Deuteronomy 19 · Grade 2

Run to the Safe City

Name Date

Read the Story

God told Israel to pick three cities. They were safe cities. They must make good roads to them.

Sometimes a person hurt someone by accident. Maybe an ax head flew off. The man could run to a safe city and live. But a person who hurt someone on purpose could not hide there.

God also said, Do not move your neighbor's stone that marks his land. One person is not enough to say someone did wrong. Two or three must agree.

Memory Verse

“One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin that he sins. At the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall a matter be established.”

Deuteronomy 19:15 (WEB)
