## Numbers 35:9-15 in Context (Verses 6–18 KJV)
 
 [6 ](/kjv/numbers/35/6) And among the cities which ye shall give unto the Levites *there shall be* six cities for refuge, which ye shall appoint for the manslayer, that he may flee thither: and to them ye shall add forty and two cities.*
 
 [7 ](/kjv/numbers/35/7) *So* all the cities which ye shall give to the Levites *shall be* forty and eight cities: them *shall ye give* with their suburbs.
 
 [8 ](/kjv/numbers/35/8) And the cities which ye shall give *shall be* of the possession of the children of Israel: from *them that have* many ye shall give many; but from *them that have* few ye shall give few: every one shall give of his cities unto the Levites according to his inheritance which he inheriteth.*
 
 [9 ](/kjv/numbers/35/9) ¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
 
 [10 ](/kjv/numbers/35/10) Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come over Jordan into the land of Canaan;
 
 [11 ](/kjv/numbers/35/11) Then ye shall appoint you cities to be cities of refuge for you; that the slayer may flee thither, which killeth any person at unawares.*
 
 [12 ](/kjv/numbers/35/12) And they shall be unto you cities for refuge from the avenger; that the manslayer die not, until he stand before the congregation in judgment.
 
 [13 ](/kjv/numbers/35/13) And of these cities which ye shall give six cities shall ye have for refuge.
 
 [14 ](/kjv/numbers/35/14) Ye shall give three cities on this side Jordan, and three cities shall ye give in the land of Canaan, *which* shall be cities of refuge.
 
 [15 ](/kjv/numbers/35/15) These six cities shall be a refuge, *both* for the children of Israel, and for the stranger, and for the sojourner among them: that every one that killeth any person unawares may flee thither.
 
 [16 ](/kjv/numbers/35/16) And if he smite him with an instrument of iron, so that he die, he *is* a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
 
 [17 ](/kjv/numbers/35/17) And if he smite him with throwing a stone, wherewith he may die, and he die, he *is* a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.*
 
 [18 ](/kjv/numbers/35/18) Or *if* he smite him with an hand weapon of wood, wherewith he may die, and he die, he *is* a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
