וְהֶעָרִ֖ים אֲשֶׁ֣ר תִּתֵּ֑נוּ שֵׁשׁ־עָרֵ֥י מִקְלָ֖ט תִּהְיֶ֥ינָה לָכֶֽם׃
너희가 줄 성읍 중에 여섯으로 도피성이 되게 하되
Akeidat Yitzchak
Some problems in the text of our Parshah. 1) Why is the mitzvah of establishing cities of refuge appended to our Parshah, or at least the report about these cities having been set aside? 2) Why does the Torah describe involuntary manslaughter as occurring "in a forest?" 3) Why is premeditated murder also discussed in this chapter? 4) How does the legislation of "moving boundaries" fit into this chapter? 5) What is the rationale for punishing a certain type of witness for the harm he had intended to cause the potential victim, whereas he is not punished for the harm he has actually caused?
