Josué 20:4 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 20:4

And when he that doth flee unto one of those cities
Any one of them, that was nearest to him:

shall stand at the entering of the gate of the city;
for he might not rush in without leave:

and shall declare his cause in the ears of the elders of that city;
lay before them the whole matter, how that he had killed a person unawares, by what means it came about, and that it was merely through error, without any malicious design, and was a mere accident:

they shall take him into the city unto them;
directly, lest the avenger of blood should come and seize on him, and kill him; and they were to take him into the city, not only to prevent that, but to examine him still more closely about the matter, and get further satisfaction; and being satisfied, were to continue him in it:

and give him a place, that he might dwell among them;

Josué 20:4 In-Context

2 “Diga aos israelitas que designem as cidades de refúgio, como lhes ordenei por meio de Moisés,
3 para que todo aquele que matar alguém sem intenção e acidentalmente possa fugir para lá e proteger-se do vingador da vítima.
4 “Quando o homicida involuntário fugir para uma dessas cidades, terá que colocar-se junto à porta da cidade e expor o caso às autoridades daquela cidade. Eles o receberão e lhe darão um local para morar entre eles.
5 Caso o vingador da vítima o persiga, eles não o entregarão, pois matou seu próximo acidentalmente, sem maldade e sem premeditação.
6 Todavia, ele terá que permanecer naquela cidade até comparecer a julgamento perante a comunidade e até morrer o sumo sacerdote que estiver servindo naquele período. Então poderá voltar para a sua própria casa, à cidade de onde fugiu”.
