This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
until. The cities of refuge, being cities of the priests, bore the sin of the mauslayer. What the high priest was to the Levites, the Levites were to the nation. On the Day of Atonement, therefore, all the sins of the nation came into his hand. On his death he was freed from the Law (Rom_6:7; Rom_7:1-4), and those whom he represented were freed also. Compare Rom_5:9-11. Heb_7:23-25 for the contrast.
