Numbers 35

¹² You are to have these cities as a refuge from the avenger, so that the manslayer will not die until he stands trial before the assembly.

¹³ The cities you select will be your six cities of refuge.

¹⁴ Select three cities across the Jordan and three in the land of Canaan as cities of refuge.

¹⁵ These six cities will serve as a refuge for the Israelites and for the foreigner or stranger among them, so that anyone who kills a person unintentionally may flee there.

¹⁶ If, however, anyone strikes a person with an iron object and kills him, he is a murderer; the murderer must surely be put to death.
