This reading describes the designation of cities of refuge
and towns given to the tribe of Levi, according to the plans previously stated.
A key feature of the Bible’s book of Joshua seems to be that of showing how the
Lord’s promises through Moses came to pass. For example, Joshua 21:43-45: So the Lord gave Israel all the land he had
sworn to give their forefathers, and they took possession of it and settled
there. The Lord gave them rest on every side, just as he had sworn to their
forefathers. Not one of their enemies withstood them; the Lord handed all their
enemies over to them. Not one of all the Lord’s good promises to the house of
Israel failed; every one was fulfilled.
In other words God is faithful.
But will Israel become faithful?
And will I become faithful?
