Numbers 35:10-12

21st Century King James Version

¹⁰ “Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them: ‘When ye have come over the Jordan into the land of Canaan,

¹¹ then ye shall appoint you cities to be cities of refuge for you, that the slayer may flee thither who killeth any person unawares.

¹² 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.
