約書亞記 20:9

這都是為以色列眾人和在他們中間寄居的外人所分定的城邑，使誤殺人的都可以逃到那裏，不死在報血仇人的手中，等他站在會眾面前聽審判。

zhè dōu shì wèi yǐ sè liè zhòng rén hé zài tā men zhōng jiān jì jū de wài rén suǒ fēn dìng de chéng yì ， shǐ wù shā rén de dōu kě yǐ táo dào nà lǐ ， bù sǐ zài bào xuè chóu rén de shǒu zhōng ， děng tā zhàn zài huì zhòng miàn qián tīng shěn pàn 。

These were the appointed cities for all the children of Israel, and for the alien who lives 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 trial before the congregation.
