Commentary on Deuteronomy 19:6

Theological / Devotional

The avenger. From the same word translated “kinsman” (see on Ruth 2:20), and “redeemer” (Job 19:25; Ps. 19:14; 78:35; Isa. 41:14 ; 43:14; 54:5).

The way is long. The same concern over the length and inconvenience of the road had been shown by God in relation to duties at the central altar (chs. 12:21; 14:24).
