וְ⁠לֹ֤א יִשָּׁפֵךְ֙ דָּ֣ם נָקִ֔י

and=not shed blood innocent

The implication is that, if the Israelites choose certain cities for people who kill someone accidentally to flee to, then the avengers of blood will not be able to kill them. As a result, Israelites will keep innocent people from dying. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [And so you will help prevent the spilling of innocent blood by choosing cities of refuge]
