VERSE 7 
 - appointed.  Heb. sanctified.  Kedesh.
  Kedesh, called Cadesa, or Caidesa, by Josephus, was situated
  in Upper Galilee, twenty miles south-east from Tyre, according
  to Eusebius.  The cities of refuge were distributed through
  the land at proper distances from each other, that they might
  be convenient to every part of the land; and it is said they
  were situated on eminences, that they might be easily seen at
  a distance; the roads leading to them being broad, even, and
  always kept in good repair.  Kedesh and Hebron were at the two
  extremities of the land, the former being in Galilee, and the
  latter in Judah, both in mountainous districts, and Shechem
  was in mount Ephraim, nearly in the center.  Bezer was east of
  Jordan, in the eastern part of the plain opposite Jericho;
  Ramoth was about the midst of the country of the two tribes
  and a half, being about the middle of the mountains of Gilead;
  and Golan, the capital of Gaulonitis, was situated in the
  tribe of Manasseh, in the land of Bashan.  As this institution
  is considered as a type of Christ, some expositors observe a
  significancy in the names of these cities with application to
  Him as Our Refuge.  Kedesh signifies holy, and our refuge is
  the holy Jesus.  Shechem, a shoulder, "and the government is
  upon his shoulder."  Hebron, fellowship, and believers are
  called into the fellowship of Christ Jesus our Lord.  Bezer, a
  fortification, for he is a strong hold to all them that trust
  in him.  Ramoth, high, or exalted, for him hath God exalted
  with his own right hand.  Golan, joy, or exultation, for in
  him all the saints are justified, and shall glory.
