City Of Refuge - Kedesh Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Dec 1, 2022

Today’s meditation is based on Joshua 20:1-2,“Then the LORD told Joshua to say to the people of Israel, "Choose the cities of refuge that I had Moses tell you about.” (GNB) This commandment that God had given to Moses was executed only after the people of Israel took possession of the ...read more
