Then Moses set aside three cities east of the Jordan,

Then Moses set apart three cities east of the Jordan River.

Then Moses set apart three cities across the Jordan to the east,

Then Moses set apart three cities on this side of the Jordan, toward the rising of the sun,

Then Moses set apart three cities beyond the Jordan toward the sunrising;

Then Moses set apart three cities across the Jordan to the east.

Then Moses severed three cities on this side Jordan toward the sunrising;

Now from these towns that you will give to the Levites you must select six towns of refuge to which a person who has killed someone may flee. And you must give them forty-two other towns.

“ You must give three towns on this side of the Jordan, and you must give three towns in the land of Canaan; they must be towns of refuge.These six towns will be places of refuge for the Israelites, and for the foreigner, and for the settler among them, so that anyone who kills any person accidentally may flee there.

“ Have the Israelites select the cities of refuge that I told you about through Moses.Anyone who accidentally kills someone can escape there; these cities will be a place of asylum from the avenger of blood.The one who committed manslaughter should escape to one of these cities, stand at the entrance of the city gate, and present his case to the leaders of that city. They should then bring him into the city, give him a place to stay, and let him live there.When the avenger of blood comes after him, they must not hand over to him the one who committed manslaughter, for he accidentally killed his fellow man without premeditation.He must remain in that city until his case is decided by the assembly and the high priest dies. Then the one who committed manslaughter may return home to the city from which he escaped.”So they selected Kedesh in Galilee in the hill country of Naphtali, Shechem in the hill country of Ephraim, and Kiriath Arba( that is, Hebron) in the hill country of Judah.Beyond the Jordan east of Jericho they selected Bezer in the desert on the plain belonging to the tribe of Reuben, Ramoth in Gilead belonging to the tribe of Gad, and Golan in Bashan belonging to the tribe of Manasseh.These were the cities of refuge appointed for all the Israelites and for resident foreigners living among them. Anyone who accidentally killed someone could escape there and not be executed by the avenger of blood, at least until his case was reviewed by the assembly.
