Joshua:20:3-6

*
That the slayer that killeth any person unawares and unwittingly may flee thither :
and they shall be your refuge from the avenger of blood .
*
And when he that doth flee unto one of those cities shall stand at the entering of the gate of the city ,
and shall declare his cause in the ears of the elders of that city ,
they shall take him into the city unto them ,
and give him a place ,
that he may dwell among them .
*
And if the avenger of blood pursue after him ,
then they shall not deliver the slayer up into his hand ;
because he smote his neighbour unwittingly ,
and hated him not beforetime .
*
And he shall dwell in that city ,
until he stand before the congregation for judgment ,
and until the death of the high priest that shall be in those days :
then shall the slayer return ,
and come unto his own city ,
and unto his own house ,
unto the city from whence he fled .
