Numbers 35:15 in Context — Numbers 35
13 Des villes que vous donnerez, six seront pour vous des villes de refuge.
14 Vous donnerez trois villes au-delà du Jourdain, et vous donnerez trois villes dans le pays de Canaan: ce seront des villes de refuge.
15 Ces six villes serviront de refuge aux enfants d’Israël, à l’étranger et à celui qui demeure au milieu de vous: là pourra s’enfuir tout homme qui aura tué quelqu’un involontairement.
16 Si un homme frappe son prochain avec un instrument de fer, et que la mort en soit la suite, c’est un meurtrier: le meurtrier sera puni de mort.
17 S’il le frappe, tenant à la main une pierre qui puisse causer la mort, et que la mort en soit la suite, c’est un meurtrier: le meurtrier sera puni de mort.
