14 Ye shall appoint three [a]on this side Jordan, and ye shall appoint three cities in the land of (A)Canaan which shall be cities of refuge.

15 These six cities shall be a refuge for the children of Israel, and for the stranger, and for him that dwelleth [b]among you, that everyone which killeth any person unawares, may flee thither.

16 (B)And if one [c]smite another with an instrument of iron that he die, he is a murderer, and the murderer shall die the death.
