Mitzva Count - Masai

There are 6 Mitzvos in this Parsha-
* Set aside 48 cities for the Leviim , 6 of which were also for refuge.
* A murderer may not be put to death before he is judged.
* Every killer , even unintentional , has to go to a city of refuge.
* One witness may not testify or judge a case of a capital crime.
* Money can never be accepted to excuse a murderer from a death penalty.
* or to excuse someone from a city of refuge.
Now may be a good time for a gem of Torah study.
