Then ye shall appoint you cities to be cities of refuge for you; that the slayer may flee thither, which killeth any person at unawares.

Verse 11 is found in chapter 35 of Numbers. Cities of refuge are established to temporarily protect anyone who causes an unintentional death. The mechanism prevents the avenger of blood from immediately executing the responsible person before a proper trial. The text distinguishes between deliberate murder and accidental death, introducing a dimension of procedural justice into the community’s system of protection.

sollt ihr Städte auswählen, daß sie Freistädte seien, wohin fliehe, wer einen Totschlag unversehens tut.
Os señalaréis ciudades, ciudades de acogimiento tendréis, donde huya el homicida que hiriere a alguno de muerte por yerro.
vous vous établirez des villes qui soient pour vous des villes de refuge, où pourra s'enfuir le meurtrier qui aura tué quelqu'un involontairement.
assegnate fra voi delle città di rifugio, nelle quali l’ucciditore, che avrà percossa a morte alcuna persona disavvedutamente, si rifugga.
Fazei com que vos estejam à mão cidades que vos sirvam de cidades de refúgio, para que ali se acolha o homicida que ferir a alguma alma por engano.
要指定幾座城,作為你們的逃城,使誤殺人的可以逃到那裏。
