Deuteronomy 19:6 in Context — Deuteronomy 19
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.
7 C’est pourquoi je te donne cet ordre: Tu sépareras trois villes.
8 Lorsque l’Éternel, ton Dieu, aura élargi tes frontières, comme il l’a juré à tes pères, et qu’il t’aura donné tout le pays qu’il a promis à tes pères de te donner,
