Numbers 35:10 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 35:10

Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them
Now, directly:

when ye come over Jordan into the land of Canaan;
as they quickly would, being now very near it, and of which there was the utmost certainty, since the Lord had promised to bring them over that river, and put them in possession of that land.

Numbers 35:10 In-Context

8 "The towns you give the Levites must come from the land the people of Israel have as their own. So the number you give from each tribe will depend on the size of that tribe's share. Take many towns from a tribe that has many. But take only a few towns from a tribe that has only a few."

9 Then the LORD spoke to Moses. He said,

10 "Speak to the people of Israel. Tell them, 'You will soon go across the Jordan River. You will enter Canaan.

11 When you do, choose the cities to go to for safety. People who have killed someone by accident can run to one of those cities.

12 They will be places of safety for them. People will be safe there from those who want to kill them. Then those who are charged with murder will not die before their case has been brought to the community court.
