Joshua 20:5-7

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁵ And if the avenger of blood pursues him, they shall not give up the slayer into his hand; because he killed his neighbor unwittingly, having had no enmity against him in times past. ⁶ And he shall remain in that city until he has stood before the congregation for judgment, until the death of him who is high priest at the time: then the slayer may go again to his own town and his own home, to the town from which he fled.’”

⁷ So they set apart Kedesh in Galilee in the hill country of Naph′tali, and Shechem in the hill country of E′phraim, and Kir′iath-ar′ba (that is, Hebron) in the hill country of Judah.
