41. Then Moses set apart three cities on the other side of the Jordan, toward the east,
42. in order for a manslayer to flee there who has killed his neighbor without intent and was not hating him previously, and so he could flee to one of these cities and be safe.
43. He set apart Bezer in the wilderness in the land of the plateau of the Reubenites; Ramoth in Gilead of the Gadites, and Golan in Bashan of the Manassites.
44. Now this is the law that Moses set before the Israelites;
45. these are the legal provisions and the rules and the regulations that Moses spoke to the Israelites when they left Egypt,
46. beyond the Jordan in the valley opposite Beth Peor in the land of Sihon the king of the Amorites, who was reigning in Heshbon and whom Moses and the Israelites defeated when they came out of Egypt.
