute of judgment unto you throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
30 Whoso killeth any person, the murderer shall be put to death by the mouth of witnesses: but one witness shall not testify against any person to cause him to die.
31 Moreover ye shall take no satisfaction for the life of a murderer, which is guilty of death: but he shall be surely put to death.
32 And ye shall take no satisfaction for him that is fled to the city of his refuge, that he should come again to dwell in the land, until the death of the priest.
33 So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye are: for blood it defileth the land: and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it.
34 Defile not therefore the land which ye shall inhabit, wherein I dwell: for I the Lord dwell among the children of Israel.
1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Send thou men, that they may search the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel: of every tribe of their fathers shall ye send a man, every one a ruler among them.
3 And Moses by the commandment of the Lord sent them from the wilderness of Paran: all those men were heads of the children of Israel.
4 And these were their names: of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur.
5 Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori.
6 Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.
7 Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph.
8 Of the tribe of Ephraim, Oshea the son of Nun.
9 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu.
10 Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi.
11 Of the tribe of Joseph, namely, of the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi.
12 Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli.
13 Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael.
14 Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi.
15 Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi.
16 These are the names of the men which Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Oshea the son of Nun Jehoshua.
17 And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said unto them, Get you up this way southward, and go up into the mountain:
18 And see the land, what it is; and the people that dwelleth therein, whether they be strong or weak, few or many;
19 And what the land is that they dwell in, whether it be good or bad; and what cities they be that they dwell in, whether in tents, or in strong holds;
20 And what the land is, whether it be fat or lean, whether there be wood therein, or not. And be ye of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of the firstripe grapes.
21 So they went up, and searched the land from the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob, as men come to Hamath.
22 And they ascended by the south, and came unto Hebron; where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)
23 And they came unto the brook of Eshcol, and cut down from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bare it between two upon a staff; and they brought of the pomegranates, and of the figs.
24 The place was called the brook Eshcol, because of the cluster of grapes which the children of Israel cut down from thence.
25 And they returned from searching of the land after forty days.
26 And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word unto them, and unto all the congregation, and shewed them the fruit of the land.
27 And they told him, and said, We came unto the land whither thou sentest us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it.
28 Nevertheless the people be strong that dwell in the land, and the cities are walled, and very great: and moreover we saw the children of Anak there.
29 The Amalekites dwell in the land of the south: and the Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in the mountains: and the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and by the coast of Jordan.
30 And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.
31 But the men that went up with him said, We be not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we.
32 And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to search it, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of a great stature.
33 And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.
