13 And of the cities which ye shall give, six cities shall ye have for refuge.

14 Ye shall appoint three [a]on this side Jordan, and ye shall appoint three cities in the land of (A)Canaan which shall be cities of refuge.

15 These six cities shall be a refuge for the children of Israel, and for the stranger, and for him that dwelleth [b]among you, that everyone which killeth any person unawares, may flee thither.
