20Then the LORD said to Joshua:H3068H1696H3091H559 2"Tell the Israelites to designate the cities of refuge, as I instructed you through Moses,H1696H1121H3478H559H5414H5892H4733H1696H3027H4872 3so that anyone who kills a person accidentally and unintentionally may flee there and find protection from the avenger of blood.H7523H5221H5315H7684H1847H5127H4733H1350H1818 4"When he flees to one of these cities, he is to stand in the entrance of the city gate and state his case before the elders of that city. Then they are to admit him into their city and give him a place to live with them.H5127H259H5892H5975H6607H8179H5892H1696H1697H241H2205H5892H622H5892H5414H4725H3427 5If the avenger of blood pursues him, they must not surrender the one accused, because he killed his neighbor unintentionally and without malice aforethought.H1350H1818H7291H310H5462H7523H3027H5221H7453H1097H1847H8130H8543H8032 6He is to stay in that city until he has stood trial before the assembly and until the death of the high priest who is serving at that time. Then he may go back to his own home in the town from which he fled."H3427H5892H5975H6440H5712H4941H4194H1419H3548H834H3117H7523H7725H935H5892H1004H5892H5127 7So they set apart Kedesh in Galilee in the hill country of Naphtali, Shechem in the hill country of Ephraim, and Kiriath Arba (that is, Hebron) in the hill country of Judah.H6942H6943H1551H2022H5321H7927H2022H669H7153H2275H2022H3063 8On the east side of the Jordan of Jericho they designated Bezer in the desert on the plateau in the tribe of Reuben, Ramoth in Gilead in the tribe of Gad, and Golan in Bashan in the tribe of Manasseh.H5676H3383H3405H4217H5414H1221H4057H4334H4294H7205H7216H1568H4294H1410H1474H1316H4294H4519 9Any of the Israelites or any alien living among them who killed someone accidentally could flee to these designated cities and not be killed by the avenger of blood prior to standing trial before the assembly.H5892H4152H1121H3478H1616H1481H8432H5221H5315H7684H5127H4191H3027H1350H1818H5975H6440H5712
