תָּכִ֣ין לְךָ֮ הַדֶּרֶךְ֒ וְשִׁלַּשְׁתָּ֙ אֶת־גְּב֣וּל אַרְצְךָ֔ אֲשֶׁ֥ר יַנְחִֽילְךָ֖ יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֶ֑יךָ וְהָיָ֕ה לָנ֥וּס שָׁ֖מָּה כָּל־רֹצֵֽחַ׃
Engkau harus menyiapkan jalan-jalannya bagimu dan membagi wilayah negerimu, yang diwariskan Yang Mahakekal, Allahmu, kepadamu, menjadi tiga bagian, supaya setiap pembunuh dapat melarikan diri ke sana.

That it should be from Hebron to (Jehudah)78Read with the Tosephta and the Babli: From the Southern border to Hebron. as from Hebron to Sichem and from Hebron to Sichem as from Sichem to Qedesh.”
