Deuteronomy 19:1-3

New Life Version

The Cities to Be a Safe Place

19 “The Lord your God will destroy the nations whose land the Lord your God gives you. You will take their place and live in their cities and in their houses. At that time ² you should set apart three cities for yourself in the land the Lord your God gives you for your own. ³ Make the roads good that lead to these cities. Divide into three parts the land the Lord your God gives you for your own. Any man who kills another may run to a city and be safe.
