Numbers 35:10-15 Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou shalt say unto them,––When ye are passing over the Jordan, unto the land of Canaan,

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁰ Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou shalt say unto them,––When ye are passing over the Jordan, unto the land of Canaan, ¹¹ then shall ye find for you, convenient cities, cities of refuge, shall they be unto you,––and the manslayer, who hath slain a person, by mistake, shall flee thither. ¹² So shall the cities serve you for places of refuge from the redeemer,––that the manslayer may not die, until he has stood before the assembly, for judgment. ¹³ And, as touching the cities which ye shall give, six cities of refuge, shall there be unto you. ¹⁴ Three of the cities, shall ye give, on this side the Jordan, and, three of the cities, shall ye give in the land of Canaan,––cities of refuge, shall they be. ¹⁵ For the sons of Israel, and for the sojourner, and for the settler in your midst, shall these six cities serve, as places of refuge,––that any one may flee thither who hath slain a person, by mistake.
