13And the cities that you give shall be your asix cities of refuge. 14 bYou shall give three cities beyond the Jordan, and three cities in the land of Canaan, to be cities of refuge. 15These six cities shall be for refuge for the people of Israel, and cfor the stranger and for the sojourner among them, that anyone who kills any person without intent may flee there.

Joshua 20:7-9

7So they set apart dKedesh in Galilee in the hill country of Naphtali, and eShechem in the hill country of Ephraim, and fKiriath-arba (that is, Hebron) gin the hill country of Judah. 8And beyond the Jordan east of Jericho, they appointed hBezer in the wilderness on the tableland, from the tribe of Reuben, and iRamoth in Gilead, from the tribe of Gad, and jGolan in Bashan, from the tribe of Manasseh. 9These were the cities designated for all the people of Israel and kfor the stranger sojourning among them, that anyone who killed a person without intent could flee there, so that he might not die by the hand of the avenger of blood, till he stood before the congregation.
