Numbers 35:14 YLT

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.

¹⁵  To sons of Israel, and to a sojourner, and to a settler in their midst, are these six cities for a refuge, for the fleeing thither of any one smiting a person unawares.

¹⁶  'And if with an instrument of iron he hath smitten him, and he dieth, he 'is' a murderer: the murderer is certainly put to death.
