drb @Joshua:20:1 @And the Lord spoke to Josue , saying : Speak to the children of Israel and say to them : drb @Joshua:20:2 @Appoint cities of refuge , a of which I spoke to you by the hand of Moses : drb @Joshua:20:3 @That whosoever shall kill a person unawares may flee to them : and may escape the wrath of the kinsman , who is the avenger of blood : drb @Joshua:20:4 @And when he shall flee to one of these cities : he shall stand before the gate of the city , and shall speak to the ancients of that city , such things as prove him innocent : and so shall they receive him , and give him a place to dwell in . drb @Joshua:20:5 @And when the avenger of blood shall pursue him , they shall not deliver him into his hands , because he slew his neighbour unawares , and is not proved to have been his enemy two or three days before . drb @Joshua:20:6 @And he shall dwell in that city , till he stand before judgment to give an account of his fact , and till the death of the high priest , who shall be at that time : then shall the manslayer return , and go into his own city and house from whence he fled . drb @Joshua:20:7 @And they appointed Cedes in Galilee of mount Nephtali , and Sichem in mount Ephraim , and Cariath-Arbe , the same is Hebron in the mountain of Juda . drb @Joshua:20:8 @And beyond the Jordan to the east of Jericho , they appointed Bosor , which is upon the plain of the wilderness of the tribe of Ruben , and Ramoth in Galaad of the tribe of Cad , and Gaulon in Basan of the tribe of Manasses . drb @Joshua:20:9 @These cities were appointed for all the children of Israel , and for the strangers , that dwelt among them : that whosoever had killed a person unawares might flee to them , and not die by the hand of the kinsman , coveting to revenge the blood that was shed , until he should stand before the people to lay open his cause .
