06:020:005 And if the avenger of blood pursue after
him, then they shall
not
deliver the slayer up into his hand; because he smote
his
neighbour
unwittingly, and hated him not beforetime.
06:020:006 And he shall dwell in that city, until
he stand before the
congregation
for judgment, and until the death of the high
priest
that shall be in those days: then shall the slayer
return,
and come unto his own city, and unto his own house,
unto
the city from whence he fled.
06:020:007 And they appointed Kedesh in Galilee in
mount Naphtali, and
Shechem
in mount Ephraim, and Kirjatharba, which is Hebron,
in
the
mountain of Judah.
06:020:008 And on the other side Jordan by Jericho
eastward, they
assigned
Bezer in the wilderness upon the plain out of the
tribe
of Reuben, and Ramoth in Gilead out of the tribe of
Gad,
and
Golan in Bashan out of the tribe of Manasseh.
06:020:009 These were the cities appointed for all
the children of
Israel,
and for the stranger that sojourneth among them, that
whosoever
killeth any person at unawares might flee thither,
and
not die by the hand of the avenger of blood, until
he
stood
before the congregation.
06:021:001 Then came near the heads of the fathers
of the Levites unto
Eleazar
the priest, and unto Joshua the son of Nun, and unto
the
heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children
of
Israel;
06:021:002 And they spake unto them at Shiloh in the
land of Canaan,
saying,
The lord commanded by the hand of Moses to give
us
cities
to dwell in, with the suburbs thereof for our cattle.
06:021:003 And the children of Israel gave unto the
Levites out of their
inheritance,
at the commandment of the lord, these cities and
their
suburbs.
06:021:004 And the lot came out for the families of
the Kohathites: and
the
children of Aaron the priest, which were of the Levites,
had
by lot out of the tribe of Judah, and out of the tribe
of
Simeon,
and out of the tribe of Benjamin, thirteen cities.
06:021:005 And the rest of the children of Kohath
had by lot out of the
families
of the tribe of Ephraim, and out of the tribe of Dan,
and
out of the half tribe of Manasseh, ten cities.
06:021:006 And the children of Gershon had by lot
out of the families of
the
tribe of Issachar, and out of the tribe of Asher, and
out
of
the tribe of Naphtali, and out of the half tribe of
Manasseh
in Bashan, thirteen cities.
06:021:007 The children of Merari by 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.
