Then, did Moses set apart three cities, over the Jordan, - towards the rising of the sun:

three cities, shalt thou set apart for thee, - in the midst of thy land which Yahweh thy God is giving thee to possess.

For this cause, am I commanding thee saying, - Three cities, shalt thou set apart for thee.

Portion for portion, shall they eat, - apart from his possessions upon his patrimony.

thou shalt, set, over thee as king, him whom Yahweh thy God shall choose, - out of the midst of thy brethren, shalt thou set over thee a king, thou mayest not appoint over thee a man that is a foreigner, who is not thy brother.
