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}
