- three cities:
- "Then¹ Mosesª severedª° threeª citiesª on this sideª Jordanª toward the sunrising;ªª ... [Namely],¹ Bezerª in the wilderness,ª in the plainª country,ª of the Reubenites;ª and Ramothª in Gilead,ª of the Gadites;ª and Golanª in Bashan,ª of the Manassites.ª" {Deu 4:41-43} + "And if¹ the LORDª thy Godª enlargeª°¹ thy coast,ª as¹ he hath swornª° unto thy fathers,ª and giveª° thee¹ all¹ the landª which¹ he promisedª° to giveª° unto thy fathers;ª ... That innocentª bloodª be not¹ shedª° inª thy land,ª which¹ the LORDª thy Godª givethª° thee [for] an inheritance,ª and [so] bloodª be¹ upon¹ thee." {Deu 19:8-10} + "And they appointedª°¹ Kedeshª in Galileeª in mountª Naphtali,ª and Shechemª in mountª Ephraim,ª and Kirjatharba,ª which¹ [is] Hebron,ª in the mountainª of Judah.ª ... These¹ were¹ the citiesª appointedª for all¹ the childrenª of Israel,ª and for the strangerª that sojournethª° amongª them, that whosoever¹ killethª° [any] personª at unawaresª might fleeª° thither,¹ and not¹ dieª° by the handª of the avengerª° of blood,ª until¹ he stoodª° beforeª the congregation.ª" {Jsh 20:7-9}
