VIII. MAIN BODY:
This is SM (Secret Message) because of the signature of Aleph-Tav (Alpha-Omega) after the word "give".
A. The LORD JESUS gave 6 cities
"You shall give three cities on this [east] side of the Jordan and three cities in the land of Canaan,"
Jordan signifies
a. Jordan valley - a place of convenience and sin
Genesis 13:10-11
And Lot looked and saw that everywhere the Jordan Valley was well watered. Before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, [it was all] like the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt, as you go to Zoar.
Then Lot chose for himself all the Jordan Valley and [he] traveled east. So they separated.
b. transition in a believer's life
Genesis 32:10
I am not worthy of the least of all the mercy and loving-kindness and all the faithfulness which You have shown to Your servant, for with [only] my staff I passed over this Jordan [long ago], and now I have become two companies.
Example: Joshua transitions from an assistant of Moses to the leader of the Israelites
Joshua 3:1
JOSHUA ROSE early in the morning and they removed from Shittim and came to the Jordan, he and all the Israelites, and lodged there before passing over.
c. transition of worship
Deuteronomy 27:2-4
And on the day when you pass over the Jordan to the land which the Lord your God gives you, you shall set up great stones and cover them with plaster.
And you shall write on them all the words of this law when you have passed over, that you may go into the land which the Lord your God is giving you, a land flowing with milk and honey, as the Lord, the God of your fathers, has promised you.
And when you have gone over the Jordan, you shall set up these stones, as I command you this day, on Mount Ebal, and coat them with plaster.
d. something to be possessed
Deuteronomy 32:47
For it is not an empty and worthless trifle for you; it is your [very] life. By it you shall live long in the land which you are going over the Jordan to possess.
Deuteronomy 4:26
I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day that you shall soon utterly perish from the land which you are going over the Jordan to possess. You will not live long upon it but will be utterly destroyed.
e. inheritance are distributed
Joshua 13:32
These are the inheritances which Moses distributed in the plains of Moab beyond the Jordan east of Jericho.
Joshua 18:7
But the Levites have no portion among you, for the priesthood of the Lord is their inheritance. Gad and Reuben and half the tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance east of the Jordan, which Moses the servant of the Lord gave them.
f. a place of great responsibility
Joshua 20:8
Beyond the Jordan east of Jericho they appointed Bezer in the wilderness tableland from the tribe of Reuben, and Ramoth in Gilead from the tribe of Gad, and Golan in Bashan from the tribe of Manasseh.
g. a passover
2 Samuel 10:17
When David was told, he gathered all Israel, crossed the Jordan, and came to Helam. Then the Syrians set themselves in array against David and fought with him.
2 Samuel 17:22
David arose and all the people with him and passed over the Jordan. By daybreak, not one was left who had not crossed.
Canaan - signifies humiliated, merchant or traffic based on Hebrew word "kenaan"
The LORD JESUS wants our transitions and passover's in life to be surrendered to Him. Also the LORD JESUS wants all our traffic, humiliation surrendered to Him.
1 Peter 5:7
Casting the whole of your care [all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully.

2. mere encampment or post
3. city, court or town

2. asylum - a place of protection
3. receptacle - a place or vessel into which something is received or in which it is contained, as a vat, a tun, a hollow in the earth
4. refuge - shelter or protection from danger or distress
Deuteronomy 4:41-43
Then Moses set apart three cities [of refuge] beyond the Jordan to the east,
That the manslayer might flee there, who slew his neighbor unintentionally and had not previously been at enmity with him, that fleeing to one of these cities he might save his life:
Bezer in the wilderness on the tableland, for the Reubenites; and Ramoth in Gilead, for the Gadites; and Golan in Bashan, for the Manassites.
Deuteronomy 19:8-10
And if the Lord your God enlarges your territory, as He has sworn to your fathers to do, and gives you all the land which He promised to your fathers to give,
If you keep all these commandments to do them, which I command you this day, to love the Lord your God and to walk always in His ways, then you shall add three other cities to these three,
Lest innocent blood be shed in your land, which the Lord your God gives you as an inheritance, and so blood guilt be upon you.
Jeremiah 20:7-9
[But Jeremiah said] O Lord, You have persuaded and deceived me, and I was persuaded and deceived; You are stronger than I am and You have prevailed. I am a laughingstock all the day; everyone mocks me.
For whenever I speak, I must cry out and complain; I shout, Violence and destruction! For the word of the Lord has become to me a reproach and a derision and has brought me insult all day long.
If I say, I will not make mention of [the Lord] or speak any more in His name, in my mind and heart it is as if there were a burning fire shut up in my bones. And I am weary of enduring and holding it in; I cannot [contain it any longer].
IX. CONCLUSION:
Praise, worship and thank You very much LORD JESUS for I surrender and cast all my burdens, concerns and cares to You.
