Joshua 20:1-3

International Children’s Bible

Cities of Safety

20 Then the Lord said to Joshua: ² “Tell the Israelites to choose the special cities of safety. This is what I had Moses command you to do. ³ A person might kill someone accidentally and without meaning to kill him. He may go to a city of safety to hide. There he will be safe from the relative who has the duty of punishing a murderer.
