Joshua 20:1-4

1And Jehovah spokeH1696 to JoshuaH3091, sayingH559,

2SpeakH1696 to the children of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, Appoint for yourselves the citiesH5892 of refugeH4733, whereof I spokeH1696 unto you through MosesH4872,

3that the slayer who unwittingly without intent smiteth any one mortally may fleeH5127 thither: and they shall beH1961 your refugeH4733 from the avengerH1350 of bloodH1818.

4And he shall fleeH5127 unto oneH259 of those citiesH5892 and standH5975 at the entranceH6607 of the city-gate, and shall declare his matterH1697 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.
