Contextual Overview

⁹Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, ¹⁰"Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, ‘When you cross the Jordan into the land of Canaan, ¹¹then you shall select for yourselves cities to be your cities of refuge, that the manslayer who has struck down any person unintentionally may flee there. ¹²And the cities shall be for you as a refuge from the avenger, so that the manslayer will not die until he stands before the congregation for judgment. ¹³And the cities which you are to give shall be your six cities of refuge. ¹⁴You shall give three cities across the Jordan and three cities in the land of Canaan; they are to be cities of refuge. ¹⁵These six cities shall be for refuge for the sons of Israel and for the sojourner and for the foreign resident among them; that anyone who strikes a person down unintentionally may flee there. ¹⁶‘But if he struck him down with an iron object, so that he died, he is a murderer; the murderer shall surely be put to death. ¹⁷And if he struck him down with a stone in the hand, by which he would die, and as a result he died, he is a murderer; the murderer shall surely be put to death. ¹⁸Or if he struck him with a wooden object in the hand, by which he would die, and as a result he died, he is a murderer; the murderer shall surely be put to death.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And of these cities which ye shall give,.... Of the forty eight cities they were to give to the Levites, Numbers 35:7,

six cities shall ye have for refuge; which, I think, makes it clear, that not all the forty eight cities were for refuge, only six of them.
