Choose six cities, three east of the Jordan and three in the land of Canaan. These will serve as cities of refuge for Israelites and for foreigners who are temporary or permanent residents. Anyone who kills someone accidentally can escape to one of them.
Num 35:13-15
The Lord commanded Moses and the Israelites to choose six cities of refuge. Here those who have committed manslaughter and murder may flee for temporary refuge from avengers until trials.
