Numbers 35:11-13

Revised Geneva Translation

¹¹ ‘you shall appoint yourselves cities to be cities of refuge for you, so that the killer who kills any person accidentally may flee there.

¹² ‘And these cities shall be for you a refuge from your avenger, so that he who kills does not die until he stand before the Congregation in judgment.

¹³ ‘And of the cities which you shall give, six cities shall you have for refuge.
