“Tell the Israelites to designate the cities of refuge, as I instructed you through Moses,
“Six of the towns you give the Levites will be cities of refuge, to which a person who has killed someone may flee. In addition, give them forty-two other towns.
Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,
Then the Lord said to Joshua:
so that anyone who kills a person accidentally and unintentionally may flee there and find protection from the avenger of blood.
