Numbers 35:10-12

International Children’s Bible

¹⁰ “Tell the Israelites these things: ‘You will cross the Jordan River and go into Canaan. ¹¹ You must choose cities to be cities of safety. If a person accidentally kills someone, he may run to them for safety. ¹² There he will be safe from the dead person’s relative who has the duty of punishing the killer. He will not die before he is judged in court.
