Speak to the children of Israel, saying, Appoint for yourselves cities of refuge, of which I spoke unto you by the hand of Moses:
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.
There is therefore now no condemnation to them who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
The LORD also spoke unto Joshua, saying,
That the slayer that kills any person accidentally and unintentionally may flee there: and they shall be your refuge from the avenger of blood.
