Numbers 35:9-15 (MSG)
[9] GOD spoke to Moses: [10] "Speak to the People of Israel. Tell them, When you cross the River Jordan into the country of Canaan, [11] designate your asylum-cities, towns to which a person who accidentally kills someone can flee for asylum. [12] They will be places of refuge from the avenger so that the alleged murderer won't be killed until he can appear before the community in court. [13] Provide six asylum-cities. [14] Designate three of the towns to the east side of the Jordan, the other three in Canaan proper—asylum-cities [15] for the People of Israel, for the foreigner, and for any occasional visitors or guests—six asylum-cities to run to for anyone who accidentally kills another.
Numbers 35:26-27 (MSG)
But if the murderer leaves the asylum-city to which he has fled, and the avenger finds him outside the borders of his asylum-city, the avenger has a right to kill the murderer. And he's not considered guilty of murder.
And all the people went their way to eat and drink and to send portions and to make great rejoicing, because they had understood the words that were declared to them (Nehemiah 8:12).
