It is obvious that *the dwelling must be within the city proper.*The law is: fields cannot be changed to suburbs, nor can suburbs become a city or the city a suburb.[If one dwells in the techum of the city he is turning a suburb into a city!]*Rav Sheishes:* The _beraisa_ can be referring to someone who wishes *to dwell in a cave.* [By living in a cave he is not changing the techum into a city].We learned in the _mishna_ (17.4) that *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.*Beraisa:* “V’ratzach _[can be translated ‘if he murdered’ or ‘he should murder’]_ goeil hadam” *Rabbi Yosi Hagelili:* This teaches that the _goeil hadam_ has an obligation to kill the murderer and anyone else is not guilty for killing him. *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. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information. This podcast has been graciously sponsored by JewishPodcasts.fm.
