Numbers 35:10-12

Young's Literal Translation

¹⁰ `Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, When ye are passing over the Jordan to the land of Canaan,

¹¹ and have prepared to yourselves cities -- cities of refuge they are to you -- then fled thither hath a man-slayer, smiting a person unawares,

¹² and the cities have been to you for a refuge from the redeemer, and the man-slayer doth not die till his standing before the company for judgment.
