Joshua 20:7-9

Revised Standard Version

⁷ So they set apart Kedesh in Galilee in the hill country of Naph′tali, and Shechem in the hill country of E′phraim, and Kir′iath-ar′ba (that is, Hebron) in the hill country of Judah. ⁸ And beyond the Jordan east of Jericho, they appointed Bezer in the wilderness on the tableland, from the tribe of Reuben, and Ramoth in Gilead, from the tribe of Gad, and Golan in Bashan, from the tribe of Manas′seh. ⁹ These were the cities designated for all the people of Israel, and for the stranger sojourning among them, that any one who killed a person without intent could flee there, so that he might not die by the hand of the avenger of blood, till he stood before the congregation.
