Commentary

Commentary on Numbers 35:6

Theological / Devotional

Six cities for refuge. Three in Canaan, and three on the east side of Jordan (see Num. 35:14; Deut. 4:43; Joshua 20:7, 8).

Flee. The cities of refuge were a sanctuary, and thus a type of Christ, who shelters the sinner who flees to Him in faith (see Ex. 21:13; Deut. 19:2-9; Ps. 46:1; 142:5; Isa. 4:6; Rom. 8:1, 33, 34; Phil. 3:9; Heb. 6:18, 19).
