Joshua 20:4 in Context — Joshua 20
2 Parle aux enfants d’Israël, et dis: Établissez-vous, comme je vous l’ai ordonné par Moïse, des villes de refuge,
3 où pourra s’enfuir le meurtrier qui aura tué quelqu’un involontairement, sans intention; elles vous serviront de refuge contre le vengeur du sang.
4 Le meurtrier s’enfuira vers l’une de ces villes, s’arrêtera à l’entrée de la porte de la ville, et exposera son cas aux anciens de cette ville; ils le recueilleront auprès d’eux dans la ville, et lui donneront une demeure, afin qu’il habite avec eux.
5 Si le vengeur du sang le poursuit, ils ne livreront point le meurtrier entre ses mains; car c’est sans le vouloir qu’il a tué son prochain, et sans avoir été auparavant son ennemi.
6 Il restera dans cette ville jusqu’à ce qu’il ait comparu devant l’assemblée pour être jugé, jusqu’à la mort du souverain sacrificateur alors en fonctions. A cette époque, le meurtrier s’en retournera et rentrera dans sa ville et dans sa maison, dans la ville d’où il s’était enfui.
