So the Israelites, by the LORD’s command, gave the Levites these cities with their pasturelands from their inheritance.

They gave to the descendants of the priest Aaron: Hebron, the city of refuge for the one who commits manslaughter, with its pasturelands, Libnah with its pasturelands,

From the tribe of Gad they gave: Ramoth in Gilead, the city of refuge for the one who commits manslaughter, with its pasturelands, Mahanaim with its pasturelands,

From the tribe of Reuben they gave: Bezer with its pasturelands, Jahzah with its pasturelands,

From half the tribe of Manasseh, they gave to the descendants of Gershon, who were one of the Levite clans: Golan, the city of refuge for the one who commits manslaughter, with its pasturelands in Bashan, and Beeshterah with its pasturelands— two cities.

The Israelites gave them: Shechem, the city of refuge for the one who commits manslaughter, with its pasturelands in the hill country of Ephraim, Gezer with its pasturelands,

From the tribe of Naphtali they gave: Kedesh in Galilee, the city of refuge for the one who commits manslaughter, with its pasturelands, Hammoth-dor with its pasturelands, and Kartan with its pasturelands— three cities.

The LORD is a refuge for the persecuted, a refuge in times of trouble.

and there will be a shelter for shade from heat by day and a refuge and shelter from storm and rain.

“ Come to me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

My salvation and glory depend on God, my strong rock. My refuge is in God.Trust in him at all times, you people; pour out your hearts before him. God is our refuge. Selah

The cities you select will be your six cities of refuge.Select three cities across the Jordan and three cities in the land of Canaan to be cities of refuge.

“ Tell the Israelites: Select your cities of refuge, as I instructed you through Moses,so that a person who kills someone unintentionally or accidentally may flee there. These will be your refuge from the avenger of blood.When someone flees to one of these cities, stands at the entrance of the city gate, and states his case before the elders of that city, they are to bring him into the city and give him a place to live among them.And if the avenger of blood pursues him, they must not hand the one who committed manslaughter over to him, for he killed his neighbor accidentally and did not hate him beforehand.He is to stay in that city until he stands trial before the assembly and until the death of the high priest serving at that time. Then the one who committed manslaughter may return home to his own city from which he fled.”So they designated Kedesh in the hill country of Naphtali in Galilee, Shechem in the hill country of Ephraim, and Kiriath-arba( that is, Hebron) in the hill country of Judah.Across the Jordan east of Jericho, they selected Bezer on the wilderness plateau from Reuben’s tribe, Ramoth in Gilead from Gad’s tribe, and Golan in Bashan from Manasseh’s tribe.These are the cities appointed for all the Israelites and the aliens residing among them, so that anyone who kills a person unintentionally may flee there and not die at the hand of the avenger of blood until he stands before the assembly.

Then Moses set apart three cities across the Jordan to the east.Someone could flee there who committed manslaughter, killing his neighbor accidentally without previously hating him. He could flee to one of these cities and stay alive:Bezer in the wilderness on the plateau land, belonging to the Reubenites; Ramoth in Gilead, belonging to the Gadites; or Golan in Bashan, belonging to the Manassites.

so that through two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to seize the hope set before us.

Look to the right and see: no one stands up for me; there is no refuge for me; no one cares about me.I cry to you, LORD; I say,“ You are my shelter, my portion in the land of the living.”
