It suggests that what follows is a continuation or consequence of prior actions or instructions. In the context of the Book of Joshua, this word connects the establishment of the cities of refuge to the preceding chapters where the Israelites are settling in the Promised Land. It underscores the unfolding of God's plan in a structured and orderly manner, reflecting His divine timing and sovereignty.<p><b>the LORD</b><br />The term "the LORD" is a translation of the Hebrew name Yahweh, the covenant name of God revealed to Moses at the burning bush (<a href="/exodus/3-14.htm">Exodus 3:14</a>). This name emphasizes God's eternal existence, faithfulness, and His personal relationship with His people. In the context of Joshua, it highlights that the instructions given are not merely human decisions but divine commands from the covenant-keeping God who leads and guides His people.<p><b>said</b><br />The word "said" indicates direct communication from God to Joshua. This divine speech act is significant as it shows that God is actively involved in the leadership and guidance of His people. It reflects the biblical theme of God speaking to His chosen leaders, providing them with wisdom and direction. This communication underscores the importance of obedience to God's word as a foundation for successful leadership and governance.<p><b>to Joshua</b><br />Joshua, whose name in Hebrew is Yehoshua, meaning "Yahweh is salvation," is the central human figure in this narrative. As Moses' successor, Joshua is tasked with leading the Israelites into the Promised Land. His role is pivotal, as he is both a military leader and a spiritual guide. The mention of Joshua here emphasizes his responsibility to implement God's commands and his role as a mediator between God and the people. It also serves as a reminder of the importance of godly leadership in fulfilling divine purposes.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/joshua/20.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 1.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">Cities of refuge.</span> The original is more definite, the cities of refuge.

Here, again, Joshua is represented as aware of the existence of the Pentateuch. It must, therefore, have existed in something like its present shape when the Book of Joshua was written. The words are partly quoted from Numbers and partly from Deuteronomy; another proof that these books were regarded as constituting one law, from the "hand of Moses," when Joshua was written. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/joshua/20-1.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">Then the LORD</span><br /><span class="heb">יְהוָ֔ה</span> <span class="translit">(Yah·weh)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - proper - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3069.htm">Strong's 3069: </a> </span><span class="str2">YHWH</span><br /><br /><span class="word">said</span><br /><span class="heb">וַיְדַבֵּ֣ר</span> <span class="translit">(way·ḏab·bêr)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Verb - Piel - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_1696.htm">Strong's 1696: </a> </span><span class="str2">To arrange, to speak, to subdue</span><br /><br /><span class="word">to</span><br /><span class="heb">אֶל־</span> <span class="translit">(’el-)</span><br /><span class="parse">Preposition<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_413.htm">Strong's 413: </a> </span><span class="str2">Near, with, among, to</span><br /><br /><span class="word">Joshua,</span><br /><span class="heb">יְהוֹשֻׁ֖עַ</span> <span class="translit">(yə·hō·wō·šu·a‘)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - proper - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3091.htm">Strong's 3091: </a> </span><span class="str2">Joshua -- 'the LORD is salvation', Moses' successor, also the name of a number of Israelites</span><br /><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/joshua/20-1.htm">Joshua 20:1 NIV</a><br /><a href="/nlt/joshua/20-1.htm">Joshua 20:1 NLT</a><br /><a href="/esv/joshua/20-1.htm">Joshua 20:1 ESV</a><br /><a href="/nasb/joshua/20-1.htm">Joshua 20:1 NASB</a><br /><a href="/kjv/joshua/20-1.htm">Joshua 20:1 KJV</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="//bibleapps.com/joshua/20-1.htm">Joshua 20:1 BibleApps.com</a><br /><a href="//bibliaparalela.com/joshua/20-1.htm">Joshua 20:1 Biblia Paralela</a><br /><a href="//holybible.com.cn/joshua/20-1.htm">Joshua 20:1 Chinese Bible</a><br /><a href="//saintebible.com/joshua/20-1.htm">Joshua 20:1 French Bible</a><br /><a href="/catholic/joshua/20-1.htm">Joshua 20:1 Catholic Bible</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/joshua/20-1.htm">OT History: Joshua 20:1 Yahweh spoke to Joshua saying (Josh.
