Números 35:20 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 35:20

But if he thrust him of hatred
Or, "and if" ^F18, since the Scripture is still speaking of such that shall die for murder, though in another instance, without having the privilege of a city of refuge; if he thrusts him with a sword or knife, or rather, since, if anything of that kind is included in the first instance of smiting with an instrument of iron, push him down from an high place, as Aben Ezra; so the men of Nazareth intended to have dispatched Christ in that way, ( Luke 4:29 )

or hurl at him by lying in wait, that he die;
as a bowing wall, as the same writer instances in, push down that upon him as he passes along, lying in wait for him; or throws anything at him, with an intention to kill him, and does; or casts down anything upon him, a large stone, or anything else, by which he dies.

18 Y si con instrumento de palo de mano, de que pueda morir, lo hiriere, y muriere, homicida es; el homicida morirá.

19 El pariente del muerto, él matará al homicida; cuando lo encontrare, él le matará.

20 Y si con odio lo empujó, o echó sobre él alguna cosa por asechanzas, y muere;

21 o por enemistad lo hirió con su mano, y murió; el heridor morirá; es homicida; el pariente del muerto matará al homicida, cuando lo encontrare.

22 Mas si casualmente lo empujó sin enemistades, o echó sobre él cualquier instrumento sin asechanzas,
