These were the towns marked out for all the children of Israel and for the man from a strange country living among them, so that anyone causing the death of another in error, might go in flight there, and not be put to death by him who has the right of punishment for blood till he had come before the meeting of the people.

Αυται ησαν αι πολεις αι διορισθεισαι δια παντας τους υιους Ισραηλ και δια τους ξενους τους παροικουντας μεταξυ αυτων, ωστε πας ο φονευσας τινα εξ αγνοιας να φευγη εκει, και να μη θανατωθη εκ της χειρος του εκδικητου του αιματος, εωσου παρασταθη ενωπιον της συναγωγης.

These were the cities appointed for all the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them, that whosoever killeth any person at unawares might flee thither, and not die by the hand of the avenger of blood, until he stood before the congregation.
