And ye that measure from without the city on the caft fide two thoufand cubits, and on the fouth fide two thoufand cubits, and on the weft fide two thousand cubits, and on the north fide two thousand cubits; and the city all be in the midft: this shall be to them the fuburbs of the cities. 6 And among the cities which ye thall give unto the Levites there ball be fix cities for refuge, which ye shall appoint for the man flayer, that he may flee thither: and to them ye fhall add forty and two cities. 7 So all the cities which ye thall give to the Levites fall be forty and eight cities: them ball ye give with their fuburbs. 8 And the cities which ye shall give ball be of the poffeffion of the children of Ifrael from them that have many ye fhall give many; but from them that have few ye shall give few: every one fhall give of his cities unto the Levites according to his inheritance which he inheritech. 9 And the LORD fpake unto Mofes, faying, 10 Speak unto the children of Ifrael, and fay unto them, When ye be come over Jot. dan into the land of Canaan; 11 Then ye thall appoint you cities to be cities of refuge for you; that the flayer may flee thither, which killeth any perfon at una. wares. 12 And they fhall be unto you cities for re. fuge from the avenger; that the man-layer die not, until he ftand before the congrega tion in judgment. 13 And of thefe cities which ye shall give, fix cities thall ye have for refuge. 14 Ye thall give three cities on this fide Jordan, and three cities thall ye give in the fand of Canaan, which shall be cities of refuge. 15 Thefe fix cities fhall be a refuge, both for the children of Ifrael, and for the firan. ger, and for the fojourner among them; that every one that killeth any perfon unawares may flee thither. 16 And if he fmite him with an inftrument of iron, fo that he die,) he is a murderer: the murderer thall furely be put to death. 17 And if he fmite him with throwing a ftone, (wherewith he may die,) and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer fhall furely be put to death. 18 Or if he fmite him with an hand-weapon of wood, (wherewith he may die, and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer fhall furely be put to death.
