“You shall not detest an Edomite, for he is your brother; you shall not detest an Egyptian, because you were an alien in his land.

that a manslayer might flee there, who unintentionally slew his neighbor without having enmity toward him in time past; and by fleeing to one of these cities he might live:

“Now this is the case of the manslayer who may flee there and live: when he kills his friend unintentionally, not hating him previously—

otherwise the avenger of blood might pursue the manslayer in the heat of his anger, and overtake him, because the way is long, and take his life, though he was not deserving of death, since he had not hated him previously.

“If anyone comes to Me, and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be My disciple.

The world cannot hate you, but it hates Me because I testify of it, that its deeds are evil.
