Numbers 35:9-12

9Then the Lord spoke to Moses:

10“Speak to the Israelites and tell them, ‘When you cross over the Jordan River into the land of Canaan,

11you must then designate some towns as towns of refuge for you, to which a person who has killed someone unintentionally may flee.

12And they must stand as your towns of refuge from the avenger in order that the killer may not die until he has stood trial before the community.
