Καἰ ἐλάλησεν κύριος τῷ Ἰησοῖ λέγων

Λάλησον τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἴσραὴλ λέγων Δότε τὰς πόλεις τῶν φυγαδευτηρίων ἃς εἶπα πρὸς ὑμᾶς διὰ ¹³ Μωυσῆ.

φυγαδευτήριον τῷ πατάξαντι ψυχὴν ἀκουσίως·
καὶ ἔσονται ὑμῖν αἱ πόλεις φυγαδευτήριον, καὶ οὐκ ἀποθανεῖται ὁ Φονευτὴς ὑπὸ τοῦ ἀγχιστεύοντος τὸ αἷμα, ἕως ἂν καταστῇ ἐναντίον τῆς συναγωγῆς εἰς κρίσιν.

καὶ διέστειλεν τὴν Κάδης ἐν τῇ Γαλειλαίᾳ
ἐν τῷ ὄρει τῷ Νεφθαλεί, καὶ Συχὲμ ἐν τῷ ὄρει τῷ Εφράιμ, καὶ τὴν πόλιν Ἀρβόκ, αὕτη ἐστὶν χεβρὼν ἐν τῷ ὄρει τῷ Ἰούδᾳ.

καὶ ἐν τῷ πέραν τοῦ Ἰορδάνου ἔδωκεν Βόσορ ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ ἐν τῷ
πεδίῳ ἀπὸ τῆς φυλῆς Ῥουβήν, καὶ Ἀρημὼθ ἐν τῇ Γαλαὰδ ἐκ τῆς φυλῆς Γάδ, καὶ τὴν Γαυλῶν ἐν τῇ Βασανείτιδι ἐκ τῆς φυλῆς Μανασσή.

αὗται αἱ πόλεις αἱ ἐπίκλητοι τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰσραὴλ καὶ τῷ προσηλύτῳ τῷ
προσκειμένῳ ἐν αὐτοῖς, καταφυγεῖν ἐκεῖ παντὶ παίοντι ψυχὴν ἀκουκαταστῇ ἔναντι τῆς συναγωγῆς εἰς κρίσιν.

Yahweh spoke to Joshua, saying,

Speak to the children of Israel, saying, Assign you the cities of refuge, whereof I spoke to you by Moses,

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

He shall flee to one of those cities, and shall stand at the entrance of the gate of the city, and declare his cause in the ears of the elders of that city; and they shall take him into the city to them, and give him a place, that he may dwell among them.

If the avenger of blood pursue after him, then they shall not deliver up the manslayer into his hand; because he struck his neighbor unawares, and didn’t hate him before.

He shall dwell in that city, until he stand before the congregation for judgment, until the death of the high priest that shall be in those days: then shall the manslayer return, and come to his own city, and to his own house, to the city from whence he fled.

They set apart Kedesh in Galilee in the hill-country of Naphtali, and Shechem in the hill-country of Ephraim, and Kiriath Arba (the same is Hebron) in the hill-country of Judah.

Beyond the Jordan at Jericho eastward, they assigned Bezer in the wilderness in 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.

These were the appointed cities for all the children of Israel, and for the stranger who sojourns among them, that whoever kills any person unwittingly might flee there, and not die by the hand of the avenger of blood, until he stood before the congregation.
