But if the slayer shall at any time come without the border of the city of his refuge, whither he was fled;
Pero si la persona que mató a alguien sale de los límites de la ciudad donde huyó para protegerse,
El homicida que abandona su ciudad de refugio pierde su protección legal.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In ancient Israel, God established cities of refuge as safe places for individuals who had accidentally killed someone, protecting them from revenge by the victim's family until a proper trial could determine their guilt. This law, given through Moses, was part of the broader system of justice in the Old Testament to distinguish between intentional murder and unintentional manslaughter, ensuring that fairness prevailed in a society governed by tribal customs. These cities emphasized the sanctity of life and the need for orderly legal processes rather than immediate retribution.
