Joshua 20:5 in Context — Joshua 20
3 Para que se acolha ali o homicida que matar a alguém por acidente e não de propósito; que vos sejam por refúgio do vingador do morto.
4 E o que se refugiar a alguma daquelas cidades se apresentará à porta da cidade, e dirá suas causas, ouvindo-o os anciãos daquela cidade: e eles o receberão consigo dentro da cidade, e lhe darão lugar que habite com eles.
5 E quando o vingador do morto o seguir, não entregarão em sua mão ao homicida, porquanto feriu a seu próximo por acidente, nem teve com ele antes inimizade.
6 E ficará naquela cidade até que compareça em juízo diante do ajuntamento, até a morte do grande sacerdote que for naquele tempo: então o homicida voltará e virá à sua cidade e à sua casa e à cidade de onde fugiu.
7 Então assinalaram a Quedes na Galileia, no monte de Naftali, e a Siquém no monte de Efraim, e a Quiriate-Arba, que é Hebrom, no monte de Judá.
