Batman: Robin, let us review the events of Joshua 20!

Robin: Yes, Batman, let's dive in!

Batman: The LORD commanded Joshua to appoint cities of refuge throughout the land of Israel, so that innocent people could flee to them from the avenger of blood.

Robin: Oooh, so that innocent people would be free from any danger!

Batman: Precisely, Robin! The cities of refuge were located on the east side of the Jordan River.

Robin: So they could be easily accessible to those in need!

Batman: Yes, and the LORD added that if anyone killed another person unintentionally, they could flee to one of these cities and be safe.

Robin: Wow, that's a great way to protect innocent people!

Batman: Indeed, Robin! The LORD also instructed the Israelites to appoint Levitical priests to act as judges in these cities, to hear the cases of those who had to flee there.

Robin: The LORD sure thought of everything!

Batman: Indeed he did, Robin! And with that, our summary of Joshua 20 is complete!
