It is most commonly known as a city of refuge and a Levitical city in the territory of Naphtali. The name itself implies a sense of sanctity or consecration.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, cities of refuge were designated places where individuals who had accidentally committed manslaughter could seek asylum from avengers until a fair trial could be conducted. Kadesh in Naphtali served this purpose, highlighting its role in the justice system of ancient Israel. Additionally, Kadesh is historically significant as a site of various biblical events, including the encampment of the Israelites during their wilderness wanderings.<div class="vheading2">NAS
