Numbers 35:12-14

Amplified Bible

¹² The cities shall be to you as a refuge from the avenger, so that the one who has caused the death of another will not be killed until he has had a [fair] trial before the congregation. ¹³ The cities which you are to provide shall be your six cities of refuge. ¹⁴ You shall provide three cities on this [east] side of the Jordan [River], and three [more] cities in the land of Canaan; they are to be the cities of refuge.
