Subject: Reason 4 "6" Cities of Refuge? |
Bible Note: Shalom Angela, Yes, I know that numbers very oftem are significant in Scripture, but in this case???? As far as you question about 2 tribal areas per city, I had thought of that for a moment, but the designation was 3 on either side of the Jordan, and if I recall correctly there were only 2 tribes that did not enter the promised land proper, so that figuring wouldn't work.... Sounds like you and your "ladies" are going to have fun...Sorry, though, I can't really help you in the customs thing. I just get little snippets here and there from Talmud, Josephus, teachings, etc. I know very little about the family structure in our Master's time... I know that there are books out there that would be of interest to you, but I don't know of them. I'm sure some of the other SBFers will be able to help you there. :o) Keep us informed on your classes, or email me with updates (in my profile) - it really sounds like you're going to have fun.
