Joshua 20:2-6

2“TellH1696H413 the IsraelitesH1121H3478H559 to designateH5414 the citiesH5892 of refugeH4733, asH834 I instructedH1696H413 you throughH3027 MosesH4872, 3so that anyoneH7523 who killsH5221 anotherH5315 unintentionallyH7684 or accidentallyH1097H1847 may fleeH5127 thereH8033. These will beH1961 your refugeH4733 from the avengerH1350 of bloodH1818. 4When someone fleesH5127 toH413 oneH259 of theseH428 citiesH5892, standsH5975 at the entranceH6607 of the cityH5892 gateH8179, and statesH1696H241 his caseH1697 before its eldersH2205H1931, they are to bringH622 himH853 into the cityH5892H413 and giveH5414 him a placeH4725 to liveH3427 among themH5973.

5Now ifH3588 the avengerH1350 of bloodH1818H310 pursues himH7291, they must notH3808 surrenderH5462 the manslayerH7523 into his handH3027, becauseH3588 that man killedH5221 his neighborH7453 accidentallyH1097H1847 withoutH3808 priorH8543H8032 maliceH8130H1931. 6He is to stayH3427 in thatH1931 cityH5892 untilH5704 he standsH5975 trialH4941 beforeH6440 the assemblyH5712 and untilH5704 the deathH4194 of the highH1419 priestH3548 servingH1961 at thatH1992 timeH3117. ThenH227 the manslayerH7523H935 may returnH7725 to his own homeH1004H413H5892 inH413 the cityH5892H413 from whichH834 he fledH5127H8033.”
