SEV Biblia, Chapter 21:2

entonces tus ancianos y tus jueces saldrán y medirán hasta las ciudades que están alrededor del muerto;

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 2. Then thy
elders and thy judges shall come forth , etc.] From the city or cities near to which the murder was committed, to make inquiry about it, and expiation for it; so Aben Ezra interprets it of the elders of the cities near, but others understand it of the elders of the great sanhedrim at Jerusalem; so the Targum of Jonathan, “then shall go out from the great sanhedrim two of thy wise men, and three of thy judges;” and more expressly the Misnah f258 , “three go out from the great sanhedrim in Jerusalem;” R. Judah says five, “it is said “thy elders” two, and “thy judges” two,” and there is no sanhedrim or court of judicature equal (or even), therefore they add to them one more: and they shall measure unto the cities which are round about him that is slain ; that is, from the place where the slain lies, as Jarchi rightly interprets it; on all sides of it, from the four corner’s, as the Targum of Jonathan, the cities round about the slain. Maimonides says, they do not behead the heifer for, nor measure, but to a city in which there is a sanhedrim: if it is found between two cities (that is, at an equal distance), both bring two heifers (Maimonides says they bring one between them, which is most reasonable); but the city of Jerusalem does not bring an heifer to be beheaded: the reason is, because it was not divided to the tribes f261 . This measuring, one would think, should be only necessary when it was not certain which was the nearest city; and yet Maimonides says, even when it was found on the side of a city, which was certainly known to be nearest, they measured; the command, he observes, is to measure.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 1-9 - If a murderer could not be found out, great solemnity is
provided for putting away the guilt from the land, as an expression of dread an detesting of that sin. The providence of God has often wonderfull brought to light these hidden works of darkness, and the sin of the guilty has often strangely found them out. The dread of murder shoul be deeply impressed upon every heart, and all should join in detectin and punishing those who are guilty. The elders were to profess tha they had not been any way aiding or abetting the sin. The priests wer to pray to God for the country and nation, that God would be merciful We must empty that measure by our prayers, which others are filling by their sins. All would be taught by this solemnity, to use the utmos care and diligence to prevent, discover, and punish murder. We may all learn from hence to take heed of partaking in other men's sins. And we have fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, if we do no reprove them.
