Deuteronomy 19:3

English Standard Version

3 You shall measure the distances[1] and divide into three parts the area of the land that the Lord your God gives you as a possession, so that any manslayer can flee to them.

New International Version

3 Determine the distances involved and divide into three parts the land the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, so that a person who kills someone may flee for refuge to one of these cities.

New International Reader’s Version

3 Figure out the distances and then separate the land into three parts. Then anyone who kills another person can run to one of these cities for safety. They are in the land the LORD your God is giving you as your own.

King James Version

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.
