righteous judgment

In the book of Numbers chapters 35-36, God instructs the Israelites to set aside certain towns as cities of refuge for those who accidentally committed manslaughter. These cities were designated as safe havens for people who unintentionally caused the death of another person and allowed them to escape revenge killings.

Chapter 35 also highlights the importance of justice and fairness within the community by emphasizing the need to punish those who commit intentional murder. The chapter outlines the roles and responsibilities of the priests, the Levites, and the leaders in ensuring that justice is served and the community is protected from those who seek to harm others.

Additionally, God commands that the Levites be given towns to live in throughout the Promised Land, ensuring that all people have access to priests and the necessary spiritual resources, no matter where they live.

Chapter 36 addresses the issue of inheritance within families, particularly for women. The daughters of Zelophehad, who had no brothers, had asked for an inheritance in their father's land, which was granted. However, concerns were raised about the possibility of these women marrying outside of their tribe and their inheritance passing to another tribe. To address this concern, God commanded that women who inherit land must marry within their tribe to ensure the land remains within the tribe.

The chapter also deals with the issue of intermarriage between different tribes, with God instructing that women who inherit property must marry within their own tribe. This is to prevent the land from being transferred from one tribe to another.

The laws concerning manslaughter and inheritance in these chapters provide important insights into justice and fairness within the community. The cities of refuge and the allocation of priests' residences throughout the land ensure that all people have access to justice and spiritual guidance, regardless of their location. These laws also highlight the value of land ownership and the preservation of inheritance within families and tribes, as well as the importance of marrying within one's tribe to maintain tribal identity and cohesion.

Moreover, while the concept of manslaughter and revenge killings may seem foreign to us today, these laws provide an important reminder of the value of protecting the innocent and ensuring justice is served.

Thanks so much for listening to the show. We'll See you tomorrow.
-Ryan and Jenny

We begin this podcast by looking at the revelation found in 1 Samuel 16:6-7 and the difference between how man sees and judges and how God sees and judges. Beware of the base and fallen inclination of man. We should not be so quick to judge, especially before the time, because what may not be apparent presently, may actually be found on the day of the Lord.  For good and for evil, the deception is real. We need to trust that when it all comes down to it, we need to wait on the Lord and trust His judgment because He alone knows the hearts of men. We also need to trust when He judges. Let's not get ahead of His judgment because appearances can be deceiving.
