And when he that doth flee unto one of those cities shall stand at the entering of the gate of the city, and shall declare his cause in the ears of the elders of that city, they shall take him into the city unto them, and give him a place, that he may dwell among them.
If someone runs to one of those cities and stands at its entrance, telling the city's older people about their situation, the older people will let them in and provide a place for them to live with the rest of the city's residents.
