15 These six cities shall be a refuge, both for the children of Israel, and for the stranger, and for the sojourner among them: that every one that killeth any person unawares may flee thither.

7 So all the cities which ye shall give to the Levites shall be forty and eight cities: them shall ye give with their suburbs.

8 And the cities which ye shall give shall be of the possession of the children of Israel: from them that have many ye shall give many; but from them that have few ye shall give few: every one shall give of his cities unto the Levites according to his inheritance which he inheriteth.

23 Or with any stone, wherewith a man may die, seeing him not, and cast it upon him, that he die, and was not his enemy, neither sought his harm:

28 Because he should have remained in the city of his refuge until the death of the high priest: but after the death of the high priest the slayer shall return into the land of his possession.

29 So these things shall be for a statute of * judgment unto you throughout your generations in all your dwellings.

ND the chief fathers of the families of the
children of Gilead, the son of Machir, the
son of Manasseh, of the families of the sons
of Joseph, came near, and spake before Moses,
and before the princes, the chief fathers of the
children of Israel:

2 And they said, The LORD commanded my
lord to give the land for an inheritance by lote
to the children of Israel: and my lord was
commanded by the LORD to give the inheritance
of Zelophehad our brother unto his daughters.
3 And if they be married to any of the sons
of the other tribes of the children of Israel,
then shall their inheritance be taken from the
inheritance of our fathers, and shall be put toi
the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they are
received: so shall it be taken from the lot of
our inheritance.

4 And when the jubilee of the children of Israel shall be, then shall their inheritance be put unto the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they are received: so shall their inheritance be taken away from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers.
