KJV:And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
KJV:Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come over Jordan into the land of Canaan;
KJV:Then ye shall appoint you cities to be cities of refuge for you; that the slayer may flee thither, which killeth any person at unawares.
KJV:And they shall be unto you cities for refuge from the avenger; that the manslayer die not, until he stand before the congregation in judgment.
KJV:And of these cities which ye shall give six cities shall ye have for refuge.
KJV:Ye shall give three cities on this side Jordan, and three cities shall ye give in the land of Canaan, which shall be cities of refuge.
KJV:These six cities shall be a refuge, both for the children of Israel, and for the stranger, and for the sojourner among them: that every one that killeth any person unawares may flee thither.
