that the manslayer that killeth any person unwittingly and unawares may flee thither: and they shall be unto you for a refuge from the avenger of blood.

So that any man who in error and without design has taken the life of another, may go in flight to them: and they will be safe places for you from him who has the right of punishment for blood.

δια να φευγη εκει ο φονευς, οστις φονευση ανθρωπον ακουσιως εξ αγνοιας· και αυται θελουσιν εισθαι εις εσας δια καταφυγιον απο του εκδικητου του αιματος.

That the slayer that killeth any person unawares and unwittingly may flee thither: and they shall be your refuge from the avenger of blood.
