I AM is Salvation (Joshua) 20

1 I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) also spoke to I AM is Salvation (Joshua), saying:

2 Speak to the children of God Prevails (Israel), saying: Appoint out of your territories cities of refuge, whereof I spoke to you by the hand of Drawn (Moses):

3 That the slayer that kills any person unawares and unwittingly may flee there: and they shall be your refuge from the avenger of blood.

4 When he that flees to one of those cities shall stand at the entrance of the gate of the city and shall declare his cause in the ears of the elders of that city, they shall take him into the city to them, and give him a place, that he may dwell among them.

5 If the avenger of blood pursues after him, then they shall not deliver the slayer up into his hand; because he killed his neighbor unwittingly, and not out of hatred.

6 He shall dwell in that city until he stands before the congregation for judgment, and until the death of the high priest that shall be in those days: then the slayer may return to his own city, to his own house, to the city from which he fled.

7 So they appointed Holy Place (Kedesh) in Galilee in Mount Wrestling (Naphtali), and Shoulder (Shechem) in Mount Double Ash-Heap: Doubly Fruitful (Ephraim), and City of the Four (Kirjatharba), which is Association (Hebron), in the mountain of Praised (Judah).

8 On the other side The Descender (Jordan) by Its Moon (Jericho) eastward, they assigned Gold Ore (Bezer) in the wilderness upon the plain out of the tribe of Behold a Son (Reuben), and Heights (Ramoth) in Rocky Region (Gilead) out of the tribe of Troop (Gad), and Their Captivity: Their Rejoicing (Golan) in Fruitful (Bashan) out of the tribe of Causing to Forget (Manasseh).

9 These were the cities appointed for all the children of God Prevails (Israel), and for the stranger that sojourns among them, that whosoever kills any person unintentionally might flee there, and not die by the hand of the avenger of blood, until he stands before the congregation.
