Deuteronomio 21:6 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 21:6

And all the elders of that city that are next unto the slain
man
The whole court of judicature belonging to it, all the magistracy of it; even though there were an hundred of them, Maimonides


FOOTNOTES:

F24 says:

shall wash their hands over the heifer that is beheaded in the valley:
in token of their innocence, and this they did not only for themselves, but for the whole city, being the representatives of it; see ( Psalms 26:6 ) ( Matthew 27:24 ) . Some think that this is a confirmation of the sense embraced by some, that it was a strong stream to which the heifer was brought; and there might be a stream of water here, and a valley also; though it would be no great difficulty to get from the city, which was near, a sufficient quantity of water to wash the hands of the elders with. This may denote the purification of sin by the blood of Christ, when it is confessed over him; and shows that priests and elders, ministers of the word, as well as others, stand in need of it; and that even those concerned in the death of Christ shared in the benefits of it.


F24 Hilchot Rotzeach, c. 9. sect. 3.

Deuteronomio 21:6 In-Context

4 E menino gli Anziani di quella città quella giovenca in una valle deserta, nella quale non si lavori nè semini; e taglino quivi il collo alla giovenca nella valle.
5 Vengano ancora i sacerdoti, i figliuoli di Levi; conciossiachè il Signore Iddio tuo li abbia eletti per fare il suo servigio, e per benedire nel Nome del Signore; e, secondo la lor parola, ha da esser giudicata qualunque lite, e qualunque piaga.
6 E lavinsi tutti gli Anziani di quella città, più vicini dell’ucciso, le mani sopra quella giovenca, alla quale sarà stato tagliato il collo nella valle;
7 e protestino, e dicano: Le nostre mani non hanno sparso questo sangue; gli occhi nostri eziandio non l’hanno veduto spandere.
8 O Signore, sii propizio inverso il tuo popolo Israele, il quale tu hai riscattato, e non permettere che vi sia, in mezzo del tuo popolo Israele, colpa di sangue innocente sparso. Così sarà purgato quel sangue, quant’è a loro.
