What is the purpose of the Cities of Refuge?
And in addition to them you shall give forty-two cities. All the cities which you give to the Levites shall be forty-eight with their pasture lands. And as for the cities which you shall give from the possession of the sons of Israel, from the larger tribes you shall take many, and from the smaller tribes you shall take few, each in proportion to the inheritance which it inherits, shall give of its cities to the Levites. And the Lord said to Moses, Say to the sons of Israel, When you cross the Jordan into the land of Canaan, then you shall select cities to be cities of refuge for you, that the manslayer who kills any person without intent may flee there. The cities shall be for you a refuge from the avenger that the manslayer may not die until he stands before the congregation for judgment.
How many Cities of Refuge were designated and why?
And the cities which you give shall be your six cities of refuge. You shall give three cities beyond the Jordan and three cities in the land of Canaan to be cities of refuge. These six cities shall be for refuge for the sons of Israel and for the stranger and for the sojourner among them that anyone who kills any person without intent may flee there.
