Israel Designates Cities of Refuge The LORD instructed Joshua:
“Have the Israelites select the cities of refuge that I told you about through Moses.
Anyone who accidentally kills someone can escape there; these cities will be a place of asylum from the avenger of blood.
The one who committed manslaughter should escape to one of these cities, stand at the entrance of the city gate, and present his case to the leaders of that city. They should then bring him into the city, give him a place to stay, and let him live there.
When the avenger of blood comes after him, they must not hand over to him the one who committed manslaughter, for he accidentally killed his fellow man without premeditation.
