Deuteronomy 19:1-3 Refuge

 1When the LORD your God has cut off the nations whose land He is giving you, and when you have driven them out and settled in their cities and houses, 2then you are to set apart for yourselves three cities within the land that the LORD your God is giving you to possess. 3You are to build roads for yourselvesa and divide into three regions the land that the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance, so that any manslayer can flee to these cities.


“There are two other important passages dealing with the cities of refuge: Numbers 35:9-28 and Joshua 20:7-8; a full understanding of the purpose and practice of the cities of refuge must be based on all of these passages.”

“Moses had already established Bezer, Ramoth, and Golan as the cities of refuge on the east side of the Jordan River (Deuteronomy 4:41-43); this command is to establish three more cities of refuge on the west side of the Jordan.” (Guzik)


“The Jews inform us that the roads to the cities of refuge were made very broad, thirty-two cubits; and even, so that there should be no impediments in the way; and were constantly kept in good repair.” (Clarke)


Psalm 62: 7  On God rests my salvation and my glory;

my mighty rock, my refuge is God.

 Trust in him at all times, O people;

pour out your heart before him;

God is a refuge for us. Selah


Is Jesus your refuge?

Feeling unloved and not wanted? Jesus is waiting for you to open the door ðŸšª and let Him in.

Blessings
