"And they appointed Kedesh in Galilee in mount Naphtali,
and Shechem in mount Ephraim, and Kirjath-arba, which is
Hebron, in the mountain of Judah. And on the other side
Jordan, by Jericho eastward, they assigned Bezer in the
wilderness upon the plain out of the tribe of Reuben, and
Ramoth in Gilead out of the tribe of Gad, and Golan in
Bashan out of the Tribe of Manasseh. These were the cities
appointed for all the Children of Israel, and for the
stranger that sojourneth among them, that whosoever Killeth
any person at unawares might flee thither, and not die by
the hand of the Avenger of Blood, until he stood before the
Congregation."-JOSH. xx. 7-9.
