THE MESSAGE
God spoke to Moses: "Speak to the People of Israel. Tell them, When you cross the River Jordan into the country of Canaan, designate your asylum-cities, towns to which a person who accidentally kills someone can flee for asylum. 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. Provide six asylum-cities. Designate three of the towns to the east side of the Jordan, the other three in Canaan proper—asylum-cities 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.

New American Standard Bible (1995)

Contextual Overview

⁹ Then the Lord said to Moses, ¹⁰ "Tell the Israelites these things: ‘When you cross the Jordan River and go into Canaan, ¹¹ you must choose cities to be cities of safety, so that a person who accidentally kills someone may run to them for safety. ¹² There the person will be safe from the dead person's relative who has the duty of punishing the killer. He will not die before he receives a fair trial in court. ¹³ The six cities you give will be cities of safety. ¹⁴ Give three cities east of the Jordan River and three cities in Canaan as cities of safety. ¹⁵ These six cities will be places of safety for citizens of Israel, as well as for foreigners and other people living with you. Any of these people who accidentally kills someone may run to one of these cities. ¹⁶ "‘Anyone who uses an iron weapon to kill someone is a murderer. He must be put to death. ¹⁷ Anyone who takes a rock and kills a person with it is a murderer. He must be put to death. ¹⁸ Anyone who picks up a piece of wood and kills someone with it is a murderer. He must be put to death.
