Deuteronomy 4:42 in Context — Deuteronomy 4

40 Y guarda sus estatutos y sus mandamientos, que yo te mando hoy, para que te vaya bien á ti y á tus hijos después de ti, y prolongues tus días sobre la tierra que Jehová tu Dios te da para siempre.

41 Entonces apartó Moisés tres ciudades de esta parte del Jordán al nacimiento del sol,

42 Para que huyese allí el homicida que matase á su prójimo por yerro, sin haber tenido enemistad con él desde ayer ni antes de ayer; y que huyendo á una de estas ciudades salvara la vida:

43 A Beser en el desierto, en tierra de la llanura, de los Rubenitas; y á Ramoth en Galaad, de los Gaditas; y á Golán en Basán, de los de Manasés.

44 Esta, pues, es la ley que Moisés propuso delante de los hijos de Israel.
