1. RASHI METHOD: REFERENCES BRIEF EXPLANATION: Commentary on a verse is provided thru a cross-reference to another verse. The cross references can either provide (1a) further details, (1b) confirm citations, or (1c) clarify word meaning. This examples applies to Rashis Ex21-13e URL Reference: (c) http://www.Rashiyomi.com/rule1207.htm Brief Summary: A negligent murderer is given a place of refuge to flee (Ex21-13e): a) 6 refuge cities in Israel and b) the Levite camp/cities in the wilderness and Israel (Nu35-06:07)

Verse Ex21-12:13 discussing refuge cities for the negligent murderer states He who strikes a man, so that he dies, shall be surely put to death. But if a man not ambush, but G-d cause it to come to hand; then I will appoint thee a place whither he may flee. Rashi notes that the underlined words, I will appoint thee a place whither he may flee references verses Nu35-06:07 discussing the refuge cities that existed in Israel and the Wilderness. Hence the Rashi comment The 6 refuge cities for negligent murderes were only set aside when the Jews came to Israel (Nu35-10:11). However both in Israel and in the wilderness the negligent murderer could also flee to the cities allocated to the Levites, since the Levite cities were also refuge cities for the negligent murderer (Nu35-06:07). Hence the statement that God set a place of refuge for the negligent murderer Ex21-13e refers, during their wilderness stay, to the Levite cities, but not to the 6 refuge cities which only existed in Israel.

He who strikes a man, so that he dies, shall be surely put to death. But if a man lie not in wait, but G-d cause it to come to hand; then I will appoint thee a place whither he may flee.	And the cities which you shall give to the Levites shall be six cities of refuge, which you shall appoint for the man slayer that he may flee there; and to them you shall add forty two cities. So all the cities which you shall give to the Levites shall be forty eight cities; both them and their open grounds....Speak to the people of Israel, and say to them; When you pass over the Jordan into the land of Canaan, Then you shall appoint you cities to be cities of refuge for you; that the man slayer who kills any person unawares may flee there.
