Deep dives
Cities of Refuge and Blood Avenging
The podcast discusses the concept of cities of refuge as a means of protection for those who unintentionally cause harm, such as a manslayer. These cities ensure that individuals who accidentally killed someone can find safety from the Avenger of Blood, typically a close male relative seeking revenge. The criteria for distinguishing between murder and manslaughter is outlined by God, emphasizing the importance of motives behind the actions. Furthermore, the manslayer must remain in the city of refuge until the death of the high priest, symbolizing atonement for the wrongful death under his watch.
