Deuteronomy 19:2 in Context — Deuteronomy 19

1 Lorsque l’Éternel, ton Dieu, aura exterminé les nations dont l’Éternel, ton Dieu, te donne le pays, lorsque tu les auras chassées et que tu habiteras dans leurs villes et dans leurs maisons,

2 tu sépareras trois villes au milieu du pays dont l’Éternel, ton Dieu, te donne la possession.

3 Tu établiras des routes, et tu diviseras en trois parties le territoire du pays que l’Éternel, ton Dieu, va te donner en héritage. Il en sera ainsi afin que tout meurtrier puisse s’enfuir dans ces villes.

4 Cette loi s’appliquera au meurtrier qui s’enfuira là pour sauver sa vie, lorsqu’il aura involontairement tué son prochain, sans avoir été auparavant son ennemi.
