In context
11you shall select cities to serve as cities of refuge for you, so that a man who kills someone unintentionally may flee there. 12These cities will be a refuge for you from the avenger, so that the one who has killed does not die before he has stood trial before the congregation. 13Of the cities that you give, six shall be cities of refuge for you. 14You shall give three cities on the other side of the Jordan and three cities in the land of Canaan; they shall be cities of refuge. 15These six cities shall be a refuge for the Israelites, and for the foreigner and the settler among them, so that anyone who kills a person unintentionally may flee there.
