Exegesis
The relative asher-dibbarti {אֲשֶׁר־דִּבַּרְתִּי | ăšer-dib·bārtī} ‘which I spoke’ with aleikhem {אֲלֵיכֶם | ʾălê-ḵem} ‘to you’ forms a defining relative clause linking to earlier instruction.
In context — Joshua 20:2
Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, “Appoint for yourselves the cities of refuge which I commanded through Moses.”
