ગુજરાતીયહોશુઆ ૨૦:૩
કેમ કે કોઈ માણસ કે જેણે અજાણતા કોઈ વ્યક્તિને મારી નાખ્યો હોય તે આશ્રયનગરમાં નાસી જઈ શકે. આ નગરો કોઈ એક જે મારી નંખાયેલા વ્યક્તિના ખૂનનો બદલો લેવા તેને શોધનારથી રક્ષણ અને આશ્રયને માટે થશે.
हिन्दीयहोशू २०:३
जिससे जो कोई भूल से बिना जाने किसी को मार डाले, वह उनमें से किसी में भाग जाए; इसलिए वे नगर खून के पलटा लेनेवाले से बचने के लिये तुम्हारे शरणस्थान ठहरें।

In context

1The LORD spoke to Joshua, saying,

2“Speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘Assign the cities of refuge, of which I spoke to you by Moses,

3that the man slayer who kills any person accidentally or unintentionally may flee there. They shall be to you for a refuge from the avenger of blood.

4He shall flee to one of those cities, and shall stand at the entrance of the gate of the city, and declare his case in the ears of the elders of that city. They shall take him into the city with them, and give him a place, that he may live among them.

5If the avenger of blood pursues him, then they shall not deliver up the man slayer into his hand; because he struck his neighbor unintentionally, and didn’t hate him before.
