In context
10 Say to the children of Israel, when you have gone over Jordan into the land of Canaan;
11 Then let certain towns be marked out as safe places to which anyone who takes the life of another in error may go in flight.
12 In these towns you may be safe from him who has the right of punishment; so that death may not overtake the taker of life till he has been judged by the meeting of the people.
13 Six of the towns which you give will be such safe places;
14 Three on the other side of Jordan and three in the land of Canaan, to be safe places for flight.
15 For the children of Israel and for the man from another country who is living among them, these six towns are to be safe places, where anyone causing the death of another through error may go in flight.
16 But if a man gives another man a blow with an iron instrument, causing his death, he is a taker of life and is certainly to be put to death.
