*17.4 Makkos Daf 11 B (21 lines Dn)**Summary**Mishna* continued: If one *killed the _kohen gadol_* [and none was appointed until after his sentencing], *he can never leave* the sanctuary city.Or if *a _kohen gadol_ murdered, he can never leave* the sanctuary city. [If one of the other _kohanim_ are alive, he can leave upon their death].A murderer *cannot leave the sanctuary city for any reason, even to testify* for a _mitzvah [kiddush hachodesh]_ or for testimony in a monetary case or a case of a capital crime. *Even if the people need him* or he’s an army officer as important as Yoav ben Tzeruya; he cannot leave. *As it states “There”;* he must live “there”, die “there” and be buried “there”.*The _techum_ of a sanctuary city provides asylum* just like the city.*If a murderer leaves the sanctuary city* and its techum and is discovered by the _goeil hadam:_*Rabbi Yosi Hagelili:* The goeil hadam *has a _mitzvah_ to kill him. Anyone may kill the murderer* (and will not be liable for murder).*Rabbi Akiva:* The _goeil hadam_ *may kill the murderer* (and will not be liable for murder). *Anyone else is liable for murder* for killing him.*Gemara: What’s the reason* that if the _kohen gadol_ died before he went into exile (the first case in the _mishna_ (17.3) “he need not go into exile at all”?*Abayye:* If the kohen gadol’s death is *potent enough to return him to his home after he already went* into exile; certainly it’s potent enough to preclude him from going.*Challenge:* Perhaps exile provides _kapparah,_ but in our case there was no _kapparah._*Response: The death of the _kohen gadol_ is what effects a _kapparah._* See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
