Joshua 20 Cities of Refuge God’s Justice and Mercy in Action Pastor Chidi Okorie Episode 1324 - SendMe Radio

In Joshua 20, God instructs Joshua to appoint six cities of refuge—special places where someone who accidentally kills another person can flee for safety. These cities serve as sanctuaries, protecting the person from revenge until a fair trial can be held. The cities were: •Kedesh in Galilee •Shechem in Ephraim •Hebron in Judah •Bezer, Ramoth, and Golan on the east side of the Jordan River These were strategically placed so that anyone in Israel could reach one quickly. The chapter highlights God’s justice and mercy: it shows that even in cases of serious wrongdoing, there must be fairness and protection from vengeance. The cities of refuge were a way to uphold due process and community accountability in ancient Israel.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sendme-radio--732966/support.“Thank you for listening to SendMe Radio — where we share the Gospel, inspire faith, and keep you connected with powerful stories and updates from around the world.
