Deuteronomy 4:42 in Context — Deuteronomy 4

40 E guarda seus estatutos e seus mandamentos, que eu te mando hoje, para que te vá bem a ti e a teus filhos depois de ti, e prolongues teus dias sobre a terra que o SENHOR teu Deus te dá para sempre.

41 Então separou Moisés três cidades desta parte do Jordão ao oriente,

42 Para que fugisse ali o homicida que matasse a seu próximo por acidente, sem haver tido inimizade com ele desde ontem nem antes de ontem; e que fugindo de uma vez destas cidades salvara a vida:

43 A Bezer no deserto, em terra da planície, dos rubenitas; e a Ramote em Gileade, dos gaditas; e a Golã em Basã, dos de Manassés.

44 Esta, pois, é a lei que Moisés propôs diante dos filhos de Israel.
