Names that Point to Christ
Commentators observe the symbolic meaning in the names of these cities, applying them to Christ as our ultimate Refuge. Bezer means "fortification," for Jesus is our stronghold. Ramoth means "exalted," because God has exalted Him. Golan means "joy" or "exultation," because believers are justified and glory in Him. The Old Testament system of refuge consistently points to the safety found in Christ.
