Deuteronomy 19:1-3

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

19 When the Lord your God has cut off the nations whose land the Lord your God gives you, and you dispossess them and dwell in their cities and in their houses,

² You shall set apart three cities for yourselves in the land which the Lord your God gives you to possess.

³ You shall prepare the road and divide into three parts the territory of your land which the Lord your God gives you to possess, so that any manslayer can flee to them.
