These were the appointed cities for all the children of Israel, and for the alien who lives among them, that whoever kills any person unintentionally might flee there, and not die by the hand of the avenger of blood, until he stands trial before the congregation.

ગુજરાતીયહોશુઆ ૨૦:૯
એ નગરો સર્વ ઇઝરાયલના લોકોને સારું અને તેઓ મધ્યે પ્રવાસ કરનારા પરદેશીને સારું ઠરાવેલા હતા કે, જે કોઈ જાણતા અજાણતાં કોઈ વ્યક્તિનું ખૂન કરે, જ્યાં સુધી તે ખૂનનો બદલો લેનારના હાથથી તે માર્યો જાય નહિ, ત્યાં સુધી નાસી જઈને સભા આગળ ઉપસ્થિત થાય.
हिन्दीयहोशू २०:९
सारे इस्राएलियों के लिये, और उनके बीच रहनेवाले परदेशियों के लिये भी, जो नगर इस मनसा से ठहराए गए कि जो कोई किसी प्राणी को भूल से मार डाले वह उनमें से किसी में भाग जाए, और जब तक न्याय के लिये मण्डली के सामने खड़ा न हो, तब तक खून का पलटा लेनेवाला उसे मार डालने न पाए, वे यह ही हैं।

8Beyond the Jordan at Jericho eastward, they assigned Bezer in the wilderness in the plain out of the tribe of Reuben, Ramoth in Gilead out of the tribe of Gad, and Golan in Bashan out of the tribe of Manasseh.

9These were the appointed cities for all the children of Israel, and for the alien who lives among them, that whoever kills any person unintentionally might flee there, and not die by the hand of the avenger of blood, until he stands trial before the congregation.
