Siddur Sefard
On seeing that it is so, Edom's guardian angel will think that Botzrah is a refuge like Betzer.29Betzer was one of the cities of refuge prescribed by the Torah. That an angel, like a man, is protected within it, and that the premeditated [killer] like the unpremeditated [killer] is held in the refuge.30The Talmud (Makos 12a) says that the guardian angel of Esau will make three mistakes in fleeing to Botzrah. All three are enumerated in this stanza. “Love Adonoy, all His pious ones, the faithful ones whom He preserves.”31Psalms 31:24.
