Cities of Refuge

19 “When the Lord your God destroys those nations whose lands he^[a] is about to give you, you must dispossess them and live in their cities and houses. ² You must reserve^[b] three cities within the land that the Lord your God is about to give you to possess. ³ Build roads throughout the land that the Lord your God is providing as an inheritance, and then divide it into three districts so that any killer may flee there.
