The Cities of Refuge
1 Then Yahweh H3068 spoke H1696 to Joshua H3091, saying H559,
2 “Speak H1696 to the sons H1121 of Israel H3478, saying H559, ‘[fn]Designate H5414 the cities H5892 of refuge H4733, of which H834 I spoke H1696 to you by the hand H3027 of Moses H4872, 3 that the manslayer H7523 who strikes H5221 down H5221 any person H5315 unintentionally H7684, without H1097 premeditation H1847, may flee H5127 there H8033, and they shall become H1961 for you as a refuge H4733 from the avenger H1350 of blood H1818. 4 And he shall flee H5127 to one H259 of these H428 cities H5892 and shall stand H5975 at the entrance H6607 of the gate H8179 of the city H5892 and speak H1696 his case H1697 in the hearing H241 of the elders H2205 of that city H5892; and they shall [fn]take H622 him into the city H5892 to them and give H5414 him a place H4725, so that he may live H3427 among H5973 them. 5 Now if H3588 the avenger H1350 of blood H1818 pursues H7291 him, then they shall not surrender H5462 the manslayer H7523 into his hand H3027 because H3588 he struck H5221 his neighbor H7453 without H1097 premeditation H1847 and did not hate H8130 him beforehand H4480 H8543 H8032. 6 And he shall live H3427 in that city H5892 until H5704 he stands H5975 before H6440 the congregation H5712 for judgment H4941, until H5704 the death H4194 of the one who H834 is high H1419 priest H3548 in those H1992 days H3117. Then H227 the manslayer H7523 shall return H7725 and come H935 to his own city H5892 and to his own house H1004, to the city H5892 from which H834 he fled H5127.’”
7 So they [fn]set H6942 apart H6942 Kedesh H6943 in [fn]Galilee H1551 in the hill H2022 country H2022 of Naphtali H5321 and Shechem H7927 in the hill H2022 country H2022 of Ephraim H669 and Kiriath-arba H7153 (that is, Hebron H2275) in the hill H2022 country H2022 of Judah H3063. 8 Now beyond H4480 the Jordan H3383 east H4217 of Jericho H3405, they [fn]designated H5414 Bezer H1221 in the wilderness H4057 on the plain H4334 from the tribe H4294 of Reuben H7205 and Ramoth H7216 in Gilead H1568 from the tribe H4294 of Gad H1410 and Golan H1474 in Bashan H1316 from the tribe H4294 of Manasseh H4519. 9 These H428 were the appointed H4152 cities H5892 for all H3605 the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 and for the sojourner H1616 who sojourns H1481 among H8432 them, that whoever H3605 strikes H5221 down H5221 any person H5315 unintentionally H7684 may flee H5127 there H8033 and not die H4191 by the hand H3027 of the avenger H1350 of blood H1818 until H5704 he stands H5975 before H6440 the congregation H5712.
