Ye shall give three cities on this side Jordan, and three cities shall ye give in the land of Canaan, which shall be cities of refuge — the six refuge-cities are divided geographically: three on the east side of the Jordan (in Transjordan) and three on the west side (in Canaan proper). This distribution ensures accessibility: a manslayer in any region can reach a refuge-city without traveling excessively.
