Contextual Overview

1 If one be founde slayne in the lande which the Lord thy God geueth thee to possesse it, and lyeth in the fielde, and it is not knowen who hath slayne hym: 2 Then thine elders and thy iudges shal come foorth, and measure vnto the cities that are rounde about hym that is slayne: 3 And let the elders of that citie which is next vnto the slayne man, take out of the droue an heyffer that hath not ben put to labour, nor hath drawen in the yoke: 4 And let the elders of that citie bring the heyffer vnto a harde & rough valley which is neither eared nor sowen, and stryke of the heyffers necke there in the valley: 5 And the priestes the sonnes of Leui (whom the Lord thy God hath chosen to minister, and to blesse in the name of the Lorde) shall come foorth: and by their worde shall all strife and plague be tryed. 6 And all the elders of the citie that come foorth to the slayne man, shall washe their handes ouer the heyffer that is beheaded in the valley, 7 And shall aunswere, and say: Our handes haue not shed this blood, neither haue our eyes seene it. 8 Be mercifull Lorde vnto thy people Israel which thou hast deliuered, and lay no innocent blood vnto thy people of Israels charge. And the blood shalbe forgeuen them. 9 And so shalt thou put innocent blood from thee, when thou shalt haue done that which is ryght in the syght of the Lorde.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

If one be found slain,.... After public war with an enemy, Moses proceeds to speak of a private quarrel and fight of one man with another, in which one is slain, as Aben Ezra observes:

in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee to possess it; where murders might be committed more secretly, and remain undiscovered, when they came to live in separate cities, towns, and villages, with fields adjacent to them, than now encamped together:

lying in the field; where the quarrel begun, and where the fight was fought: or, however, where the murderer met with his enemy, and slew him, and left him; it being common for duels to be fought, and murders committed in a field; the first murder in the world was committed in such a place, Genesis 4:8. The Targum of Jonathan is,

"not hidden under an heap, not hanging on a tree, nor swimming on the face of the waters;''

which same things are observed in the Misnah i, and gathered from some words in the text:

in the land, and so not under a heap;

lying, and so not hanging;

in the field, and so not swimming on the water:

and it be not known who hath slain him; the parties being alone, and no witnesses of the fact, at least that appear; for, if it was known, the heifer was not beheaded, later mentioned k; and one witness in this case was sufficient, and even one that was not otherwise admitted.

i Sotah, c. 9. sect. 2. k Maimon. Hilchot Rotzeach, c. 9. sect. 11, 12.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER XXI

If a man be found slain in a field, and the cause of his death

be unknown, the murder shall be expiated by the sacrifice of a

heifer in an uncultivated valley, 1-4.

The rites to be used on the occasion, 5-9.

The ordinance concerning marriage with a captive, 10-14.

The law relative to the children of the hated and beloved wives:

if the son of the hated wife should be the first-born he shall

not be disinherited by the son of the beloved wife, but shall

have a double portion of all his father's goods, 15-18.

The law concerning the stubborn and rebellious son, who, when

convicted, is to be stoned to death, 19-21.

Of the person who is to be hanged, 22.

His body shall not be left on the tree all night; every one that

is hanged on a tree is accursed of God, 23.
