Then see that you take as your king the man named by the Lord your God: let your king be one of your countrymen, not a man of another nation who is not one of yourselves.

And when he has taken his place on the seat of his kingdom, he is to make in a book a copy of this law, from that which the priests, the Levites, have in their care:

עַ֖ל 'al “on”עַל־ 'al- “on”

So that his heart may not be lifted up over his countrymen, and he may not be turned away from the orders, to one side or the other: but that his life and the lives of his children may be long in his kingdom in Israel.

עַל־ 'al- “over”

His food will be the same as theirs, in addition to what has come to him as the price of his property.

עַל־ 'al- “on”

And so I am ordering you to see that three towns are marked out for this purpose.

עַל־ 'al- “there-”

If you keep and do all these orders which I give you today, loving the Lord your God and walking ever in his ways; then let three more towns, in addition to these three, be marked out for you:

עַ֖ל 'al “to”

So that in all your land, which the Lord your God is giving you for your heritage, no man may be wrongly put to death, for which you will be responsible.

עָלֶ֖יךָ (עָלֶ֖י) 'a.Lei. “on”

But if any man has hate for his neighbour, and waiting for him secretly makes an attack on him and gives him a blow causing his death, and then goes in flight to one of these towns;

עָלָ֔יו (עָלָ֔י) 'a.La “on”

Have no pity on him, so that Israel may be clear from the crime of putting a man to death without cause, and it will be well for you.

עָלָ֑יו (עָלָ֑י) 'a.La “on”

One witness may not make a statement against a man in relation to any sin or wrongdoing which he has done: on the word of two or three witnesses a question is to be judged.

עַל־ 'al- “on”עַל־ 'al- “on”

When you go out to war against other nations, and come face to face with horses and war-carriages and armies greater in number than yourselves, have no fear of them: for the Lord your God is with you, who took you up out of the land of Egypt.

עַל־ 'al- “on”

Give ear, O Israel: today you are going forward to the fight; let your heart be strong; do not let uncontrolled fear overcome you because of those who are against you;

עַל־ 'al- “on”

When you come to a town, before attacking it, make an offer of peace.

עָלֶ֑יהָ (עָלֶ֑י) 'a.Lei. “on”

If however it will not make peace with you, but war, then let it be shut in on all sides:

עָלֶֽיהָ׃ (עָלֶֽי) 'a.Lei. “on”

If in war a town is shut in by your armies for a long time, do not let its trees be cut down and made waste; for their fruit will be your food; are the trees of the countryside men for you to take up arms against them?

עָלֶ֣יהָ (עָלֶ֣י) 'a.Lei. “on”עָלָיו֙ (עָלָי) 'a.La “on”

Only those trees which you are certain are not used for food may be cut down and put to destruction: and you are to make walls of attack against the town till it is taken.

עַל־ 'al- “on”

Then the priests, the sons of Levi, are to come near; for they have been marked out by the Lord your God to be his servants and to give blessings in the name of the Lord; and by their decision every argument and every blow is to be judged:

וְעַל־ (עַל) 'al- “on”

And all the responsible men of that town which is nearest to the dead man, washing their hands over the cow whose neck was broken in the valley,

עַל־ 'al- “over”

When you go out to war against other nations, and the Lord your God gives them up into your hands and you take them as prisoners;

עַל־ 'al- “on”

And let her take off the dress in which she was made prisoner and go on living in your house and weeping for her father and mother for a full month: and after that you may go in to her and be her husband and she will be your wife.

מֵעָלֶ֗יהָ (עָלֶ֗י) 'a.Lei. “on <the>”

Then when he gives his property to his sons for their heritage, he is not to put the son of his loved one in the place of the first son, the son of the hated wife:

עַל־ 'al- “on”

If a man does a crime for which the punishment is death, and he is put to death by hanging him on a tree;

עַל־ 'al- “on”

Do not let his body be on the tree all night, but put it to rest in the earth the same day; for the man who undergoes hanging is cursed by God; so do not make unclean the land which the Lord your God is giving you for your heritage.

עַל־ 'al- “on”

It is not right for a woman to be dressed in man's clothing, or for a man to put on a woman's robe: whoever does such things is disgusting to the Lord your God.

עַל־ 'al- “on”

If by chance you see a place which a bird has made for itself in a tree or on the earth, with young ones or eggs, and the mother bird seated on the young ones or on the eggs, do not take the mother bird with the young:
