Numbers 35:12-14
Evangelical Heritage Version
12 The cities will serve as a refuge for you from the avenger,[a] so that a person who has killed someone will not die until he stands trial before the community. 13 The cities which you will set aside will serve as the six cities of refuge for you. 14 You are to set aside three cities east of the Jordan and three cities in the land of Canaan. They will serve as cities of refuge.
