“Tell the Israelites, ‘Assign sanctuary towns, as I instructed you through Moses.
Six of the towns you give the Levites are to be sanctuary towns, where a person who kills someone can run for protection. As well as these towns, give the Levites forty-two more.
So there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
Then the Lord told Joshua,
Then any man who kills somebody by accident, unintentionally, can run there and they will be protected from those who wish to take revenge.
