These six cities shall be a refuge, both for the children of Israel, and for the stranger, and for the sojourner among them: that every one that killeth any person unawares may flee thither.

Verse 15 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.
