So the sons of Israel gave the Levites from their inheritance these cities with their pasture lands, in accordance with the command of the Lord.

So to the sons of Aaron the priest they gave Hebron, the city of refuge for the one who commits manslaughter, with its pasture lands, Libnah with its pasture lands,

The Lord will also be a stronghold for the oppressed, A stronghold in times of trouble;

And there will be a shelter to give shade from the heat by day, and refuge and protection from the storm and the rain.

“ Come to Me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

My salvation and my glory rest on God; The rock of my strength, my refuge is in God.Trust in Him at all times, you people; Pour out your hearts before Him; God is a refuge for us. Selah

So the cities which you are to provide shall be six cities of refuge for you.You shall provide three cities across the Jordan, and three cities in the land of Canaan; they are to be cities of refuge.

“ Speak to the sons of Israel, saying,‘ Designate the cities of refuge, of which I spoke to you through Moses,so that one who commits manslaughter by killing a person unintentionally, without premeditation, may flee there, and they shall become your refuge from the avenger of blood.Then he shall flee to one of these cities, and shall stand at the entrance of the gate of the city, and state his case in the presence of the elders of that city; and they shall receive him into the city to them and give him a place, so that he may remain among them.Now if the avenger of blood pursues him, then they are not to hand the one who committed manslaughter over to him, since he struck his neighbor without premeditation and did not hate him previously.And he shall remain in that city until he stands before the congregation for judgment, until the death of the one who is high priest in those days. Then he shall return to his own city and to his own house, to the city from which he fled.’ ”So they set apart Kedesh in Galilee in the hill country of Naphtali, and Shechem in the hill country of Ephraim, and Kiriath arba( that is, Hebron) in the hill country of Judah.And beyond the Jordan east of Jericho, they designated Bezer in the wilderness on the plain from the tribe of Reuben, and Ramoth in Gilead from the tribe of Gad, and Golan in Bashan from the tribe of Manasseh.These were the designated cities for all the sons of Israel and for the stranger who resides among them, so that whoever kills a person unintentionally may flee there, and not die by the hand of the avenger of blood until he stands before the congregation.

Then Moses set apart three cities across the Jordan to the east,for one to flee there who unintentionally killed his neighbor, without having hatred for him in time past; and by fleeing to one of these cities he might live:Bezer in the wilderness on the plateau for the Reubenites, Ramoth in Gilead for the Gadites, and Golan in Bashan for the Manassites.

so that by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have taken refuge would have strong encouragement to hold firmly to the hope set before us.

Look to the right and see; For there is no one who regards me favorably; There is no escape for me; No one cares for my soul.I cried out to You, Lord; I said,“ You are my refuge, My portion in the land of the living.
