Accidentally Killed Someone... Go into Exile.
Divine Code for December 13, 2022
Today: Page 346
Topic Chapter 4 -- (all)
A Gentile who accidentally kills a person has a moral obligation to pray for forgiveness from G-d, and to seek atonement and cleansing for his soul from the stain of this accidental but grave sin. He should go into a voluntary self-imposed exile from his place of residence. This we can learn from the story of Cain and Hevel. It is significant that G-d imposed exile upon him after he killed his brother.
