from the avenger of blood.
Jos
20:4 He shall flee to one of those cities, and shall stand at the
entrance of the gate of the city, and declare his cause in the ears
of the elders of that city. They shall take him into the city with
them, and give him a place, that he may live among them.
Jos
20:5 If the avenger of blood pursue after him, then they shall not
deliver up the manslayer into his hand; because he struck his
neighbor unintentionally, and didn't hate him before.
Jos
20:6 He shall dwell in that city until he stands before the
congregation for judgment, until the death of the high priest that
shall be in those days. Then the manslayer shall return, and come to
his own city, and to his own house, to the city he fled from.' "

and for the stranger who sojourns among them, that whoever kills any
person unintentionally might flee there, and not die by the hand of
the avenger of blood, until he stands before the congregation.

Joshua 20 3
that
the manslayer who kills any person unwittingly [and] unawares may
flee there: and they shall
be to you for a refuge from the avenger of blood.
that
the slayer who unwittingly without intent smiteth any one mortally
may flee thither:
and they shall be your refuge from the avenger of blood.
for
the fleeing thither of a man-slayer smiting life inadvertently,
without knowledge;
and they have been to you for a refuge from the redeemer of blood.
Joshua 20 4
He
shall flee to one of those cities, and shall stand at the entrance of
the gate of the city, and declare
his cause in the ears of the elders of that city; and they shall take
him into the city to them,
and give him a place, that he may dwell among them.
And
he shall flee unto one of those cities and stand at the entrance of
the city-gate, and shall
declare his matter in the ears of the elders of that city; and they
shall take him into the city unto them, and give him a place, that he may dwell among
them.
`When
[one] hath fled unto one of these cities, and hath stood [at] the
opening of the
gate of the city, and hath spoken in the ears of the elders of that
city his matter,
then they have gathered him into the city unto them, and have given
to him
a place, and he hath dwelt with them.
Joshua 20 5
If
the avenger of blood pursue after him, then they shall not deliver up
the manslayer into his hand;
because he struck his neighbor unawares, and didn`t hate him before.
And
if the avenger of blood pursue after him, they shall not deliver the
slayer up into his hand;
for he smote his neighbour unwittingly, and hated him not
previously.
`And
when the redeemer of blood doth pursue after him, then they do not
shut up the
man-slayer into his hand, for without knowledge he hath smitten his neighbour,
and is not hating him hitherto;
Joshua 20 6
He
shall dwell in that city, until he stand before the congregation for
judgment, until the death of
the high priest that shall be in those days: then shall the manslayer
return, and come to his own
city, and to his own house, to the city from whence he fled.
And
he shall dwell in that city, until he have stood before the assembly
in judgment, until
the death of the high-priest that shall be in those days; then shall
the slayer return, and come unto his own city, and unto his own house, unto the city
from whence he fled.
and
he hath dwelt in that city till his standing before the company for
judgment, till
the death of the chief priest who is in those days -- then doth the
man-slayer turn
back and hath come unto his city, and unto his house, unto the city
whence he
fled.`
