Numbers 35:24-26

GOD’S WORD Translation

²⁴ Then the community must use these rules in order to decide if you ⌞are innocent⌟ or if the dead person’s relative can avenge the death. ²⁵ ⌞If you are innocent,⌟ the community must protect you from that relative.

²⁶ “But don’t go outside the city of refuge you fled to.
