Números 35

And they shall be unto you cities for refuge from the avenger; that the manslayer die not, until he stand before the congregation in judgment.

Y os serán aquellas ciudades por acogimiento del pariente, y no morirá el homicida hasta que esté á juicio delante de la congregación.

The cities shall be for your refuge from the avenger, that the man slayer not die until he stands before the congregation for judgment.
