209 | Joshua ch.20 - Cities of Refuge
Published 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Description
This chapter allots six cities of refuge: 3 in Transjordan and 3 in Eretz Canaan.
The cities are designated for "accidental murderers", to gain protection from the "Blood Avenger" and to stand trial in a fair legal hearing.
But is the "Blood Avenger" a Jewish idea? Doesn't this vigilante system seem somewhat primitive?
Music: Ehud Banai
