Deuteronomy 4:41-43

Expanded Bible

Cities of Safety

⁴¹ Moses ·chose [set apart] three cities east ·of [beyond] the Jordan River, ⁴² where a person who ·accidentally [unintentionally] killed someone could go [Num. 35:9–34]. If the person was not killed because of hatred, the murderer’s life could be saved by running to one of these cities. ⁴³ These were the cities: Bezer in the ·desert [wilderness] high plain was for the Reubenites; Ramoth in Gilead was for the Gadites; and Golan in Bashan was for the Manassites.
