DEUTERONOMY—NOTE ON Deuteronomy 4:41 Three cities of refuge are set apart in the east beyond the Jordan. A person guilty of unpremeditated murder could flee to one of these cities to escape revenge from the dead person’s family. In Deuteronomy 19:1, three cities west of the Jordan are set apart for the same purpose. Compare Numbers 35:9.
