This is part of a year long reading of the Bible chronologically in a harmonized format.

Deuteronomy 19:1 - 21:23Cities of refuge protect accidental killers while murderers receive no mercy under the law. Rules address witnesses, warfare, unsolved murders, and treatment of captured women and firstborn sons.

Luke 16:18 - 17:10Jesus affirms marriage permanence and tells the rich man and Lazarus story about afterlife consequences. He warns against causing sin, stresses forgiveness, and notes servants should humbly do their duty.
