1a
¶ Ye shall not scatter abroad, after the manner of other men, nor dwell alone in the fields;
1b
Ye shall dwell together in cities, in towns, and in villages.
1c
Your inheritances shall be appointed to you, both in the places of your dwelling, and in the fields and forests round about.
2
¶ In the fields and forests may you go and dwell, when you labor there, but ye shall return; and your treasures, your granaries, and your storehouses, shall be at the place of your dwellings.
3a
¶ And if ye would in any wise go and dwell among strangers to gain power over them, or to get riches, or for any other reason whatsoever, ye shall not go except by permission of your king and of the rulers whom he shall command,
3b
Lest ye be led away of your own lusts, and be estranged from the Lord, your God, and be cast off forever.
3c
Moreover, if ye go without permission, ye shall be spoiled of your goods; and except ye repent and return, ye shall not have a place in the congregation before the Lord.
