The Lord spoke to Moses:

If an immigrant lives with you or has settled among you for many years and would also like to offer a food gift that is a soothing smell to the Lord, that person must do just as you do.

There will be one set of instructions and one legal norm for the immigrant and for you.

The entire Israelite community and the immigrant residing among them will be forgiven, because all the people acted unintentionally.

There will be one set of instructions for the Israelite citizen and the immigrant residing with you for anyone who commits an unintentional sin.

Punishment for intentional sin

But the person who acts deliberately, whether a citizen or an immigrant, and insults the Lord, that person will be cut off from the people

The one who gathers the ashes of the cow will wash his clothes but will be unclean until evening. This will be a permanent regulation for the Israelites and for the immigrant who lives among them.

These six cities will be refuge for Israelites, immigrants, and temporary residents, as a place to flee for anyone who kills a person by accident.
