  1. Yahweh spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho, saying,
  2. Command the children of Israel that they give to the Levites of the inheritance of their possession cities to dwell in; and You shall give suburbs for the cities around them to the Levites.
  3. The cities shall they have to dwell in; and their suburbs shall be for their livestock, and for their substance, and for all their animals.
  4. The suburbs of the cities, which you shall give to the Levites, shall be from the wall of the city and outward one thousand cubits around it.
  5. You shall measure outside of the city for the east side two thousand cubits, and for the south side two thousand cubits, and for the west side two thousand cubits, and for the north side two thousand cubits, the city being in the midst. This shall be to them the suburbs of the cities.
  6. The cities which you shall give to the Levites, they shall be the six cities of refuge, which you shall give for the manslayer to flee to: and besides them you shall give forty-two cities.
  7. All the cities which you shall give to the Levites shall be forty-eight cities together with their suburbs.
  8. Concerning the cities which you shall give of the possession of the children of Israel, from the many you shall take many; and from the few you shall take few: everyone according to his inheritance which he inherits shall give of his cities to the Levites.
  9. Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
  10. Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, When you pass over the Jordan into the land of Canaan,
  11. then you shall appoint you cities to be cities of refuge for you, that the manslayer who kills any person unwittingly may flee there.
  12. The cities shall be to you for refuge from the avenger, that the manslayer not die, until he stands before the congregation for judgment.
  13. The cities which you shall give shall be for you six cities of refuge.
  14. You shall give three cities beyond the Jordan, and you shall give three cities in the land of Canaan; they shall be cities of refuge.
  15. For the children of Israel, and for the stranger and for the foreigner living among them, shall these six cities be for refuge; that everyone who kills any person unwittingly may flee there.
  16. But if he struck him with an instrument of iron, so that he died, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
  17. If he struck him with a stone in the hand, by which a man may die, and he died, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
  18. Or if he struck him with a weapon of wood in the hand, by which a man may die, and he died, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
  19. The avenger of blood shall himself put the murderer to death: when he meets him, he shall put him to death.
  20. If he thrust him of hatred, or hurled at him, lying in wait, so that he died,
