Joshua 20:2 in Context — Joshua 20

1 L’Éternel parla à Josué, et dit:

2 Parle aux enfants d’Israël, et dis: Établissez-vous, comme je vous l’ai ordonné par Moïse, des villes de refuge,

3 où pourra s’enfuir le meurtrier qui aura tué quelqu’un involontairement, sans intention; elles vous serviront de refuge contre le vengeur du sang.

4 Le meurtrier s’enfuira vers l’une de ces villes, s’arrêtera à l’entrée de la porte de la ville, et exposera son cas aux anciens de cette ville; ils le recueilleront auprès d’eux dans la ville, et lui donneront une demeure, afin qu’il habite avec eux.
