Cities of Refuge - Numbers Chapter 35 Poem

More about Cities of Refuge - Numbers Chapter 35 Poem

A place of refuge, a city fair,
Where one could flee, from anywhere,
A sanctuary for the accused,
A shelter offered, a life excused.
God's law provided, in Numbers clear,
Cities of refuge, for all to hear,
For those who caused unintentional harm,
A place of safety, a shelter warm.
Six cities chosen, spread afar,
To offer solace, from avenging spar,
Where justice met compassion's grace,
A haven found, in a foreign place.
In Numbers Thirty-Five, a merciful tale,
Of cities set apart, where one could prevail,
A reminder of God's compassion wide,
For those in need, with arms open wide.
So let us remember, in times of strife,
The call to mercy, in this mortal life,
To offer refuge, a shelter true,
In God's abiding love, ever anew.
