Parasha Commentary
Context in the Torah
The verse (Numbers 35:29) appears in the context of the laws concerning the cities of refuge (ערי מקלט) and the procedures for handling cases of unintentional manslaughter. It establishes that these laws are eternal and binding for all generations, regardless of where the Jewish people reside.
Rashi's Explanation
Rashi (Rabbi Shlomo Yitzchaki) comments on this verse by emphasizing that the phrase "לְחֻקַּת מִשְׁפָּט" (a statute of judgment) indicates that these laws are immutable and must be upheld by the courts in every generation. He notes that the term "בְּכֹל מוֹשְׁבֹתֵיכֶם" (in all your dwellings) teaches that these laws apply even outside the Land of Israel, underscoring their universal and timeless nature.
Rambam's Perspective
In Mishneh Torah (Hilchot Rotzeach 8:4), the Rambam (Maimonides) elaborates that the cities of refuge and their associated laws remain in effect even when the Sanhedrin is not convened. This reinforces the idea that the Torah's judicial statutes are perpetual obligations, not contingent on specific historical or political circumstances.
Midrashic Insight
The Midrash Tanchuma (Masei 10) connects this verse to the broader principle of divine justice, teaching that the laws of the cities of refuge reflect Hashem's mercy even in cases of accidental wrongdoing. The phrase "לְדֹרֹתֵיכֶם" (throughout your generations) is interpreted as a reminder that justice must be administered with the same care and precision in every era.
Halachic Implications
- The verse establishes that these laws are binding on all Jewish courts, whether in Israel or the diaspora (Rambam, Hilchot Sanhedrin 1:1-2).
- The term "לְחֻקַּת מִשְׁפָּט" implies that these are not merely social ordinances but divine decrees (Sforno on Numbers 35:29).
- The inclusion of "בְּכֹל מוֹשְׁבֹתֵיכֶם" teaches that Torah law transcends geographical boundaries (Talmud, Makkot 7a).
