Matthew Poole and continuators on Exodus 21:13

13 And if a man lie not in wait , but God deliver him into his hand , then I will appoint thee a place whither he shall flee :

If it appear, that the manslayer did not intend nor desire it, but onely it fell out by his heedlesness, or by some casualty.

By some special unexpected providence: or, God and not man, God without the mans contrivance or design: for otherwise in a general sence and way God delivered Christ into the hands of Iudas and the Iews who did advisedly and maliciously kill him.

(i. e.) A city or place of refuge, Numb. 35. 11. Deut. 19. 5.
