And he shall flee unto one of those cities, and shall stand at the entrance of the gate of the city, and declare his cause in the ears of the elders of that city; and they shall take him into the city unto them, and give him a place, that he may dwell among them.
þat whanne he hath fled to oon of þese citees, he may ascape þe ire of þe neiybore, which is veniere of blood. And he schal stonde bifor þe yatis of þe citee, and he schal speke to þe eldre men of þat citee tho thingis þat schulen preue hym innocent; and so þei schulen reseyue hym, and schulen yyue to hym place to dwelle.
