📚 Contexto Histórico
In ancient Israelite society, God established cities of refuge as part of the Mosaic Law to protect individuals who had accidentally caused someone's death from being killed by a vengeful relative. This system reflected a commitment to fair justice, distinguishing between intentional murder and unintentional manslaughter, and ensured that the accused could live safely until a specific condition was met. The provision for the slayer to remain in the city until the death of the high priest highlighted the role of religious leaders in mediating justice and allowing for eventual restoration.
