Joshua 20:5

And if the avenger of blood pursues him, they must not hand the one who committed manslaughter over to him, for he killed his neighbor accidentally and did not hate him beforehand.

Numbers 35:12

You will have the cities as a refuge from the avenger, so that the one who kills someone will not die until he stands trial before the assembly.

Numbers 35:25

The assembly is to protect the one who kills someone from the hand of the avenger of blood. Then the assembly will return him to the city of refuge he fled to, and he must live there until the death of the high priest who was anointed with the holy oil.
