Category: Joshua (Page 2 of 10)

In the context of the book of Joshua we have the nation of Israel entering into the Promised Land, conquering her enemies and taking possession of the land (even though she never fully possesses her complete inheritance).

Joshua 21 – 22 is a fascinating portion of text (go here to read the passage). The first thing that happens here is the Lord speaks to Joshua and he instructs him to go to the people of Israel and instruct them to designate six cities of refuge for people who commit accidental manslaughter (vss. 1 – 6).
