“If the next-of-kin pursues him, they are not to hand over the killer to him; because he struck his fellow community member unknowingly and had not hated him previously.”
Joshua 20:5 CJB
These cities of refuge were set up for those who accidentally or unwittingly killed someone! It was a place for one to flee to until the situation could be sorted out! These weren’t places to go for people who knowingly broke laws to go to! We as believers always have a refuge to go to in Adonai!
“God is our refuge and strength, an ever-lasting help in trouble.”
Psalm 46:1 CJB
We all can have issues in life! Where and who do we run to? It should be Adonai!
“Adonai-Tzva’ot (LORD of hosts) is with us, our fortress, the God of Ya`akov.”
Psalm 46:11 CJB
There are so many places we can go and options we can try, but Adonai will always be the perfect place of refuge!
Have a blessed day!
Shabbat Shalom!
