Deuteronomy 4:41-43
International Standard Version
Cities of Refuge
41 Then Moses designated three cities on the east side of the Jordan, 42 where a person who accidentally killed someone could flee, if he killed his neighbor without having enmity toward him in the past. He may flee to one of these cities and live: 43 Bezer in the desert plain for the descendants of Reuben, Ramoth in Gilead for the descendants of Gad, and Golan in Bashan for the descendants of Manasseh.

41 Then Moses set apart three cities on the other side of the Jordan,[a] toward the east,[b] 42 in order for a manslayer[c] to flee there who has killed his neighbor without intent[d] and was not hating him previously,[e] and so he could flee to one of these cities and be safe.[f] 43 He set apart Bezer in the wilderness[g] in the land of the plateau of the Reubenites;[h] Ramoth in Gilead of the Gadites,[i] and Golan in Bashan of the Manassites.[j]
