Chap. XX.
Six cities of refuge for such as commit casual manslaughter are named, 6 in

their proper dwelling place, and be safe.

of the fugitiues, of the which I spake to you by the
hand of Moyses;

striken a soule, and might not die in the hand of the kinseman,
coueting to reuenge the bloud shed, vntil he might
stand before the people to declare his cause.
