Joshua 20

Observation:

• Read Joshua 20 and mark the following words: Lord, Joshua, cities of refuge, avenger of blood, the manslayer
• Look at the map below. Locate the cities of refuge and color or mark them
• In your journal list what you learn from marking the avenger of blood and the man slayer (you will have two different lists here).

Interpretation:
Read the following passages and write down what insight they give you into what murder does and how God wants it dealt with:

• Deuteronomy 19:1-13
• Numbers 35:9-34

Answer the following questions in your journal:

• Were these cities just for the Israelites?
• Can you see the importance of these cities of refuge and the significance of their location?
• Have you seen anything that would help you better understand the importance of dealing with murderers?

Application:
How can you apply what you learned this week?
