Commentary on Numbers 35:31

Theological / Devotional

No satisfaction. From the noun form of a verb root commonly translated “to make an atonement,” “to make reconciliation,” “to purge.” Here it means that a murderer might not be redeemed by paying a ransom price. This provision emphasizes the dignity of man and the value of his life in the sight of God.
