“Have the Israelites select the cities of refuge that I told you about through Moses.
Now from these towns that you will give to the Levites you must select six towns of refuge to which a person who has killed someone may flee. And you must give them forty-two other towns.
There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
The Lord instructed Joshua:
Anyone who accidentally kills someone can escape there; these cities will be a place of asylum from the avenger of blood.
