Deuteronomy 19:1-13. THE CITIES OF REFUGE.

(See for more on this subject, Numbers 35:9, &c.; Joshua 20)

(1) When the Lord thy God hath cut off the nations.--We find that the three cities of refuge on the west of Jordan were appointed by Joshua after the conquest (Joshua 20). The first three on the east of Jordan, namely, Bezer, Ramoth-Gilead, and Golan, had already been selected by Moses (Deuteronomy 4:41, &c), but Joshua assigned them to their Levitical possessors.

(3) Thou shalt prepare thee a way.--Upon this phrase Rashi remarks (from the Talmud) that "Miklot! Miklot ('Refuge! Refuge!') was written up at the parting of the ways."

Divide the coasts of thy land . . . into three parts.--So that no part of the country might be too far from any of the cities of refuge.

(5) As when a man goeth into the wood.--An obvious instance.

(6) The avenger of the blood.--Literally, the redeemer of the blood. The Hebrew, gooel stands for all the three words, "redeemer," "avenger," "kinsman." . . .

Verses 1-13. - Moses had before this enunciated the law concerning cities of refuge for manslayers, and had already pointed out the cities on the east of the Jordan that were to be set apart for this (Numbers 35:11, etc.; Deuteronomy 4:41, etc.), he here repeats the law with special reference to the appointment of such cities "in the midst of the land," on the west of the Jordan, in Canaan itself; and he supplements the instructions formerly given with directions as to the maintenance of roads to the cities of refuge, and as to the division of the land, so that there should be a city of refuge in every third of the land.
