Verse 7 is found in chapter 20 of Joshua. Six cities of refuge are designated throughout the different regions of Israel: Kedesh, Shechem, Hebron, Bezer, Ramoth, and Golan. Their distribution facilitates access from different territories. The existence of these cities shows that the promised land also had to be organized around institutions that protected life and guaranteed legal procedures. Territorial distribution therefore included an infrastructure of communal justice.

Da heiligten sie Kedes in Galiläa, auf dem Gebirge Naphthali, und Sichem auf dem Gebirge Ephraim und Kirjath-Arba, das ist Hebron, auf dem Gebirge Juda;
Entonces señalaron a Cedes en Galilea, en el monte de Nephtalí, y a Sichêm en el monte de Ephraim, y a Chîriath-arba, que es Hebrón, en el monte de Judá.
Apartaron Cedes, en Galilea, en la región montañosa de Neftalí; Siquem, en la región montañosa de Efraín; y Quiriat-arba, que es Hebrón, en la región montañosa de Judá.
Ils consacrèrent Kédesch, en Galilée, dans la montagne de Nephthali; Sichem, dans la montagne d'Ephraïm; et Kirjath-Arba, qui est Hébron, dans la montagne de Juda.
I figliuoli d’Israele adunque consacrarono Chedes in Galilea, nel monte di Neftali; e Sichem nel monte di Efraim; e Chiriat-arba, che è Hebron, nel monte di Giuda.
Então designaram a Quedes na Galiléia, na montanha de Naftali, e a Siquém, na montanha de Efraim, e a Quiriate-Arba (esta é Hebrom), na montanha de Judá.
於是, 以色列 人劃分 拿弗他利 山區 加利利 的 基低斯 、 以法蓮 山區的 示劍 和 猶大 山區的 基列‧亞巴 , 基列‧亞巴 就是 希伯崙 。
