Numbers 35:11-13

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹¹ Then you shall select cities to be cities of refuge for you, that the slayer who kills any person unintentionally and unawares may flee there.

¹² And the cities shall be to you for refuge from the avenger, that the manslayer may not die until he has had a fair trial before the congregation.

¹³ And of the cities which you give there shall be your six cities for refuge.
