Joshua chapter 21 deals with the distribution of the cities of refuge and levitical cities to the Levites within the inheritances of the tribes of Israel. The cities of refuge were cities designated to offer protection to those who accidentally committed homicide, while levitic cities were cities for the Levites, where they could live and serve the Lord.
Exodus 21:13: "But if he did not get ambushed and God has allowed him to fall into his hands, I will designate a place for you where He can escape." This verse talks about the idea of a safe place for someone who accidentally committed murder, which is relevant to the cities of refuge in Joshua 21.
Numbers 35:6-7: "The cities you attribute to the Levites will be six cities of refuge, where someone who kills a person can escape, besides these cities, you will give 42 other cities to the Levites." This verse talks about the attribution of cities of refuge to the Levites, which is relevant to chapter 21 of Joshua, where the cities of refuge are distributed among the tribes.
Leviticus 25:32-33: "With regard to the cities of the Levites, the permanent property of the cities they have will be forever of the Levites; they have the right to perpetual rescue for all their properties in the cities of the Levites." This verse talks about the permanent property of the cities of the Levites, which is relevant to Joshua chapter 21, where levitic cities are distributed among the tribes.
Numbers 35:12: "They will have cities to live and pasture for their flocks, along with their cities given to them." This verse talks about the law of the Levites to cities and pastures for their flocks, which is relevant to Joshua chapter 21, where levitic cities are distributed among the tribes.
Numbers 35:26-28: "But if the killer leaves the limit of the city of refuge for which he fled, and the avenger of the blood finds him outside the limit of the city of refuge and killing him, there will be no bloodshed. Killer should be in the city of refuge until the death of the high priest, which was anointed with holy oil. " This verse talks about the laws governing accidental murder and the need to remain in the city of refuge, which is relevant to Joshua chapter 21, where the cities of refuge are distributed among the tribes.
