King James Version (KJV)
“In our prayers we talk to God, in our Bible study God talks to us, and we had better let God do most of the talking.”
— D.L. Moody
Scripture focus
These were the cities appointed for all the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them, that whosoever killeth [any] person at unawares might flee thither, and not die by the hand of the avenger of blood, until he stood before the congregation.
Joshua 20:9 — KJV
Bezer. This name is derived from the verb basar, “to restrain,” “to enclose,” hence, “to fortify.” The noun indicates “a fortified place,” that is, “a fortress.” The location of Bezer is not definitely known. Some have identified it with the modern Umm el-‘Amad, northwest of Medebah.
Ramoth. From ra’am, “to be high or exalted.” Ra’moth is the plural noun, meaning “heights,” figuratively meaning “sublime or unattainable things.” For the probable location see on ch. 13:26 (Ramoth-mizpeh).
Golan, from golan, “circuit.” Its location thought to be somewhat east of the Sea of Chinnereth (Galilee); possibly Sahen el-Jolan.

For the stranger. God made provision for the stranger to share in the spiritual benefits of Israel. When the Israelites came out of Egypt a mixed multitude was permitted to accompany them. When the Gibeonites sought peace Israel made peace with them. When Rahab expressed her faith God accepted her. Thus it has been all through the ages. God is no respecter of persons. All who come to Him He will in no wise cast out (John 6:37). There is a gate that stands ajar, open for all who will come in humility and penitence.
