1
The LORD [3068] also spake [1696] unto Joshua, [3091] saying, [0559]
2
Speak [1696] to the children [1121] of Israel, [3478] saying, [0559] Appoint [5414] out for you cities [5892] of refuge, [4733] whereof I spake [1696] unto you by the hand [3027] of Moses: [4872]
3
That the slayer [7523] that killeth [5221] [any] person [5315] unawares [7684] [and] unwittingly [1847] may flee [5127] thither: and they shall be your refuge [4733] from the avenger [1350] of blood. [1818]
4
And when he that doth flee [5127] unto one [0259] of those cities [5892] shall stand [5975] at the entering [6607] of the gate [8179] of the city, [5892] and shall declare [1696] his cause [1697] in the ears [0241] of the elders [2205] of that city, [5892] they shall take [0622] him into the city [5892] unto them, and give [5414] him a place, [4725] that he may dwell [3427] among them.
5
And if the avenger [1350] of blood [1818] pursue [7291] after [0310] him, then they shall not deliver [5462] the slayer [7523] up into his hand; [3027] because he smote [5221] his neighbour [7453] unwittingly, [1097] [1847] and hated [8130] him not beforetime. [8543] [8032]
6
And he shall dwell [3427] in that city, [5892] until he stand [5975] before [6440] the congregation [5712] for judgment, [4941] [and] until the death [4194] of the high [1419] priest [3548] that shall be in those days: [3117] then shall the slayer [7523] return, [7725] and come [0935] unto his own city, [5892] and unto his own house, [1004] unto the city [5892] from whence [0834] he fled. [5127]
7
And they appointed [6942] Kedesh [6943] in Galilee [1551] in mount [2022] Naphtali, [5321] and Shechem [7927] in mount [2022] Ephraim, [0669] and Kirjatharba, [7153] which [is] Hebron, [2275] in the mountain [2022] of Judah. [3063]

And on the other side [5676] Jordan [3383] by Jericho [3405] eastward, [4217] they assigned [5414] Bezer [1221] in the wilderness [4057] upon the plain [4334] out of the tribe [4294] of Reuben, [7205] and Ramoth [7216] in Gilead [1568] out of the tribe [4294] of Gad, [1410] and Golan [1474] in Bashan [1316] out of the tribe [4294] of Manasseh. [4519]

These were the cities [5892] appointed [4152] for all the children [1121] of Israel, [3478] and for the stranger [1616] that sojourneth [1481] among [8432] them, that whosoever killeth [5221] [any] person [5315] at unawares [7684] might flee [5127] thither, and not die [4191] by the hand [3027] of the avenger [1350] of blood, [1818] until he stood [5975] before [6440] the congregation.
