12 I disse Byer skal I have Ret til at søge Tilflugt for Blodhævneren, for at ikke Manddraberen skal dø, før han er blevet stillet for Menighedens Domstol.
And they will become for you the cities a refuge from an avenger and not he will die the killer until stands he before the congregation for judgment.
13 Det skal være seks Byer, I skal afstå til Tilflugtsbyer;
And the cities which you will give six cities of refuge they will be for you.
14 de tre skal I afstå hinsides Jordan og de tre andre i Kana'ans Land; de skal være Tilflugtsbyer.

For [the] people of Israel and for the sojourner and for the resident alien in midst of them they will become [the] six the cities these a refuge to flee there towards any [one who] strikes down a person by inadvertence.
16 Men slår han ham ihjel med et Jernredskab, så er han en Manddraber, og Manddraberen skal lide Døden;
And if with an instrument of iron - he struck down him and he died [is] a killer he certainly he will be put to death the killer.

And they will judge the congregation between the [one who] struck and between [the] avenger of blood on the judgments these.
25 og Menigheden skal værne Manddraberen mod Blodhævneren, og Menigheden skal føre ham tilbage til hans Tilflugtsby, hvorhen han var tyet, og der skal han blive boende, indtil den med hellig Olie salvede Ypperstepræst dør.
