Verse 21 is found in chapter 35 of Numbers. Cities of refuge are established to temporarily protect anyone who causes an unintentional death. The mechanism prevents the avenger of blood from immediately executing the responsible person before a proper trial. The text distinguishes between deliberate murder and accidental death, introducing a dimension of procedural justice into the community’s system of protection.
