Joshua 20:9

These were the cities appointed for all the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourns among them, that whosoever kills any person accidentally might flee there, and not die by the hand of the avenger of blood, until he stood before the congregation.

Verse 8 Read Chapter 20

George Leo Haydock

AD 1849
