Blood Avengers:
Cities Of Refuge
RABBI RICHARD C. HERTZ
Special to The Jewish News
T
his closing sedra of
Numbers describes the
stages of the journeys
the Israelites took from Egypt
to the plains of Moab east of
the Jordan River. After the
ideal boundaries of the Pro-
mised Land are described in
detail, the Torah then
designates six cities which
Moses sets aside for
perpetrators of accidental
homicides. Three of these
cities are to be west of the Jor-
dan located in the ancient
tribes of Nephtali, Ephraim
and Judah. The other three
are to be on the east side of
the Jordan River located in
the tribes of Reuben, Gad and
Manasseh.
What was the purpose of
establishing these cities of
refuge? With no prison
system or caretaker jails to
protect a person out on bail,
the ancient legal procedure
established by Moses was to
create cities where a
manslayer could go and be

immune from persecution by
a blood avenger and where he
could lead a normal life and
earn a livelihood. One who
was involved in an accidental
killing could present himself
at the city gate to the elders
of the city, who would then
give him sanctuary. Once
taken to court, the accused, if
found guilty of premeditated
murder, would be executed.
But if found guilty of un-
premeditated manslaughter,
he would be returned to the
city of refuge and stay there.
During the time of being con-
fined to the city of refuge, he
was not allowed to leave the
city precincts, lest the
avengers apprehend him and
take the law into their own
hands. Once released from
the city of refuge, the accus-
ed could return to normal life.
It is hard for us nowadays to
understand the ancient social
responsibility of being an
avenger of blood. In ancient
primitive society, if someone
was murdered, there rested a
blot of shame upon that fami-
ly until satisfaction had been
obtained and the family
honor restored.
