The word translated [They have wrought] is drawn from a word that signifies, they have wrought iniquity, that is, vain ⟨p. 627⟩things. And is polluted with blood, or supplanted with blood, or overturned with blood;1 the Levites which had their abode there have undone the City, how many Cities, are supplanted and overturned by the Priests which live in them, by their cruelties, and by their distinctions and subtle pretences for sin and wickedness? they have supplanted these Cities of refuge: these Cities of refuge were for those which had shed blood at unawares, they flying to them were secure:2 but these Cities were supplanted, and polluted; now this was done these four ways.
