as when a man goeth into the wood with his neighbour to hew wood, and his hand fetcheth a stroke with the axe to cut down the tree, and the head slippeth from the helve, and lighteth upon his neighbour, that he die; he shall flee unto one of those cities, and live:
Deuteronomy 19:5 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/deu.19.5.KJV
Why did the lord their God not prevent this, being present in thier midst and seeing all things.
Why did he not prevent this but rather has made concessions for the what should be done ans for the innocent slayer.
It is obvious that God was setting up the general principles of guidance for man 👨 to follow without God’s direct supervision.
Man was to be governed by the laws of God and God was setting up the system for that so it would not require his constant monitoring and interruption.
So now with the sytrme set and running 🏃, now God can step in as He pleases to for instant prevent the ax head from killing an innocent man 👨 or he can choose to let it happened because in his providence that man ought to die but justice has eloped him.
Or the innocent slayer would flee to the land and in that land God has a plan for him or his descendants.
Once the system is working God can be God in controlling things behind the scenes in his divine wisdom and judgements.
Its same in our world today, many times evil 😈 befalls us and we ask why.
Knowing very well that God could have prevented it. But that is the providence of God.
Though we may not always understand him but that is his providence. https://bible.com/bible/1/deu.19.5.KJV
Thou shalt not remove thy neighbour’s landmark, which they of old time have set in thine inheritance, which thou shalt inherit in the land that the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it.
