Joshua 20:3-5

3that the manslayer that killeth any personH5315 unwittingly and unawares may fleeH5127 thither: and they shall beH1961 unto you for a refugeH4733 from the avengerH1350 of bloodH1818.

4And he shall fleeH5127 unto oneH259 of those citiesH5892, and shall standH5975 at the entranceH6607 of the gateH8179 of the cityH5892, and declare his cause in the earsH241 of the eldersH2205 of that cityH5892; and they shall take him into the cityH5892 unto them, and giveH5414 him a placeH4725, that he may dwellH3427 among them.

5And if the avengerH1350 of bloodH1818 pursueH7291 after him, then they shall not deliverH5462 up the manslayer into his handH3027; because he smote his neighborH7453 unawares, and hatedH8130 him not beforetime.
