TTN Tyndale Theme Notes:

The Cities of Refuge

The cities of refuge were built to protect innocent people from blood revenge. An avenger had the legal right to put a murderer to death (Num 35:19; see Gen 9:6). If a person caused someone’s death accidentally, the slayer fled to a city of refuge to find temporary safety while awaiting trial (Num 35:22-28). The six cities of refuge were distributed across Hebrew territory so that any Israelite could seek asylum.

If, after trial, the fugitive was convicted of murder (instead of involuntary manslaughter), he was turned over to the avenger and received his due punishment (Deut 19:12). If he was found innocent of murder, the slayer remained in the city of refuge, where he was granted asylum. When the high priest died, the slayer was free to return home and was no longer subject to blood revenge. This merciful legal arrangement protected the land from further pollution by innocent blood (see Num 35:33).

It was not acceptable to pay a fine to atone for the death of another human being, even if that death was not premeditated (Num 35:31-33). Human life was too precious to be ransomed with a simple payment. When a human being was killed, whether deliberately or by accident, it resulted in alienation or exile.

Atonement does not come easily, whether in ancient Israelite times or in our own day; each person is in need of atonement to restore their relationship with God (see Rom 3:23-26). Jesus, the Son of God, provides this reconciliation through his work as the Great High Priest who offered himself as the ultimate sacrifice (see Heb 4:14–10:18).

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

יַכְרִ֞ית יְהוָ֤ה אֱלֹהֶ֨י⁠ךָ֙

cuts_off YHWH God,your

Here, cuts off means destroy or exterminate. Yahweh destroying the people who live in Canaan is spoken of as if he were cutting them off, as one would cut a piece of cloth or cut a branch from a tree. Alternate translation: “Yahweh your God eliminates”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

אֶת־הַ⁠גּוֹיִ֔ם

DOM the=nations

Here, the nations represents the people groups who live in those nations. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “those people groups”

Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns

אֶת־אַרְצָ֑⁠ם

DOM DOM land,whose

The pronoun their refers to the people of the “nations.” If this is not clear for your readers, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “the territory of those nations”
