9. Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
10. “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: ‘When you cross the Jordan into the land of Canaan,
11. then you shall appoint cities to be cities of refuge for you, that the manslayer who kills any person accidentally may flee there.
12. They shall be cities of refuge for you from the avenger, that the manslayer may not die until he stands before the congregation in judgment.
13. And of the cities which you give, you shall have six cities of refuge.
