37 Because He loved your fathers, He chose their descendants after them. Then He brought you out from Egypt with His presence, by His great power—
38 to drive out from before you nations greater and mightier than you, to bring you in to give you their land for an inheritance, as it is this day.
39 “So you will know today and take to heart that Adonai, He is God, in the heavens above and on the earth below—there is no other.
40 You must keep His statutes and His mitzvot, which I am commanding you today, so that it may go well with you and with your children after you, and so that you may prolong your days in the land that Adonai your God is giving you for all time.”
41 Then Moses set apart three cities beyond the Jordan, toward the east.
42 There the manslayer might flee, who kills his neighbor unintentionally and did not hate him previously. He may flee to one of these cities and live:
43 Bezer in the wilderness on the plateau for the Reubenites, Ramot in the Gilead for the Gadites, and Golan in the Bashan for the Manassites.
