In this book, Francesco Cocco studies the law on the cities of refuge contained in Num 35,9-34, comparing it with analogue biblical laws (Ex 21; Deut 19 and Josh 20) in order to establish its originality and novelty. He shows that Num 35 seeks to supersede the private justice incarnated by the avenger of blood: someone charged to take revenge for the death of a family member by killing the murderer.
