Joshua 21:33

"Out of the tribe of Naphtali, Kedesh in Galilee with its pasture lands, the city of refuge for the man slayer, Hammothdor with its pasture lands, and Kartan with its pasture lands: three cities."

Key Reflection

These three cities in Naphtali served as a sanctuary for those who accidentally caused someone's death, reflecting the broader theme of divine mercy and justice within Israelite society. They provided a physical refuge where individuals could find safety until their case was heard, symbolizing God’s provision of grace and protection through religious institutions.
