The document discusses the biblical cities of refuge that provided protection for accidental killers. It notes God established six cities - Kedesh, Shechem, Hebron, Bezer, Ramoth, and Golan - where someone who killed another unintentionally could flee to avoid vengeance. The high priest represented the people before God, and once the high priest died the refugee was free to return home, picturing how Christ's death provides eternal redemption and refuge.

2. CITIES OF REFUGE We might have a strong consolation, who have Fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which entereth into that within the veil; Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek . (Heb.6: 18-20) CITIES OF REFUGE (References-Ex.21:13; Num.35; Deu.4: 41-43; Deu. 19; Joshua. Ch.20; 21: 13; 21; 27; 32; 36; 38)

4. CITIES OF REFUGE WHAT THE CITIES OF REFUGE WERE ? Deu.19: 4 And this is the case of the slayer, which shall flee thither, that he may live: Whoso killeth his neighbor ignorantly, whom he hated not in time past; Deu.19: 6 Lest the avenger of the blood pursue the slayer, while his heart is hot, and overtake him, because the way is long, and slay him; whereas he was not worthy of death, inasmuch as he hated him not in time past. Were six Levitical cities anybody who killed a man accidentally could flee to find refuge (An O T shadow of how one can be relieved if fallen to sin)
