Joshua 20:2-6
2SpeakH1696 to the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, Appoint outH5414 for you citiesH5892 of refugeH4733, whereof I spakeH1696 unto you by the handH3027 of MosesH4872:
3That the slayerH7523 that killethH5221 any personH5315 unawaresH7684 and unwittinglyH1847 may fleeH5127 thither: and they shall be your refugeH4733 from the avengerH1350 of bloodH1818.
4And when he that doth fleeH5127 unto oneH259 of those citiesH5892 shall standH5975 at the enteringH6607 of the gateH8179 of the cityH5892, and shall declareH1696 his causeH1697 in the earsH241 of the eldersH2205 of that cityH5892, they shall takeH622 him into the cityH5892 unto them, and giveH5414 him a placeH4725, that he may dwellH3427 among them.
5And if the avengerH1350 of bloodH1818 pursueH7291 afterH310 him, then they shall not deliverH5462 the slayerH7523 up into his handH3027; because he smoteH5221 his neighbourH7453 unwittinglyH1847H1097, and hatedH8130 him not beforetimeH8032H8543.
6And he shall dwellH3427 in that cityH5892, until he standH5975 beforeH6440 the congregationH5712 for judgmentH4941, and until the deathH4194 of the highH1419 priestH3548 thatH834 shall be in those daysH3117: then shall the slayerH7523 returnH7725, and comeH935 unto his own cityH5892, and unto his own houseH1004, unto the cityH5892 from whence he fledH5127.
