The Concise Bible Dictionary talks about the cities of refuge, "It has been calculated that the distance of these from city to city would be about 70 miles, so that no one would in any part be farther than about 35 miles from one of them." How tender and gracious of our God to make a nearby refuge! He threw open the gates for His people Israel when He said, “Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do” (
Luke 23:34
34
Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots. (Luke 23:34)
). Peter held the gate open in the early part of the Acts. “And now, brethren, I wot that through ignorance ye did it, as did also your rulers” (
Acts 3:17
17
And now, brethren, I wot that through ignorance ye did it, as did also your rulers. (Acts 3:17)
).
