IV-10 Massei Cities of Refuge
Massei gives a summary of the marches that occured during the Exodus from Egypt, listing the various places where the Israelites strayed. Forty-two places are named relating to forty-two levels of spirituality. After the mention of Aaron's death on Mt Hor, the account of travels becomes more detailed in preparation for entry into the Promised Land. The passage details the boundaries of the land, setting the traditional borders. Moses portions the lands to eleven tribes and establishes the laws of inheritance for the Daughters of Zelophehad (see Nr 27:1-11). Because the Levites do not inherit land as a tribe, they aer given six cities of refuge with pasture land assigned to them. The cities are designated as places of asylum for anyone who committed accidental manslaughter. Scripture distinguishes between accidental death, murder and self-defense.

Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge
At the southern end of Puget Sound the Nisqually River exists along with Puget Sound to form an undisturbed estuary, the home of wildlife, birds and fish in a riparian forest surround of beauty nestled beside croplands and grasslands. The refuge was established to protect the delta and wildlife residents in 1974. It is one of the largest remaining undisturbed (for the most part) Washington State estuaries.
