In context

1When the LORD your God has cut off the nations whose land He is giving you, and when you have driven them out and settled in their cities and houses,

2Then you are to set apart for yourselves three cities within the land that the LORD your God is giving you to possess.

3You are to build roads for yourselves and divide into three regions the land that the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance, so that any manslayer can flee to these cities.

4Now this is the situation regarding the manslayer who flees to one of these cities to save his life, having killed his neighbor accidentally, without intending to harm him:

5If he goes into the forest with his neighbor to cut timber and swings his axe to chop down a tree, but the blade flies off the handle and strikes and kills his neighbor, he may flee to one of these cities to save his life.
