Deuteronomy 19:8

Cities of Refuge

7This is why I am commanding you to set apart for yourselves three cities.8And if the LORD your God enlarges your territory, as He swore to your fathers, and gives you all the land He promised them,9and if you carefully keep all these commandments I am giving you today, loving the LORD your God and walking in His ways at all times, then you are to add three more cities to these three.
