Deuteronomy 19:4 in Context — Deuteronomy 19
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.
5 Un homme, par exemple, va couper du bois dans la forêt avec un autre homme; la hache en main, il s’élance pour abattre un arbre; le fer échappe du manche, atteint le compagnon de cet homme, et lui donne la mort. Alors il s’enfuira dans l’une de ces villes pour sauver sa vie,
6 de peur que le vengeur du sang, échauffé par la colère et poursuivant le meurtrier, ne finisse par l’atteindre s’il y avait à faire beaucoup de chemin, et ne frappe mortellement celui qui ne mérite pas la mort, puisqu’il n’était point auparavant l’ennemi de son prochain.
