And out of the tribe of Naphtali, Kedesh in Galilee with her suburbs, to be a city of refuge for the slayer; and Hammothdor with her suburbs, and Kartan with her suburbs; three cities.
Del territorio de la tribu de Neftalí, les dieron tres ciudades: Cedes en Galilea con sus pastizales circundantes (que servía como ciudad de refugio para alguien que matara accidentalmente a otra persona), Hamot-dor con sus pastizales, y Cartán con sus pastizales.
La tribu de Neftalí entregó tres ciudades con pastizales a los levitas, incluyendo Cedes como ciudad de refugio.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the Book of Joshua, after the Israelites had conquered and divided the Promised Land among the twelve tribes, specific cities were allocated to the Levites, who served as priests and did not receive their own tribal inheritance. Among these assignments, cities of refuge like Kedesh in Galilee from the tribe of Naphtali were designated to provide a safe place for individuals who accidentally caused someone's death, shielding them from immediate revenge by family members until a proper trial could occur. This system was based on earlier instructions in the Mosaic Law, emphasizing God's design for orderly justice in a society prone to clan-based retribution.
