Jos 20:4

Jos 20:6

Jos 20:7

Jos 20:9

Jos 20:9These have been cities of meeting for all the sons of Israel, and for a sojourner who is sojourning in their midst, for the fleeing thither of any one smiting life inadvertently, and he doth not die by the hand of the redeemer of blood till his standing before the company.
