Joshua 20:3-5
New American Standard Bible 1995
3 that the manslayer who [a]kills any person unintentionally, without premeditation, may flee there, and they shall become your refuge from the avenger of blood. 4 He shall flee to one of these cities, and shall stand at the entrance of the (A)gate of the city and state his case in the hearing of the elders of that city; and they shall [b]take him into the city to them and give him a place, so that he may dwell among them. 5 Now (B)if the avenger of blood pursues him, then they shall not deliver the manslayer into his hand, because he struck his neighbor without premeditation and did not hate him beforehand.
