Six cities for refuge

The cities which you are to give shall be your six cities of refuge.

Then Moses set apart three cities across the Jordan to the east,

“Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘Designate the cities of refuge, of which I spoke to you through Moses,

So the sons of Israel gave the Levites from their inheritance these cities with their pasture lands, according to the command of the Lord.

The Lord also will be a stronghold for the oppressed,

A stronghold in times of trouble;

On God my salvation and my glory rest;
The rock of my strength, my refuge is in God.

Look to the right and see;
For there is no one who regards me;

There is no escape for me;

No one cares for my soul.

There will be a shelter to give shade from the heat by day, and refuge and protection from the storm and the rain.

“Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest.

so that by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have taken refuge would have strong encouragement to take hold of the hope set before us.
