Deuteronomy 4:40-42
Lexham English Bible
40 And you shall keep his rules and his commandments that I am commanding you today,[a] so that it may go well[b] for you and for your children[c] after you, and so that you may remain a long time[d] on the land that Yahweh your God is giving to you during all of those days.”
41 Then Moses set apart three cities on the other side of the Jordan,[e] toward the east,[f] 42 in order for a manslayer[g] to flee there who has killed his neighbor without intent[h] and was not hating him previously,[i] and so he could flee to one of these cities and be safe.[j]
