*19.6 Makkos Daf 12 B (4 lines Up)**Summary**Mishna:**{Similarly,} a murderer should not accept honor* from the people of the _ir miklat_ , *he must declare “I am a murderer”. If they persist he may accept the honor.* As it states “This is the word of the murderer”._(The mishna begins with the word “similarly” because our mishna is similar to the mishna in 14.2 which also learns a din from the same possuk. However some omit this word.)_*Rabbi Yehuda: The murderers would pay rent* to the levi’im (who resided in these cities).*Rabbi Meir: They would not pay rent.**Rabbi Meir: The murderer would be reinstated to his position* (if he was a _dayan_ or he held some other office) after being released from the _ir miklat._*Rabbi Yehuda: He is not reinstated.**Gemara:**Rav Kahana:* Only with regard to the six primary sanctuary cities regarding which the Torah states _lachem_ , Rabbi Meir holds that _lachem_ means it has to be provided rent free.However in the forty two cities of the _levi'im_ (which also provided asylum) Rabbi Meir agrees that rent had to be paid.*Rava* to Rav Kahana: _Lachem_ certainly entitles the murderer to live rent free. So *regarding the six primary cities, Rabbi Yehuda agrees* that rent need not be paid.They only debate whether *the additional forty two* were added on to include all the benefits of the six cities. *Rabbi Yehuda holds* that while the six are primarily for sanctuary, *the forty two are primarily for _levi’im_ and rent must be paid to them.* See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
