The Lord's word to Joshua was instruction to provide the city of refuge under the Jewish dispensation. The way to that city was made clearly defined, so that travelers seeking it could find it without perplexity or confusion. That plainly marked road illustrates how clearly God has erected a signpost for those journeying through this world, with one arm pointing to willing obedience to the Creator as the road to felicity and life and happiness, and the other pointing to disobedience as the path to misery and death.
