Numbers 35:10-12

New International Reader's Version

¹⁰ “Speak to the Israelites. Tell them, ‘You will soon go across the Jordan River. You will enter Canaan. ¹¹ When you do, choose the cities to go to for safety. People who have killed someone by accident can run to one of those cities. ¹² They will be places of safety for them. People will be safe there from those who want to kill them. Then anyone charged with murder will not die before their case has been brought to the community court.
