Today’s F260 Bible reading: Numbers 34-35
34:1 Then the Lord spoke to Moses: 2“Give these instructions to the Israelites, and tell them: ‘When you enter Canaan, the land that has been assigned to you as an inheritance, the land of Canaan with its borders, 3your southern border will extend from the wilderness of Zin along the Edomite border, and your southern border will run eastward to the extremity of the Salt Sea, 4and then the border will turn from the south to the Scorpion Ascent, continue to Zin, and then its direction will be from the south to Kadesh Barnea. Then it will go to Hazar Addar and pass over to Azmon. 5There the border will turn from Azmon to the Stream of Egypt, and then its direction is to the sea. 6“‘And for a western border you will have the Great Sea. This will be your western border. 7“‘And this will be your northern border: From the Great Sea you will draw a line to Mount Hor; 8from Mount Hor you will draw a line to Lebo Hamath, and the direction of the border will be to Zedad. 9The border will continue to Ziphron, and its direction will be to Hazar Enan. This will be your northern border. 10“‘For your eastern border you will draw a line from Hazar Enan to Shepham. 11The border will run down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain, and the border will descend and reach the eastern side of the Sea of Kinnereth. 12Then the border will continue down the Jordan River and its direction will be to the Salt Sea. This will be your land by its borders that surround it.’” 13Then Moses commanded the Israelites: “This is the land that you will inherit by lot, which the Lord has commanded to be given to the nine-and-a-half tribes, 14because the tribe of the Reubenites by their families, the tribe of the Gadites by their families, and the half-tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance. 15The two-and-a-half tribes have received their inheritance on this side of the Jordan, east of Jericho, toward the sunrise.” 16The Lord said to Moses: 17“These are the names of the men who are to allocate the land to you as an inheritance: Eleazar the priest and Joshua son of Nun. 18You must take one leader from every tribe to assist in allocating the land as an inheritance. 19These are the names of the men: from the tribe of Judah, Caleb son of Jephunneh; 20from the tribe of the Simeonites, Shemuel son of Ammihud; 21from the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad son of Kislon; 22and from the tribe of the Danites, a leader, Bukki son of Jogli. 23From the Josephites, Hanniel son of Ephod, a leader from the tribe of Manasseh; 24from the tribe of the Ephraimites, a leader, Kemuel son of Shiphtan; 25from the tribe of the Zebulunites, a leader, Elizaphan son of Parnach; 26from the tribe of the Issacharites, a leader, Paltiel son of Azzan; 27from the tribe of the Asherites, a leader, Ahihud son of Shelomi; 28and from the tribe of the Naphtalites, a leader, Pedahel son of Ammihud.” 29These are the ones whom the Lord commanded to divide up the inheritance among the Israelites in the land of Canaan. 35:1 Then the Lord spoke to Moses in the rift valley plains of Moab along the Jordan near Jericho. He said: 2“Instruct the Israelites to give the Levites towns to live in from the inheritance the Israelites will possess. You must also give the Levites grazing land around the towns. 3Thus they will have towns in which to live, and their grazing lands will be for their cattle, for their possessions, and for all their animals. 4The grazing lands around the towns that you will give to the Levites must extend to a distance of 500 yards from the town wall. 5“You must measure from outside the wall of the town on the east 1,000 yards, and on the south side 1,000 yards, and on the west side 1,000 yards, and on the north side 1,000 yards, with the town in the middle. This territory must belong to them as grazing land for the towns. 6Now from these towns that you will give to the Levites you must select six towns of refuge to which a person who has killed someone may flee. And you must give them 42 other towns. 7“So the total of the towns you will give the Levites is 48. You must give these together with their grazing lands. 8The towns you will give must be from the possession of the Israelites. From the larger tribes you must give more; and from the smaller tribes fewer. Each must contribute some of its own towns to the Levites in proportion to the inheritance allocated to each.” 9Then the Lord spoke to Moses: 10“Speak to the Israelites and tell them, ‘When you cross over the Jordan River into the land of Canaan, 11you must then designate some towns as towns of refuge for you, to which a person who has killed someone unintentionally may flee. 12And they must stand as your towns of refuge from the avenger in order that the killer may not die until he has stood trial before the community. 13These towns that you must give shall be your six towns for refuge. 14“‘You must give three towns on this side of the Jordan, and you must give three towns in the land of Canaan; they must be towns of refuge. 15These six towns will be places of refuge for the Israelites, and for the resident foreigner, and for the settler among them, so that anyone who kills any person accidentally may flee there. 16“‘But if he hits someone with an iron tool so that he dies, he is a murderer. The murderer must surely be put to death. 17If he strikes him by throwing a stone large enough that he could die, and he dies, he is a murderer. The murderer must surely be put to death. 18Or if he strikes him with a wooden hand weapon so that he could die, and he dies, he is a murderer. The murderer must surely be put to death. 19The avenger of blood himself must kill the murderer; when he meets him, he must kill him. 20“‘But if he strikes him out of hatred or throws something at him intentionally so that he dies, 21or with enmity he strikes him with his hand and he dies, the one who struck him must surely be put to death, for he is a murderer. The avenger of blood must kill the murderer when he meets him. 22“‘But if he strikes him suddenly, without enmity, or throws anything at him unintentionally, 23or with any stone large enough that a man could die, without seeing him, and throws it at him, and he dies, even though he was not his enemy nor sought his harm, 24then the community must judge between the slayer and the avenger of blood according to these decisions. 25The community must deliver the slayer out of the hand of the avenger of blood, and the community must restore him to the town of refuge to which he fled, and he must live there until the death of the high priest, who was anointed with the consecrated oil. 26But if the slayer at any time goes outside the boundary of the town to which he had fled, 27and the avenger of blood finds him outside the borders of the town of refuge, and the avenger of blood kills the slayer, he will not be guilty of blood, 28because the slayer should have stayed in his town of refuge until the death of the high priest. But after the death of the high priest, the slayer may return to the land of his possessions. 29So these things must be a statutory ordinance for you throughout your generations, in all the places where you live. 30“‘Whoever kills any person, the murderer must be put to death by the testimony of witnesses, but one witness cannot testify against any person to cause him to be put to death. 31Moreover, you must not accept a ransom for the life of a murderer who is guilty of death; he must surely be put to death. 32And you must not accept a ransom for anyone who has fled to a town of refuge, to allow him to return home and live on his own land before the death of the high priest. 33“‘You must not pollute the land where you live, for blood defiles the land, and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed there, except by the blood of the person who shed it. 34Therefore do not defile the land that you will inhabit, in which I live, for I the Lord live among the Israelites.’” (NET Bible)
