Strong's Number H4733 matches the Hebrew מִקְלָט (miqlāṭ),
which occurs 20 times in 20 verses
in the WLC Hebrew.
“The cities you give the Levites will include six cities of refuge, which you will provide so that the one who kills someone may flee there; in addition to these, give forty-two other cities.
“designate cities to serve as cities of refuge for you, so that a person who kills someone unintentionally may flee there.
“You will have the cities as a refuge from the avenger, so that the one who kills someone will not die until he stands trial before the assembly.
“Select three cities across the Jordan and three cities in the land of Canaan to be cities of refuge.
“These six cities will serve as a refuge for the Israelites and for the alien or temporary resident among them, so that anyone who kills a person unintentionally may flee there.
“The assembly is to protect the one who kills someone from the avenger of blood. Then the assembly will return him to the city of refuge he fled to, and he must live there until the death of the high priest who was anointed with the holy oil.
“If the one who kills someone ever goes outside the border of the city of refuge he fled to,
“and the avenger of blood finds him outside the border of his city of refuge and kills him, the avenger will not be guilty of bloodshed,
“for the one who killed a person was supposed to live in his city of refuge until the death of the high priest. Only after the death of the high priest may the one who has killed a person return to the land he possesses.
“Neither should you accept a ransom for the person who flees to his city of refuge, allowing him to return and live in the land before the death of the high priest.
“Tell the Israelites: Select your cities of refuge, as I instructed you through Moses,
“so that a person who kills someone unintentionally or accidentally may flee there. These will be your refuge from the avenger of blood.
