The Law stated: “For the sons of Israel and for the alien resident and for the settler in the midst of them these six cities will serve as a refuge, for anyone to flee there that fatally strikes a soul unintentionally. ”
Seaduses öeldi: „Iisraeli lastele ning võõrale ja majalisele nende seas olgu need kuus linna pelgupaikadeks, et sinna võiks põgeneda igaüks, kes kogemata on kellegi tapnud. ”
