Numbers 35:11

Cities for the Levites

Version

Then ye shall appoint you cities to be cities of refuge for you; that the slayer may flee thither, which killeth any person at unawares.

Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come over Jordan into the land of Canaan;

And they shall be unto you cities for refuge from the avenger; that the manslayer die not, until he stand before the congregation in judgment.
