Joshua 20:4
When they flee to one of these cities, they are to stand in the entrance of the city gate and state their case before the elders of that city. Then the elders are to admit the fugitive into their city and provide a place to live among them.
Shalom sdr, my devotion today, Tue, May 4, ELDERS (Jos. 20:4). The elders play great roles in the society of The Israelites. They have mang functions in the society and community.
a. Administative.
They have to take care of the administration of the society. They know the numbers of people. They know the numbers of the city. They know where the vacant place, the safe house and the protection town. So that they can place a man whom had killed accidentally in it.
b. Justice.
They have the right to protect or give the man whom had done terrible mistakes. They have the duty to know the case like this deeply.
c. Temple.
And of course, the most impoelrtant role of the elders is at the temple. They have to take care the well being of the temple. The holiness, the tidiness and the perfection of the temple. So being an elder is never easy and empty. It is an honor if a man can be an elder. ASH.
