Speak to the children of Israel, saying, Appoint out for you cities of refuge, whereof I spake unto you by the hand of Moses:
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 2 is found in chapter 20 of Joshua. God commands the establishment of cities of refuge to protect the person who kills unintentionally from the avenger of blood. The institution carefully distinguishes intentional murder from accidental death. The accused can flee to a designated city and present the case before its elders. This legislation combines justice and mercy: it seeks to protect life without denying the need to investigate the circumstances of the death judicially.
Meditate on this verse and share your reflection or spiritual experience with the community. Your comments will enrich everyone's learning.
