Twenty-Seventh Day after Pentecost:
Series: Pentecost Devotional
Christopher Harbin
Numbers 35:6
''Six of the towns you give them will be Safe Towns where a person who has accidentally killed someone can run for protection. But you will also give the Levites forty-two other towns...'' Numbers 35:6
Grace, mercy, and forgiveness are not what we look for in these instructions of the Mosaic code. We have accustomed ourselves to find harsh language, unyielding retribution, and a legal code based on anger and punishment. In the midst of that we find several passages that speak to the establishment of Safe Towns, or cities of refuge. If anything, the very existence of such towns seems to fly in the face of what we have come to expect.

It's too late.
