Joshua 20:2-4

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

² Appoint cities of refuge, a of which I spoke to you by the hand of Moses:

³ That whosoever shall kill a person unawares may flee to them: and may escape the wrath of the kinsman, who is the avenger of blood:

⁴ And when he shall flee to one of these cities: he shall stand before the gate of the city, and shall speak to the ancients of that city, such things as prove him innocent: and so shall they receive him, and give him a place to dwell in.
