Deuteronomy 19:1-3

Evangelical Heritage Version

Cities of Refuge

19 When the Lord your God has cut down the nations whose land the Lord your God is giving you, and you have taken possession of their land and settled in their cities and houses, ² set aside three cities within the land that the Lord your God is giving you to possess. ³ Prepare roads^[a] for yourselves, and divide the land that the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance into three parts, so that anyone who has killed a person will be able to flee to one of these cities.
