Deuteronomy 19:2-4

GOD’S WORD Translation

² When all this is done, set aside three cities in the land that the Lord your God is giving you. ³ Provide a route to each of these cities and divide the land that the Lord your God is giving you into three regions. Whoever kills someone may run to one of these cities.

⁴ A person who unintentionally kills someone he never hated in the past may run to one of these cities to save his life.
