Context Readings

Cities Of Refuge

23 Or if you drop a big stone, and someone is killed. However, you did not know the person was there, he was not your enemy, and you were not trying to harm him. 24 then the congregation shall judge between the slayer and the blood avenger according to these ordinances. 25 If you are innocent, the community must protect you from that relative. They must take you back to the city of refuge you fled to. You must live there until the death of the chief priest who was anointed with the holy oil.
