KJV summary for : Joshua 20
Summary: In Joshua chapter 20, God instructs Joshua to set aside cities of refuge for those who accidentally kill someone. The chapter outlines the purpose of these cities as places of safety where a person can flee to avoid the revenge of the deceased's family until the matter can be properly adjudicated by the assembly. The chapter emphasizes the importance of justice and mercy in Israelite law, underscoring the frequent biblical theme of providing protection for the vulnerable and the unintentional wrongdoer. Six cities are designated for refuge: three on the west side of the Jordan River and three on the east, affirming that God's provision extends throughout the land. This arrangement also signifies the structure of society in Israel, focusing on the need for lawful conduct and the mechanisms for dealing with inadvertent wrongdoing. Overall, the chapter conveys themes of community, responsibility, and the need for balanced justice in a society governed by God's commandments.
