➡️ Tuvia and Yitzi talk Parsha; Massei \ Massay - פרשת מסעי
This week we read about the ערי מקלט (the Cities of Refuge) that someone who murdered non-intentionally has to "run" to, so that a blood-relative of the murdered person, won't catch up to the murderer and kill the murderer in return.
But this brings up an obvious question - why does the murderer have to escape to the עיר מקלט to save themself from the blood-relative - just don't allow the blood-relative to kill the murderer!!
Why are we forcing the murderer to run to the Refuge City??
And if you'd want to claim it's a punishment - well, this isn't the punishment yet - this is before the court case has even happened...!
And besides, why force the murderer to go to an עיר מקלט, and not just stick them in prison?!
What's this "running to the Refuge City" all about...?
