Verse 5 is found in chapter 19 of Deuteronomy. Cities of refuge are established to protect anyone who accidentally causes another person’s death. The unintentional killer must be able to reach a city of refuge quickly, while deliberate murder requires a different response. The legislation seeks to prevent both indiscriminate vengeance and impunity by carefully distinguishing the circumstances surrounding the shedding of blood.
