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.
