Parashat Masei – Opening Questions

  • What is the purpose of the cities of refuge? Are they meant to safeguard the unintentional murderer or to punish him?
  • Why does the Torah feel it necessary to list all the sites through which the Children of Israel traveled? Why are some stops discussed at length and others just mentioned?
  • How do the borders of the Land of Israel listed here compare to those found in Bereshit 15, Shemot 23, Devarim 1 and 12 and Yehoshua 1?
  • Why do the princes first react to the ruling regarding the daughters of Zelophcahd in Bemidbar 36?
