Deuteronomy 4:40-42

International Children’s Bible

⁴⁰ Obey his laws and commands, which I am giving you today. Obey them so that things will go well for you and your children. Then you will live a long time in this land. The Lord your God is giving it to you forever.

Cities of Safety

⁴¹ Moses chose three cities east of the Jordan River. ⁴² A person who killed someone accidentally could go there. He did not hate the person he killed. So he could save his life by running to one of these cities.
