Numbers 35:12 YLT

¹⁰  'Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, When ye are passing over the Jordan to the land of Canaan,

¹¹  and have prepared to yourselves cities -- cities of refuge they are to you -- then fled thither hath a man-slayer, smiting a person unawares,

¹²  and the cities have been to you for a refuge from the redeemer, and the man-slayer doth not die till his standing before the company for judgment.

¹³  'As to the cities which ye give -- six 'are' cities of refuge to you;

¹⁴  the three of the cities ye give beyond the Jordan, and the three of the cities ye give in the land of Canaan; cities of refuge they are.
