Numbers 35:11 DBY

⁹  And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

¹⁰  Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye pass over the Jordan into the land of Canaan,

¹¹  then ye shall appoint for yourselves cities: cities of refuge shall they be for you; that a manslayer may flee thither, who without intent smiteth a person mortally.

¹²  And ye shall have these cities for refuge from the avenger; that the manslayer die not, until he have stood before the assembly in judgment.

¹³  And the cities that ye shall give shall be six cities of refuge for you.
