11 Then you shall select for yourselves cities to he cities of refuge for you; that the person who kills someone unawares may flee there. 12 And they shall be to you cities for refuge from the avenger, that the manslayer may not be killed until he stand before the congregation in judgment. 13 And of these cities which you shall give, six cities shall you have for refuge. 14 You shall give three cities on this side of the Jordan, and three cities you shall give in the land of Canaan, which shall be cities of refuge. 15 These six cities shall be for refuge, both for the children of Israel and for the proselytes and for the sojourner among them; that every one who kills any person unawares may flee there.
