New American Standard Bible
6 And he shall remain in that city (A)until he stands before the congregation for judgment, until the death of the one who is high priest in those days. Then [a]he shall [b]return to his own city and to his own house, to the city from which he fled.’”
7 So they [c]set apart (B)Kedesh in [d]Galilee in the hill country of Naphtali, and Shechem in the hill country of Ephraim, and Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron) in (C)the hill country of Judah. 8 And beyond the Jordan east of Jericho, they [e]designated Bezer in the wilderness on the plain from the tribe of Reuben, and Ramoth in Gilead from the tribe of Gad, and Golan in Bashan from the tribe of Manasseh.

New International Version
6 They are to stay in that city until they have stood trial before the assembly(A) and until the death of the high priest who is serving at that time. Then they may go back to their own home in the town from which they fled.”
7 So they set apart Kedesh(B) in Galilee in the hill country of Naphtali, Shechem(C) in the hill country of Ephraim, and Kiriath Arba(D) (that is, Hebron(E)) in the hill country of Judah.(F) 8 East of the Jordan (on the other side from Jericho) they designated Bezer(G) in the wilderness on the plateau in the tribe of Reuben, Ramoth in Gilead(H) in the tribe of Gad, and Golan in Bashan(I) in the tribe of Manasseh.
