Numbers 35:10-12

New Century Version

¹⁰ “Tell the Israelites these things: ‘When you cross the Jordan River and go into Canaan, ¹¹ you must choose cities to be cities of safety, so that a person who accidentally kills someone may run to them for safety. ¹² There the person will be safe from the dead person’s relative who has the duty of punishing the killer. He will not die before he receives a fair trial in court.
