Numbers 35:6-15

[6] And among the cities  which ye shall give  unto the Levites  there shall be six  cities  for refuge,  which ye shall appoint  for the manslayer,  that he may flee  thither: and to them ye shall add  forty  and two  cities.  [7] So all the cities  which ye shall give  to the Levites  shall be forty  and eight  cities:  them shall ye give with their suburbs.  [8] And the cities  which ye shall give  shall be of the possession  of the children  of Israel:  from them that have many  ye shall give many;  but from them that have few  ye shall give few:  every one  shall give  of his cities  unto the Levites  according  to his inheritance  which he inheriteth.  [9] spake  unto Moses,  saying,  [10] Speak  unto the children  of Israel,  and say  unto them, When ye be come over  Jordan  into the land  of Canaan;  [11] Then ye shall appoint  you cities  of refuge  for you; that the slayer  may flee  thither, which killeth  any person  at unawares.  [12] And they shall be unto you cities  for refuge  from the avenger;  that the manslayer  die  not, until he stand  before  the congregation  in judgment.  [13] And of these cities  which ye shall give  six  cities  shall ye have for refuge.  [14] Ye shall give  three  cities  on this side  Jordan,  and three  cities  shall ye give  in the land  of Canaan,  which shall be cities  of refuge.  [15] These six  cities  shall be a refuge,  both for the children  of Israel,  and for the stranger,  and for the sojourner  among  them: that every one that killeth  any person  unawares  may flee
