NUMBERS CHAPTER 35
Eight and forty cities given to the Levites, together with their suburbs; among which six cities of refuge, for an Israelite or stranger who had killed another unawares, Num_35:1-15. Wilful murder decided, and the murderer to be put to death, Num_35:16-21. The man-slayer must abide in the city of refuge till the death of the high priest; and if caught out of it, might be killed, Num_35:25-29. Two witnesses required to condemn a man to die, Num_35:30. No satisfaction to be taken for the life of a murderer, Num_35:31, nor that any one might return from a city of refuge before the time, Num_35:32; that the land be not defiled and polluted, and not cleansed of the blood shed in it, Num_35:33,34.
