And LORD spoke to Joshua, saying,

Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, Assign for you the cities of refuge, of which I spoke to you by Moses,

that the manslayer who kills any soul unwittingly [and] unawares may flee there. And they shall be to you for a refuge from the avenger of blood.

And he shall flee to one of those cities, and shall stand at the entrance of the gate of the city, and declare his case in the ears of the elders of that city. And they shall take him into the city to them, and give him a place, th

And he shall dwell in that city, until he stands before the congregation for judgment, until the death of the high priest who shall be in those days. Then the manslayer shall return, and come to his own city, and to his own house,

The sons of Merari according to their families had out of the tribe of Reuben, and out of the tribe of Gad, and out of the tribe of Zebulun, twelve cities.

And the sons of Israel gave these cities by lot to the Levites with their suburbs, as LORD commanded by Moses.

But the fields of the city, and the villages of it, gave they to Caleb the son of Jephunneh for his possession.

And to the sons of Aaron the priest they gave Hebron with its suburbs, the city of refuge for the manslayer, and Libnah with its suburbs,

and Ain with its suburbs, and Juttah with its suburbs, [and] Beth-shemesh with its suburbs; nine cities out of those two tribes.

And out of the half-tribe of Manasseh, Taanach with its suburbs, and Gath-rimmon with its suburbs; two cities.

And to the sons of Gershon, of the families of the Levites, out of the half-tribe of Manasseh [they gave] Golan in Bashan with its suburbs, the city of refuge for the manslayer, and Be-eshterah with its suburbs; two cities.

And LORD gave them rest round about, according to all that he swore to their fathers. And there stood not a man of all their enemies before them. LORD delivered all their enemies into their hand.

There failed not anything of any good thing which LORD had spoken to the house of Israel; all came to pass.

and said to them, Ye have kept all that Moses the servant of LORD commanded you, and have hearkened to my voice in all that I commanded you.

Ye have not left your brothers these many days to this day, but have kept the charge of the commandment of LORD your God.
