06:019:048 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Dan according to their families, these cities with their villages.
06:019:049 When they had made an end of dividing the land for inheritance
by their coasts, the children of Israel gave an inheritance to
Joshua the son of Nun among them:
06:019:050 According to the word of the LORD they gave him the city which
he asked, even Timnathserah in mount Ephraim: and he built the
city, and dwelt therein.
06:019:051 These are the inheritances, which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel, divided for an inheritance by lot in Shiloh before the LORD, at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. So they made an end of dividing the country.
06:020:001 The LORD also spake unto Joshua, saying,
06:020:002 Speak to the children of Israel, saying, Appoint out for you
cities of refuge, whereof I spake unto you by the hand of
Moses:
06:020:003 That the slayer that killeth any person unawares and
unwittingly may flee thither: and they shall be your refuge
from the avenger of blood.
06:020:004 And when he that doth flee unto one of those cities shall stand at the entering of the gate of the city, and shall declare his cause in the ears of the elders of that city, they shall take him into the city unto them, and give him a place, that he may dwell among them.
06:020:005 And if the avenger of blood pursue after him, then they shall not deliver the slayer up into his hand; because he smote his neighbour unwittingly, and hated him not beforetime.
06:020:006 And he shall dwell in that city, until he stand before the congregation for judgment, and until the death of the high priest that shall be in those days: then shall the slayer return, and come unto his own city, and unto his own house, unto the city from whence he fled.
