Deuteronomy 4:41-43 Refuge

 41Then Moses set aside three cities across the Jordan to the east 42to which a manslayer could flee after killing his neighbor unintentionally without prior malice.

To save one’s own life, he could flee to one of these cities: 43Bezer in the wilderness on the plateau belonging to the Reubenites, Ramoth in Gilead belonging to the Gadites, or Golan in Bashan belonging to the Manassites.

Refuge 

“This was part of the essential preparation for entering the Promised Land. God commanded that three cities of refuge be readied on each side of the Jordan River (Numbers 35:14), and here, the three cities on the east side of the Jordan were appointed.” (Guzik)

Moses only appointed three of the six cities of refuge because the land on the west side of the Jordan hasn’t been conquered yet.  

Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble.

Christ is our refuge and salvation!

Where do you go when your on fire 🔥 and have nowhere to turn?
