And if a man lie not in wait, but God delivers him into his hand; then I will appoint you a place where he shall flee.
All Commentaries on Exodus 21:13 Go To Exodus 21
Athanasius the Apostolic
AD 373
For there was a command under the law that cities of refuge should be appointed, in order that they who were sought after to be put to death might at least have some means of saving themselves. And when he who spoke to Moses, the Word of the Father, appeared in the end of the world, he also gave this commandment, saying, “But when they persecute you in this city, flee into another.”
