20Then the LORD said to Joshua,H3068H1696H3091H559 2"Say to the people of Israel, 'Appoint the cities of refuge, of which I spoke to you through Moses,H1696H1121H3478H559H5414H5892H4733H1696H3027H4872 3that the manslayer who strikes any person without intent or unknowingly may flee there. They shall be for you a refuge from the avenger of blood.H7523H5221H5315H7684H1847H5127H4733H1350H1818 4He shall flee to one of these cities and shall stand at the entrance of the gate of the city and explain his case to the elders of that city. Then they shall take him into the city and give him a place, and he shall remain with them.H5127H259H5892H5975H6607H8179H5892H1696H1697H241H2205H5892H622H5892H5414H4725H3427 5And if the avenger of blood pursues him, they shall not give up the manslayer into his hand, because he struck his neighbor unknowingly, and did not hate him in the past.H1350H1818H7291H310H5462H7523H3027H5221H7453H1097H1847H8130H8543H8032 6And he shall remain in that city until he has stood before the congregation for judgment, until the death of him who is high priest at the time. Then the manslayer may return to his own town and his own home, to the town from which he fled.'"H3427H5892H5975H6440H5712H4941H4194H1419H3548H834H3117H7523H7725H935H5892H1004H5892H5127 7So they set apart Kedesh in Galilee in the hill country of Naphtali, and Shechem in the hill country of Ephraim, and Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron) in the hill country of Judah.H6942H6943H1551H2022H5321H7927H2022H669H7153H2275H2022H3063 8And beyond the Jordan east of Jericho, they appointed Bezer in the wilderness on the tableland, from the tribe of Reuben, and Ramoth in Gilead, from the tribe of Gad, and Golan in Bashan, from the tribe of Manasseh.H5676H3383H3405H4217H5414H1221H4057H4334H4294H7205H7216H1568H4294H1410H1474H1316H4294H4519 9These were the cities designated for all the people of Israel and for the stranger sojourning among them, that anyone who killed a person without intent could flee there, so that he might not die by the hand of the avenger of blood, till he stood before the congregation.H5892H4152H1121H3478H1616H1481H8432H5221H5315H7684H5127H4191H3027H1350H1818H5975H6440H5712
