“Joshua 20:1-9 names these three cities as Kedesh, Shechem, and Hebron.” ESVSB
CSB Study Bible: Notes Chapter 19
19:4–5 Homicide in the OT took many forms, ranging from killing an enemy in war, executing a criminal, and accidental death by manslaughter on one hand, to deliberate and premeditated murder on the other. The first two examples were carried out by the state and were not only permitted but commanded. The present law had to do with an act of homicide whose intentions and circumstances must be determined by a court of law.
Due Process
12 ‘The cities shall be to you as a refuge from the avenger, so that the manslayer will not die until he stands before the congregation for trial.
6 ‘He shall dwell in that city until he stands before the congregation for judgment, until the death of the one who is high priest in those days. Then the manslayer shall return to his own city and to his own house, to the city from which he fled.’ ”
