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.

Verse 9 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.
