Numbers 35:14-16

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁴ You shall give three cities on this [east] side of the Jordan and three cities in the land of Canaan, to be cities of refuge.

¹⁵ These six cities shall be a refuge for the Israelites and for the stranger and the temporary resident among them; that anyone who kills any person unintentionally and unawares may flee there.

¹⁶ But if he struck him down with an instrument of iron so that he died, he is a murderer; the murderer shall surely be put to death.
