In context

1Then the LORD said to Joshua,

2“Tell the Israelites to designate the cities of refuge, as I instructed you through Moses,

3So that anyone who kills another unintentionally or accidentally may flee there. These will be your refuge from the avenger of blood.

4When someone flees to one of these cities, stands at the entrance of the city gate, and states his case before its elders, they are to bring him into the city and give him a place to live among them.

5Now if the avenger of blood pursues him, they must not surrender the manslayer into his hand, because that man killed his neighbor accidentally without prior malice.
