Deuteronomy 19

⁸ And if the LORD your God enlarges your territory, as He swore to your fathers, and gives you all the land He promised them,

⁹ and if you carefully keep all these commandments I am giving you today, loving the LORD your God and walking in His ways at all times, then you are to add three more cities to these three.

¹⁰ Thus innocent blood will not be shed in the land that the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance, so that you will not be guilty of bloodshed.

¹¹ If, however, a man hates his neighbor and lies in wait, attacks him and kills him, and then flees to one of these cities,

¹² the elders of his city must send for him, bring him back, and hand him over to the avenger of blood to die.
