Then Moses set apart three cities beyond the Jordan toward the sunrise,

At that time LORD set apart the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of LORD, to stand before LORD to minister to him, and to bless in his name, to this day.

thou shall set apart three cities for thee in the midst of thy land, which LORD thy God gives thee to possess it.

Therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shall set apart three cities for thee.

And LORD will set him apart to evil out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant that is written in this book of the law.

thou shall surely set him king over thee whom LORD thy God shall choose. Thou shall set a king over thee from among thy brothers. Thou may not put a foreigner over thee who is not thy brother.
