BRAGADAYJAH 665
Now after Joshua allotted the portion for the tribe of Judah to Caleb by boundaries, he then divided up the rest of the land of Canaan to the other tribes by lot and boundary. Then the Lord spoke to Joshua and told him to tell the children of Israel to appoint cities of refuge as directed by Moses, that the slayer that kills any person unawares or unwittingly may flee there as a refuge from the avenger of blood; and when any manslayer that has so killed unintentionally, and without malice, he may flee there and standing at the entrance of the city plea his cause to the elders of that city, and the elders of that city will defend him from the avenger of blood. And he shall be permitted to remain in that city until he appears before the congregation for judgment and until the death of the high priest, and after that the manslayer may return to his own city and his own house from which he came before he fled.
