Yahweh
spoke
to
Joshua, saying,
The
LORD
also
spake
unto
Joshua, saying,
Speak to the children of Israel, saying, Assign
you the
cities of refuge, of
which
I spoke
to
you by Moses ,
Speak to the children of Israel, saying, Appoint
out
for
you cities of refuge, whereof
I spake
unto
you by the
hand
of
Moses :
that the manslayer
who
kills
any person unwittingly
[and]
unawares may flee there
: and they shall be to
you
for
a
refuge from the avenger of blood.
That the slayer
that
killeth
any person unawares and
unwittingly
may flee thither
: and they shall be your
refuge from the avenger of blood.
He shall
flee to
one of those cities ,
and
shall stand at the entrance
of the gate of the city, and declare his cause in the ears of the elders of that city ;
and
they shall take him into the city to
them, and give him a place, that he may dwell among them.
And
when
he that
doth
flee unto
one of those cities shall stand at the entering
of the gate of the city, and shall
declare his cause in the ears of the elders of that city ,
they shall take him into the city unto
them, and give him a place, that he may dwell among them.
If the avenger of blood pursue after him, then they shall not deliver up
the manslayer
into his hand; because he struck
his neighbor unawares
, and didn't
hate
him before
.
And
if the avenger of blood pursue after him, then they shall not deliver the slayer
up
into his hand; because he smote
his neighbor unwittingly
, and hated
him not
beforetime
.
He shall dwell in that city, until he stand before the congregation for judgment, until the death of the high priest that shall be in those days: then shall the manslayer
return, and come to
his own city, and to
his own house, to
the city from whence he fled.
And
he shall dwell in that city, until he stand before the congregation for judgment, and
until the death of the high priest that shall be in those days: then shall the slayer
return, and come unto
his own city, and unto
his own house, unto
the city from whence he fled.

in the hill-country

These were the appointed
cities for all the children of Israel, and for the stranger who
sojourns
among them, that whoever
kills
any person unwittingly
might flee there
, and not die by the hand of the avenger of blood, until he stood before the congregation.
