History

Historical background

Cities of refuge are appointed

The LORD tells Joshua to appoint the cities of refuge promised through Moses. Six cities are designated so that a person who kills someone unintentionally may flee, receive a hearing, and remain protected until the death of the high priest.

Setting
The newly distributed land, with refuge cities on both sides of the Jordan.

Main events
The refuge law is repeated and Kedesh, Shechem, Hebron, Bezer, Ramoth-Gilead, and Golan are appointed.

Why it matters
The system protects justice and mercy by distinguishing accidental killing from murder.

This overview paraphrases the cited passage in the World English Bible.
