Jahve reče Jošui: “Kaži sinovima Izraelovim i reci im: 'Odredite sebi gradove-utočišta za koje sam vam govorio preko Mojsija, da bi onamo mogao pobjeći ubojica koji nehotice ubije koga i da vam budu utočišta od krvnoga osvetnika. Ako ubojica utekne u koji od tih gradova, neka stane pred gradska vrata i neka starješinama toga grada iznese svoju stvar. Oni neka ga prime u svoj grad i odrede mu mjesto gdje će prebivati među njima. Ako ga krvni osvetnik progoni, ne smiju izručiti ubojicu u njegove ruke: tÓa nehotice je ubio svoga bližnjega, a ne iz mržnje. Ubojica neka ostane u tom gradu sve dok ne stupi pred sud zajednice ili do smrti velikoga svećenika koji bude u ono vrijeme. Tada neka se ubojica vrati i neka ode u svoj grad i svome domu - u grad iz kojega je utekao.'” I posvete Kedeš u Galileji, u Naftalijevoj gori; Šekem u Efrajimovoj gori; Kirjat-Arbu, to jest Hebron, u Judinoj gori. S druge strane Jordana, istočno od Jerihona, odrede Beser u pustinji, u ravnici plemena Rubenova, i Ramot u Gileadu od plemena Gadova, i Golan u Bašanu od plemena Manašeova. To su bili gradovi određeni svim Izraelcima i došljacima koji borave među njima: ovamo je mogao uteći svaki koji nehotice drugoga ubije, a da sam ne pogine od osvetničke ruke dok ne izađe na sud, pred zajednicu.
