2"Tell the Israelites to designate the cities of refuge, as I instructed you through Moses,
“Speak to the children of Israel, saying, Appoint for yourselves cities of refuge, of which I spoke to you through Moses,”
“Speak to the children of Israel, saying, Appoint out for you cities of refuge, whereof I speak unto you by the hand of Moses,”
3so that anyone who kills another unintentionally or accidentally may flee there. These will be your refuge from the avenger of blood.
“that the slayer that killeth any person unawares and unwittingly may flee thither, and they shall 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.
“When he that doth flee unto one of those cities shall stand at the entering of the gate of the city, and shall declare his cause in the ears of the elders of that city, they shall take him into the city unto them, and give him a…”

“And when he who doth flee unto one of those cities shall stand at the entrance of the gate of the city, and shall declare his cause in the ears of the elders of that city, they shall take him into the city unto them, and give him…”
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.
“Then if the avenger of blood pursues him, they shall not deliver the slayer into his hand, because he struck his neighbor unintentionally, but did not hate him beforehand.”
“And if the avenger of blood pursue after him, then they shall not deliver the slayer up into his hand, because he smote his neighbor unwittingly, and hated him not”
“And if the avenger of blood pursue after him, then they shall not deliver the slayer up into his hand, because he smote his neighbor without premeditation, and hated him not”
6He is to stay in that city until he stands trial before the assembly and until the death of the high priest serving at that time. Then the manslayer may return to his own home in the city from which he fled."
“He shall dwell in that city until he stand before the congregation for judgment, and until the death of the high priest that shall be in those days. Then shall the slayer return, and come unto his own city, and unto his own…”
“And he shall dwell in the city until he stands before the congregation for judgment, and until the death of one who is high priest in those days. Then the slayer may return and come to his own city, and his own house, and to the…”
7So they set apart Kedesh in Galilee in the hill country of Naphtali, Shechem in the hill country of Ephraim, and Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron) in the hill country of Judah.
“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.”
8And beyond the Jordan, east of Jericho, they designated Bezer on the wilderness plateau from the tribe of Reuben, Ramoth in Gilead from the tribe of Gad, and Golan in Bashan from the tribe of Manasseh.
“And on the other side, the east 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…”
“And on the other side of Jordan, by Jericho Iswood, they assigned Bizar in the wilderness on the plain from the tribe of Reuben, and Ramoth in Gilead from the tribe of Gad, and Golan in Bashan from the tribe of Manasseh.”
“And on the other side, Jordan, by Jericho eastward, they assigned Bezer in the wilderness, from the plain out of the tribe of Reuben, and Ramoth in Gilead out of the tribe of Ger, and Golan Basin out of the tribe of Manasseh.”
9These are the cities appointed for all the Israelites and foreigners among them, so that anyone who kills a person unintentionally may flee there and not die by the hand of the avenger of blood prior to standing trial before the assembly.
“These were the cities appointed for all the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them, that whosoever killeth any person it unawares might flee thither, and not die by the hand of the avenger of blood,…”
“These were the cities appointed for all the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourned among them, that whosoever killeth one person, any person, as unawares might flee thither, and not die by the hand of the avenger…”
