Orders having been given before for the dividing of the land of Canaan among the lay-tribes (as I may call them), care is here taken for a competent provision for the clergy, the tribe of Levi, which ministered in holy things.
I. Forty-eight cities were to be assigned them, with their suburbs, some in every tribe (v. 1-8).
II. Six cities out of these were to be for cities of refuge, for any man that killed another unawares (v. 9-15). In the law concerning these observe,
1. In what case sanctuary was not allowed, namely, that of wilful murder (v. 16-21).
2. In what cases it was allowed (v. 22-24).
3. What was the law concerning those that took shelter in these cities of refuge (v. 25, etc.).
