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.
44. This is the Torah, which Moses set before Bnei-Yisrael.
45. These are the testimonies and the statutes and the ordinances, which Moses spoke to Bnei-Yisrael when they came out from Egypt—
46. beyond the Jordan, in the valley opposite Beth-peor, in the land of Sihon king of the Amorites who lived at Heshbon, whom Moses and Bnei-Yisrael struck down when they came out from Egypt.
47. They took possession of his land and the land of Og king of the Bashan, the two kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan toward the east—
48. from Aroer, which is on the edge of the wadi Arnon, as far as Mount Sion (that is, Hermon),
49. and all the Arabah beyond the Jordan eastward, as far as the sea of the Arabah , under the slopes of Pisgah.
