Verse 15
15. The stranger A temporary resident.
The sojourner Literally the dweller one who remains a settler in Israel but is not an owner of land (Leviticus 25:40) nor a partaker of the sacred gifts. Leviticus 22:10; Leviticus 23:22, notes.
May flee thither To facilitate the flight Moses commanded the roads to the cities of refuge to be kept open. Deuteronomy 19:3. The Talmud adds that at the crossroads posts were erected bearing the word REFUGE to direct the fugitive, lest he should miss his way and fall into the hands of the avenger.
