City of escape

-

Location of escape cities Cities of escape (Hebrew: עיר מקלט) - Six Biblical Leviathan towns where an unintentional killer could find shelter from the wendet:

The right of unintentional killers to seek refuge is mentioned in Exodus (Ex 21:13). This place was originally a sacrificial altar, as evidenced by the next verse. This law was different from the rights of other ancient peoples, because in other traditions, everyone, not just the killer, could take refuge in the temple. The cities of escape were indicated by Moses, when the chosen people were on the border of Canaan after leaving Egypt. The Book of Deuteronomy (Deut 4: 4,43; 19,2,7-9) and Joshua (20,7-8) were three Canaanite cities (Hebron, Shechem and Kedesz) and three Hordalandes (Beser, Ramot and Golan).

In the Talmud and authors who investigated the status of cities of escape, the killer had the right to seek shelter in all 48 Leipzig cities, yet only six were granted him unconditionally, while in the other 42 he had to obtain the consent of the community and maintain himself measures. The roads that led to the cities of escape should have been passable, and the crossroads should indicate the direction in which the city is located. The urban escapee, having heard the request for shelter, gave the applicant a temporary permit to stay in the city. When a court hearing was called, the applicant was escorted to court to protect him from revenge.

According to the Book of Numbers (Numbers 35,25,28) and Joshua (Josh 20: 6), if a murderer has been found guilty in the court and his will is proven, the criminal is punished with death or passed over to the relatives of the slain. If, on the other hand, the killer's crime was considered unintentional, the killer was directed to stay in the city for the duration of the high priest's death, after which the killer could leave the city without fear of relatives killing him. He could not leave town for fear of the wendet (Lb 35,27). Living in one city was both a protection and a punishment for unintentional killers. Jewish legislation prohibits the substitution of a fine (Lb 35,31-32) in the city.
