Chapter 20
The
Lord
also
spake
vnto
Ioshua,
saying,
2
Speake
to
the
children
of
Israel,
saying,
Appoint
out
for
you
cities
of
refuge,
whereof
I
spake
vnto
you
by
the
hand
of
Moses:
3
That
the
slayer
that
killeth
any
person
vnawares
and
vnwittingly,
may
flee
thither:
and
they
shall
be
your
refuge
from
the
auenger
of
blood.
4
And
when
he
that
doeth
flee
vnto
one
of
those
cities,
shall
stand
at
the
entring
of
the
gate
of
the
city,
and
shall
declare
his
cause
in
the
eares
of
the
Elders
of
that
citie;
they
shall
take
him
into
the
citie
vnto
them,
and
giue
him
a
place,
that
he
may
dwell
among
them.
5
And
if
the
auenger
of
blood
pursue
after
him,
then
they
shal
not
deliuer
the
slayer
vp
into
his
hand:
because
hee
smote
his
neighbour
vnwittingly,
and
hated
him
not
beforetime.
6
And
hee
shall
dwell
in
that
citie,
vntill
he
stand
before
the
Congregation
for
iudgement,
and
vntill
the
death
of
the
high
Priest
that
shall
bee
in
those
dayes:
then
shall
the
slayer
returne,
and
come
vnto
his
owne
city,
and
vnto
his
owne
house,
vnto
the
citie
from
whence
he
fled.
7
And
they
appointed
Kedesh
in
Galilee,
in
mount
Naphtali,
and
Shechem
in
mount
Ephraim,
and
Kiriath-arba
(which
is
Hebron)
in
the
mountaine
of
Iudah.
8
And
on
the
other
side
Iordan
by
Iericho
Eastward,
they
assigned
Bezer
in
the
wildernesse
vpon
the
plaine,
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
soiourneth
among
them,
that
whosoeuer
killeth
any
person
at
vnawares
might
flee
thither,
&
not
die
by
the
hand
of
the
auenger
of
blood,
vntill
he
stood
before
the
Congregation.
