10 Speak unto the Bnei Yisroel, and say unto them, When ye be come over the Yarden into Eretz Kena'an,
11 Then ye shall appoint you arim to be arei miklat (cities of refuge) for you; that the rotze'ach may flee to there, which killeth any nefesh bishegagah (unintentionally, accidently).
12 And they shall be unto you arei miklat (cities of refuge) from the Go'el; that the rotze'ach die not, until he stand before the Edah in mishpat.
13 And of these arim which ye shall give there shall be shesh arei miklat.
14 Ye shall give shlosh he'arim on this side of the Yarden, and shlosh he'arim shall ye give in Eretz Kena'an, which shall be arei miklat.
15 These shesh he'arim shall be for miklat (refuge), both for the Bnei Yisroel, and for the ger, and for the toshav (sojourner) among them; that every one that killeth any nefesh bishegagah (unintentionally, accidently) may flee there.
16 And if he strike him with keli barzel, so that he die, he is a rotze'ach; the rotze'ach shall surely be put to death.
