Introduction 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 Numbers Joshua
Deuteronomy 19
Of the cites of refuge, ver. 1-10. Of wilful murderers, ver.
11-13. Of removing land-marks, ver. 14. Of witnesses, true, ver. 15. Of false, ver. 16-21.
Verse 2. In the midst of the land - Namely, beyond Jordan, as there were
three already appointed on this side Jordan: In the midst of the
several parts of their land, to which they might speedily flee from
all the parts of the land.
Verse 3. Prepare thee a way - Distinguish it by evident marks, and make
it plain and convenient, to prevent mistakes and delays.
Verse 8. Enlarge thy coast - As far as Euphrates.
Verse 9. If thou shalt keep all these commandments - But the Jewish
writers themselves own, that the condition not being performed,
the promise of enlarging their coast was not fulfilled, so that there
was no need for three more cities of refuge. Yet the holy, blessed
God, say they, did not command it in vain, for in the day's of
Messiah the Prince, they shall be added. They expect it in the
letter: but we know, it has in Christ its spiritual accomplishment.
For the borders of the Gospel- Israel are inlarged according to the
promise: and in the Lord our righteousness, refuge is provided for
all that by faith fly to him.
Verse 15. Rise - Or be established, accepted, owned as sufficient: it is
the same word which in the end of the verse is rendered, be
established.
Verse 16. A safe witness - A single witness, though he speak truth, is not
to be accepted for the condemnation of another man, but if he be
convicted of false witness, this is sufficient for his own
condemnation.
Verse 21. Eye for eye - What punishment the law allotted to the accused,
if he had been convicted, the same shall the false accuser bear.
