NASB
"'The cities shall be to you as a refuge from the avenger, so that the manslayer will not die until he stands before the congregation for trial."
— Numbers 35:12, NASB
“And they shall be unto you cities for refuge from the avenger; that the manslayer die not, until he stand before the congregation in judgment.”
“And the cities shall be unto you for refuge from the avenger, that the manslayer die not, until he stand before the congregation for judgment. ”
“The cities shall be to you for refuge from the avenger, that the manslayer not die, until he stands before the congregation for judgment.”
“And they must stand as your towns of refuge from the avenger in order that the killer may not die until he has stood trial before the community.”
“And when the fugitive shall be in them, the kinsman of him that is slain may not have power to kill him, until he stand before the multitude, and his cause be judged.”
“In these towns you may be safe from him who has the right of punishment; so that death may not overtake the taker of life till he has been judged by the meeting of the people.”
“And they shall be unto you cities for refuge from the avenger; that the manslayer die not, until he stand before the congregation in judgment.”
Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
"Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, 'When you cross the Jordan into the land of Canaan,
then you shall select for yourselves cities to be your cities of refuge, that the manslayer who has killed any person unintentionally may flee there.
'The cities shall be to you as a refuge from the avenger, so that the manslayer will not die until he stands before the congregation for trial.
'The cities which you are to give shall be your six cities of refuge.
'You shall give three cities across the Jordan and three cities in the land of Canaan; they are to be cities of refuge.
'These six cities shall be for refuge for the sons of Israel, and for the alien and for the sojourner among them; that anyone who kills a person unintentionally may flee there.
