Verse 8 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.

und jenseit des Jordans, da Jericho liegt, gegen Aufgang, gaben sie Bezer in der Wüste auf der Ebene aus dem Stamm Ruben und Ramoth in Gilead aus dem Stamm Gad und Golan in Basan aus dem Stamm Manasse.
Y de la otra parte del Jordán de Jericó, al oriente, señalaron a Beser en el desierto, en la llanura de la tribu de Rubén, y a Ramoth en Galaad de la tribu de Gad, y a Gaulón en Basán de la tribu de Manasés.
Al otro lado del Jordán, al oriente de Jericó, asignaron Beser, en el desierto, en la meseta, de la tribu de Rubén; Ramot, en Galaad, de la tribu de Gad; y Golán, en Basán, de la tribu de Manasés.
Et de l'autre côté du Jourdain, à l'orient de Jéricho, ils choisirent Betser, dans le désert, dans la plaine, dans la tribu de Ruben; Ramoth, en Galaad, dans la tribu de Gad; et Golan, en Basan, dans la tribu de Manassé.
E di là dal Giordano di Gerico, verso Oriente, costituirono Beser, nel deserto, nella pianura, d’infra le terre della tribù di Ruben; e Ramot in Galaad, d’infra le terre della tribù di Gad; e Golan in Basan, d’infra le terre della tribù di Manasse.
E, além do Jordão, na direção de Jericó para o oriente, designaram a Bezer, no deserto, na campina da tribo de Rúben, e a Ramote, em Gileade da tribo de Gade, e a Golã, em Basã da tribo de Manassés.
