209 | Joshua ch.20 - Cities of Refuge

from The Tanakh Podcast · host Alex Israel

This chapter allots six cities of refuge: 3 in Transjordan and 3 in Eretz Canaan. The cities are designated for "accidental murderers", to gain protection from the "Blood Avenger" and to stand trial in a fair legal hearing. But is the "Blood Avenger" a Jewish idea? Doesn't this vigilante system seem somewhat primitive? Music: Ehud Banai
