14. You will give three cities across the Jordan and three cities in the land of Canaan; they will be cities of refuge.

15. To the Israelites, to the alien, and to the temporary resident in their midst there will be these six cities as a refuge to which anyone who unintentionally kills a person may flee.

16. “ ‘But if he hit him with an object of iron, so that he dies, the killer must surely be put to death.

17. And if he hit him with a stone in the hand, by which he will die, and he does die, he is a killer; the killer must surely be put to death.

18. Or if he hit him with a wooden object, by which he will die, and he does die, he is a killer; the killer must surely be put to death.
