18:5For Jehovah your God has chosen him and his sons out of all your tribes to stand and minister in Jehovah's name always. Compare

19:3You shall survey the distances for yourself and divide into three parts the territory of your land, which Jehovah your God will give you as an inheritance, so that every manslayer may flee there. Compare
19:4And this shall be the case of the manslayer who flees there and lives: He who slays his neighbor without intent and did not hate him previously - Compare
19:5As when a man goes with his neighbor into the forest to cut wood, and his hand goes to cut the tree with an axe, and the iron axehead slips off the handle and hits his neighbor so that he dies-he shall flee to one of these cities and live; Compare
19:6Lest the avenger of blood pursue the manslayer, while his heart rages, and he overtake him because the distance is long and slay him; though he is not worthy of death, for he did not hate him previously. Compare
