Open this scene in the reader →9And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
10Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, ‘When you cross the Jordan into the land of Canaan,’
11then you shall designate cities for yourselves; they shall be cities of refuge for you, and the manslayer who strikes down a person unintentionally shall flee there.
12The cities shall be for you as a refuge from the avenger, so that the manslayer may not die until he stands before the congregation for judgment.
13And the cities that you give shall be six cities of refuge for you.
14You shall appoint three of the cities beyond the Jordan, and three of the cities in the land of Canaan; they shall be cities of refuge.
15These six cities shall be for refuge for the sons of Israel, and for the sojourner and for the resident among them, so that anyone who kills a person unintentionally may flee there.
