2 Speak to the children of Israel, saying, Appoint for yourselves cities of refuge, of which I spoke unto you by the hand of Moses:

Numbers 35:6
6 And among the cities which you shall give unto the Levites there shall be six cities for refuge, which you shall appoint for the manslayer, that he may flee there: and to them you shall add forty and two cities.
Numbers 35:11-24
11 Then you shall appoint you cities to be cities of refuge for you; that the slayer may flee there, who kills any person unintentionally.
12 And they shall be unto you cities for refuge from the avenger; that the manslayer die not, until he stands before the congregation in judgment.
13 And of these cities which you shall give, six cities shall you have for refuge.
14 You shall give three cities on this side of Jordan, and three cities shall you give in the land of Canaan, which shall be cities of refuge.
15 These six cities shall be a refuge, both for the children of Israel, and for the stranger, and for the sojourner among them: that every one that kills any person unintentionally may flee there.
16 But if he strikes him with an instrument of iron, so that he dies, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
17 And if he strikes him with throwing a stone, by which he may die, and he dies, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
18 Or if he strikes him with a hand weapon of wood, by which he may die, and he dies, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
19 The avenger of blood himself shall slay the murderer: when he meets him, he shall slay him.
20 But if he pushes him from hatred, or hurls at him by lying in wait, that he dies;
21 Or in enmity strikes him with his hand, that he dies: he that struck him shall surely be put to death; for he is a murderer: the avenger of blood shall slay the murderer, when he meets him.
22 But if he pushes him suddenly without enmity, or has cast upon him anything without lying in wait,
23 Or used any stone, by which a man may die, seeing him not, and cast it upon him, that he dies, and was not his enemy, neither sought his harm:
24 Then the congregation shall judge between the slayer and the avenger of blood according to these judgments:
Deuteronomy 4:41-43
41 Then Moses set apart three cities on this side of Jordan toward the sun rising;
42 That the slayer might flee there, who should kill his neighbor unintentionally, and hated him not in times past; and that fleeing unto one of these cities he might live:
43 Namely, Bezer in the wilderness, in the plain country, for the Reubenites; and Ramoth in Gilead, for the Gadites; and Golan in Bashan, for the Manassites.
Deuteronomy 19:2-13
2 You shall set apart three cities for you in the midst of your land, which the LORD your God gives you to possess it.
3 You shall prepare you a way, and divide the territory of your land, which the LORD your God gives you to inherit, into three parts, that every manslayer may flee there.
4 And this is the case of the manslayer, who shall flee there, that he may live: Whoever kills his neighbor unintentionally, whom he hated not in time past;
5 As when a man goes into the wood with his neighbor to hew wood, and his hand swings a stroke with the ax to cut down the tree, and the head slips from the handle, and strikes his neighbor, that he dies; he shall flee unto one of those cities, and live:
6 Lest the avenger of blood pursue the manslayer, while his anger is hot, and overtake him, because the way is long, and slay him; whereas he was not worthy of death, inasmuch as he hated the victim not in time past.
7 Therefore I command you, saying, you shall set apart three cities for you.
8 And if the LORD your God enlarges your border, as he has sworn unto your fathers, and gives you all the land which he promised to give unto your fathers;
9 If you shall keep all these commandments to do them, which I command you this day, to love the LORD your God, and to walk always in his ways; then shall you add three more cities for you, besides these three:
10 That innocent blood be not shed in your land, which the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance, and so blood be upon you.
11 But if any man hate his neighbor, and lie in wait for him, and rise up against him, and wounds him mortally that he dies, and flees into one of these cities:
12 Then the elders of his city shall send and bring him from there, and deliver him into the hand of the avenger of blood, that he may die.
13 Your eye shall not pity him, but you shall put away the guilt of innocent blood from Israel, that it may go well with you.
Romans 8:1
1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
