God commands the Israelites to appoint six cities of refuge.

HE LORD also spake unto Joshua, saying, Speak to the refuge, whereof I spake unto you by the hand of Moses: 3 That the slayer that killeth [any] person unawares [and] unwittingly may flee thither and they shall be your refuge 4 from the avenger of blood. And when he that doth flee unto one of those cities shall stand at the entering of the gate of the city, and shall declare his cause in the ears of the elders of that city, they shall take him into the city unto them, and 5 give him a place, that he may dwell among them. And if the avenger of blood pursue after him, then they shall not deliver the slayer up into his hand; because he smote his neigh6 bour unwittingly, and hated him not beforetime. And he shall dwell in that city, until he stand before the congregation for judgment, [and] until the death of the high priest that shall be in those days: then shall the slayer return, and come unto his own city, and unto his own house, unto the city from whence he fled.

And the children of Israel gave unto the Levites out of their inheritance, at the com4 mandment of the LORD, these cities and their suburbs, And the lot came out for the families of the Kohathites: and the children of Aaron the priest, [which were] of the Levites, had by lot out of the tribe of Judah, and out of the tribe of Simeon, 5 and out of the tribe of Benjamin, thirteen cities.
