You shall give three cities beyond the Jordan, and three cities in the land of Canaan, to be cities of refuge. These six cities shall be for refuge for the people of Israel, and for the stranger and for the sojourner among them, that anyone who kills any person without intent may flee there
(Numbers 35:14-15 ESVST)

God desires mercy more than sacrifice. God desires restoration, not retribution.
People are people. We act like people and often do things we regret. We need to demonstrate patience, not tolerance towards all.

Tolerance is the acceptance of what is wrong as normal, whereas patience is the acceptance of humans as normal. All people are sinful, and all sin has ramifications. We know that and we need to position ourselves to be patient, while wise enough to not be tolerant.

We often see Christians who are crushed by insisting on taking on the responsibility of God to enact vengeance. God, alone, can and should punish, and we should rejoice in that, for He is a God of mercy and grace.

Punishment is never the goal, but, for some reason, it seems simpler than restoration. God will punish, but reserves such things to those who refuse to repent.
