TSK - DEUTERONOMY 19

  1  The cities of refuge.

   * De 12:29


VERSE 2 
 - separate three cities.
  Unquestionably in imitation of these cities, the heathen had
  their {asyla,} and the Roman Catholics their privileged
  altars:  and similar traditions seem to obtain in many
  barbarous nations, for "the North American Indian nations have
  most of them either a house or town of refuge, which is a sure
  asylum to protect a manslayer, or the unfortunate captive, if
  he once enter it.  In almost every Indian nation, there are
  several towns, which are called old beloved, ancient, holy, or
  white towns, (white being their fixed emblem of peace,
  friendship, prosperity, happiness, purity, etc.)  They seem to
  have been formerly towns of refuge; for it is not in the
  memory of the oldest people that human blood was shed in
  them."

VERSE 14 
 - shalt not remove.
  Before the extensive use of fences, landed property was marked
  out by stones or posts, set up so as to ascertain the
  divisions of family estates.  It was easy to remove one of
  these landmarks, and set it in a different place; and thus a
  dishonest man might enlarge his own estate by contracting that
  of his neighbor.  Hence it was a matter of considerable
  importance to prevent this crime among the Israelites; among
  whom, removing them would be equivalent to forging, altering,
  destroying, or concealing the title-deeds of an estate among
  us.  Accordingly, by the Mosaic law, it was not only
  prohibited in the commandment against covetousness, but we
  find a particular curse expressly annexed to it in ch. 17 27:17.
  Josephus considers this law a general prohibition, intended
  not only to protect private property, but also to preserve the
  boundaries of kingdoms and countries inviolable.
