Chapter 20
The
Lord
also
spake
unto
Joshua,
saying,
2
Speak
to
the
children
of
Israel,
saying,
Appoint
out
for
you
cities
of
refuge,
whereof
I
spake
unto
you
by
the
hand
of
Moses:
3
That
the
slayer
that
killeth
any
person
unawares
and
unwittingly
may
flee
thither:
and
they
shall
be
your
refuge
from
the
avenger
of
blood.
4
And
when
he
that
doth
flee
unto
one
of
those
cities
shall
stand
at
the
entering
of
the
gate
of
the
city,
and
shall
declare
his
cause
in
the
ears
of
the
elders
of
that
city,
they
shall
take
him
into
the
city
unto
them,
and
give
him
a
place,
that
he
may
dwell
among
them.
5
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.
6
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.
7
And
they
appointed
Kedesh
in
Galilee
in
mount
Naphtali,
and
Shechem
in
mount
Ephraim,
and
Kirjath-arba,
which
is
Hebron,
in
the
mountain
of
Judah.
8
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.
9
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.
