separate three cities

"Unquestionably in imitation of these cities, the heathen had their asyla, and the Roman Catholics their privileged altars: and similar traditions seem to obtain in many barbarous nations, for ""the North American Indian nations have most of them either a house or town of refuge, which is a sure asylum to protect a manslayer, or the unfortunate captive, if he once enter it. In almost every Indian nation, there are several towns, which are called old beloved, ancient, holy, or white towns, (white being their fixed emblem of peace, friendship, prosperity, happiness, purity, etc.) They seem to have been formerly towns of refuge; for it is not in the memory of the oldest people that human blood was shed in them."" Deu 4:41-43; Exd 21:13; Num 35:10-15; Jos 20:2-7; Hbr 6:18" |
