Chamishi

  1. Mitzvos relating to a Navi:
    • The gentile nations need to turn to Meoninim and Kosmin for future guidance. However, Hashem gave the Jewish people the prophets in their place [as the Shechina resides on the prophets and the Urim Vetumim]. Hashem will bring to you a prophet from your midst who is similar to me, and you shall listen to him.
    • You asked Hashem by Chorev not to hear Hashem’s voice directly lest you die. Hashem agreed with you and told me that He would establish for you a prophet through whom I shall speak. One who does not listen to the words of the prophet who speaks in My name, I shall hold him accountable.
    • A false prophet: A prophet who speaks not in My name, and one who speaks in the name of idolatry, is to be killed.
    • How to tell if one is a false prophet: Now, if you ask yourselves how will you know who is a false or true prophet, if the matter that he predicted does not come true, he is a false prophet. Do not fear him.

 

  1. Mitzvos relating to Ir Miklat:
    • Upon arrival to Eretz Yisrael and the eventual conquest and inheritance, three cities of refuge [i.e. Arei Miklat] are to be established. Each city is to be placed in an equal distance from each other and spread out in the land for a murderer to seek refuge in. The refuge city is meant for an accidental murderer, such as one who accidentally killed while wood chopping. He is to seek refuge from the relative of the victim who may kill him.
    • Building an additional three cities: When Hashem expands your borders, you are to build another three cities.
    • An intentional murderer: An intentional murderer cannot seek refuge in the city and he is to be extradited and killed. You are not to have mercy on him.
