But if it was simply an accident permitted by God, I will appoint a place of refuge where the slayer can run for safety.

So God has given both his promise and his oath. These two things are unchangeable because it is impossible for God to lie. Therefore, we who have fled to him for refuge can have great confidence as we hold to the hope that lies before us.

Then Moses set apart three cities of refuge east of the Jordan River.Anyone who killed another person unintentionally, without previous hostility, could flee there to live in safety.These were the cities: Bezer on the wilderness plateau for the tribe of Reuben; Ramoth in Gilead for the tribe of Gad; Golan in Bashan for the tribe of Manasseh.

“ Give the following instructions to the people of Israel.“ When you cross the Jordan into the land of Canaan,designate cities of refuge to which people can flee if they have killed someone accidentally.These cities will be places of protection from a dead person’s relatives who want to avenge the death. The slayer must not be put to death before being tried by the community.Designate six cities of refuge for yourselves,three on the east side of the Jordan River and three on the west in the land of Canaan.These cities are for the protection of Israelites, foreigners living among you, and traveling merchants. Anyone who accidentally kills someone may flee there for safety.

“ Now tell the Israelites to designate the cities of refuge, as I instructed Moses.Anyone who kills another person accidentally and unintentionally can run to one of these cities; they will be places of refuge from relatives seeking revenge for the person who was killed.“ Upon reaching one of these cities, the one who caused the death will appear before the elders at the city gate and present his case. They must allow him to enter the city and give him a place to live among them.If the relatives of the victim come to avenge the killing, the leaders must not release the slayer to them, for he killed the other person unintentionally and without previous hostility.But the slayer must stay in that city and be tried by the local assembly, which will render a judgment. And he must continue to live in that city until the death of the high priest who was in office at the time of the accident. After that, he is free to return to his own home in the town from which he fled.”The following cities were designated as cities of refuge: Kedesh of 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.
