These chapters were a mercifully quick read. Again, more details about who gets what towns, and what e boundaries are. Why are people still reading these books? Assuming it’s true, it hasn’t been relevant for thousands of years. Not only are the borders now meaningless, but in Israel today, there are no safe cities.

Apologists may say that now we have laws, and don’t need the safe towns. But why not just have laws back then? What’s changed?

Next: Joshua 22-24.
