Bíblia Livre (BL)Português
Estas foram as cidades assinaladas para todos os filhos de Israel, e para o estrangeiro que morasse entre eles, para que se acolhesse a elas qualquer um que ferisse pessoa por acidente, e não morresse por meio do vingador do morto, até que comparecesse diante do ajuntamento.
Nova Versão (NVA)Português
Essas foram as cidades designadas para todo o povo de Israel e para os forasteiros que habitam entre eles, para que aquele que matar alguém, sem intenção, possa fugir até elas, buscando segurança.
