avenger_n of_o blood_n until_o he_o stand_v before_o the_o congregation_n 1_o and_o the_o lord_n speak_v etc_n etc_n whereas_o it_o come_v not_o in_o their_o mind_n to_o appoint_v the_o city_n of_o

when_o the_o like_a and_o the_o very_a same_o reason_n be_v here_o wherefore_o do_v they_o stay_v why_o do_v they_o not_o bring_v to_o a_o end_n that_o which_o they_o have_v well_o begin_v consider_v that_o it_o be_v for_o great_a cause_n that_o innocent_a person_n shall_v have_v safe_a place_n of_o refuge_n appoint_v they_o lest_o the_o land_n shall_v be_v defile_v with_o blood_n for_o except_o

it_o appear_v by_o this_o that_o their_o offence_n be_v but_o of_o negligence_n that_o they_o be_v immediate_o ready_a to_o obey_v and_o do_v not_o prolong_v the_o matter_n nor_o hinder_v and_o stay_v so_o necessary_a a_o business_n with_o unprofitable_a contention_n but_o what_o be_v the_o law_n of_o these_o sanctuary_n we_o have_v elsewhere_o declare_v for_o by_o they_o be_v no_o impunity_n

be_v appoint_v for_o the_o same_o purpose_n so_o god_n help_v the_o poor_a wretch_n where_o they_o be_v without_o fault_n lest_o they_o shall_v have_v suffer_v punishment_n unworthy_o when_o they_o have_v commit_v no_o wicked_a fact_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n god_n of_o his_o clemency_n grant_v thus_o much_o to_o the_o brethren_n and_o kinsman_n of_o they_o that_o be_v dead_a that_o their_o

for_o that_o temporal_a punishment_n do_v clear_o show_v how_o precious_a man_n blood_n be_v in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n so_o the_o law_n both_o to_o the_o whole_a state_n and_o every_o private_a

which_o here_o be_v set_v do_v signify_v also_o to_o consecrate_v and_o appoint_v wherefore_o i_o judge_v that_o the_o city_n be_v so_o choose_v out_o as_o serve_v best_a for_o the_o common_a profit_n whereby_o it_o be_v gather_v that_o they_o do_v true_o moderate_v themselves_o that_o private_a utility_n give_v place_n to_o public_a profit_n but_o in_o the_o next_o chapter_n we_o shall_v see_v

challenge_v to_o himself_o so_o soon_o as_o the_o lot_n do_v show_v that_o such_o be_v the_o pleasure_n of_o god_n and_o it_o be_v needful_a brief_o to_o touch_v this_o change_n because_o god_n will_v have_v the_o refuge_n to_o be_v only_o in_o the_o city_n of_o the_o levite_n that_o their_o innocence_n may_v be_v defend_v among_o they_o with_o more_o fidelity_n and_o authority_n chap._n 21._o then_o come_v the_o principal_a father_n of_o the_o levite_n unto_o eleazar_n the_o priest_n and_o unto_o joshue_v the_o son_n of_o nun_n and_o unto_o the_o chief_a father_n of_o the_o tribe_n of_o

of_o the_o child_n of_o kohath_n have_v by_o lot_n out_o of_o the_o family_n of_o the_o tribe_n of_o ephraim_n and_o out_o of_o the_o tribe_n of_o dan_n and_o out_o of_o the_o half_a tribe_n of_o

unto_o the_o levite_n these_o city_n with_o their_o suburb_n as_o the_o lord_n have_v command_v by_o the_o hand_n of_o moses_n 9_o and_o they_o give_v out_o of_o the_o tribe_n of_o the_o child_n of_o

of_o jephunneh_n to_o be_v his_o possession_n 13_o thus_o they_o give_v to_o the_o child_n of_o aaron_n the_o priest_n a_o city_n of_o refuge_n for_o the_o slayer_n even_o hebron_n with_o her_o

therefore_o we_o must_v consider_v that_o when_o the_o lot_n be_v cast_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o ten_o tribe_n certain_a city_n in_o the_o land_n of_o chanaan_n be_v draw_v out_o of_o every_o
