Deuteronomy 19
Deuteronomy 19:1 When the Lord thy God hath cut off the nations, whose land the
Lord thy God giveth thee, and thou succeedest them, and dwellest in their
cities, and in their houses;
2 Thou shalt separate three cities for thee in the midst of thy land, which the
Lord thy God giveth thee to possess it.
3 Thou shalt prepare thee a way, and divide the coasts of thy land, which the
Lord thy God giveth thee to inherit, into three parts, that every slayer may
flee thither.
4 And this is the case of the slayer, which shall flee thither, that he may
live: Whoso killeth his neighbour ignorantly, whom he hated not in time past;
-
Whoso killeth his neighbour ignorantly, whom he hated not in time past,
he shall flee unto one of those
cities, and live
5 As when a man goeth into the wood with his neighbour to hew wood, and his hand
fetcheth a stroke with the axe to cut down the tree, and the head slippeth from
the helve, and lighteth upon his neighbour, that he die; he shall flee unto one
of those cities, and live:
-
He die; he shall flee unto one of those cities,
and live
6 Lest the avenger of the blood pursue the slayer, while his heart is hot, and
overtake him, because the way is long, and slay him; whereas he was not worthy
of death, inasmuch as he hated him not in time past.
7 Wherefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt separate three cities for thee.
8 And if the Lord thy God enlarge thy coast, as he hath sworn unto thy fathers,
and give thee all the land which he promised to give unto thy fathers;
9 If thou shalt keep all these commandments to do them, which I command thee
this day, to love the Lord thy God, and to walk ever in his ways; then shalt
thou add three cities more for thee, beside these three:
10 That innocent blood be not shed in thy land, which the Lord thy God giveth
thee for an inheritance, and so blood be upon thee.
11 But if any man hate his neighbour, and lie in wait for him, and rise up
against him, and smite him mortally that he die, and fleeth into one of these
cities:
-
If any man hate his neighbour, and lie in wait for him, fetch him thence, and deliver him
into the hand of the avenger of blood, that he may die.
12 Then the elders of his city shall send and fetch him thence, and deliver him
into the hand of the avenger of blood, that he may die.
-
Any man hate his neighbour, and lie in wait for him,
and rise up against him, and smitefetch him thence, and deliver him
into the hand of the avenger of blood, that he may die.
13 Thine eye shall not pity him, but thou shalt put away the guilt of innocent
blood from Israel, that it may go well with thee.
14 Thou shalt not remove thy neighbour's landmark, which they of old time have
set in thine inheritance, which thou shalt inherit in the land that the Lord thy
God giveth thee to possess it.
15 One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin,
in any sin that he sinneth: at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of
three witnesses, shall the matter be established.
16 If a false witness rise up against any man to testify against him that which
is wrong;
17 Then both the men, between whom the controversy is, shall stand before the
Lord, before the priests and the judges, which shall be in those days;
18 And the judges shall make diligent inquisition: and, behold, if the witness
be a false witness, and hath testified falsely against his brother;
19 Then shall ye do unto him, as he had thought to have done unto his brother:
so shalt thou put the evil away from among you.
20 And those which remain shall hear, and fear, and shall henceforth commit no
more any such evil among you.
21 And thine eye shall not pity; but life shall go for life, eye for eye, tooth
for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
• Exactly 2520 years from the exile
of Benjamin, Iceland became an independent nation.
•
The first tribe to be
conquered by the Assyrians was Manasseh,
in 745 B.C. Exactly 2520 years later America became a nation on July 4, 1776.
(Leviticus. 26: 28-46) God warned Israel that if they persisted in continually
breaking His Laws, not only would curses come upon them.
He would punish them for seven times, (a time being 360 years, seven times would
be 2520 years) and would banish them from the land of Palestine and scatter them
among the heathens (like lost sheep)
