04:035:007 So all the cities which ye shall give to the Levites shall be forty and eight cities: them shall ye give with their suburbs.
04:035:008 And the cities which ye shall give shall be of the possession of the children of Israel: from them that have many ye shall give many; but from them that have few ye shall give few: every one shall give of his cities unto the Levites according to his inheritance which he inheriteth.
04:035:009 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
04:035:010 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come over Jordan into the land of Canaan;
04:035:011 Then ye shall appoint you cities to be cities of refuge for
you; that the slayer may flee thither, which killeth any
person at unawares.
04:035:012 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.
04:035:013 And of these cities which ye shall give six cities shall ye have for refuge.
04:035:014 Ye shall give three cities on this side Jordan, and three cities shall ye give in the land of Canaan, which shall be cities of refuge.
04:035:015 These six cities shall be a refuge, both for the children of Israel, and for the stranger, and for the sojourner among them: that every one that killeth any person unawares may flee thither.
04:035:016 And if he smite him with an instrument of iron, so that he
die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to
death.
