Numbers 35:11-14

NSB(i) 11 select certain cities to be places of refuge. Anyone who unintentionally kills another person may run to them. 12 »These cities will be places of refuge from any relative who can avenge the death. So anyone accused of murder will not have to die until he has had a trial in front of the community. 13 »There will be six cities you select as places of refuge. 14 »Three will be on the east side of the Jordan River and three in Canaan.
