Places of Refuge

Read Numbers 34-36

Numbers 35:13 "And of these cities which ye shall give six cities shall ye have for refuge."

Our characters will need places of refuge, just like the Israelites did. They’ll need places where they can relax and places to feel safe.

Israel’s places of refuge were for people who unwittingly committed murder. Our story places of refuge may also be for a character on the run because of a crime he committed, but they don’t have to be.

Places of refuge can be for someone who is trying to escape the chaos in her life. Depending on who the character is, refuge could be for a child running away from arguing parents, a teacher escaping a rowdy classroom, or even an apartment dweller fleeing a noisy party next door.
