COMMENTS
|
*1 The phrase JUDGES IN THOSE DAYS=JUDGES OF THOSE TIMES
only occurs in 4 verses. Rashi only comments on
Dt17-09 and Dt26-03. However it is reasonable to extend
his comments to the other verses.
*2 EVEN though you want a NEW decision you still must
abide by the JUDGE OF THE TIMES
*3 Even though you are seeking freedom from a feeling
of possession and emphasizing your slave-past you
must still seek guidance and confess to
the PRIESTS OF THE TIMES (Note: A person may
feel uncomfortable speaking about his vulnerable
past to a priest who is not on a high spriritual
level)
*4 The negligent murderer must stay in the refuge city
till the priest---even if he is an ordinary priest--
dies (Despite the seriousness of murder the death
of the priest--even an ordinary priest--atones.)
