To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
His own seat of judgment at Jeru- salem could then form what we might call a court of final appeal, which was open to all Israelites. The arrangement was no doubt rude enough in its beginnings. But what it meant for the improvement of conditions in the country we can see from one example which has fortunately reached us. A widow appealed to the King for the settlement of a blood- feud which was threatening the hfe of her son, and so threatening to extinguish her house and race. The blood-feud, ...like lynch law, is a primitive type of justice which always springs up and flourishes where there is no strong centrahsed authority. From the existence of the asylum-towns, to which a man who had killed his neighbour might flee for refuge from the avenger of blood, it is evident that the practice was regular in the early clan-life of the nation. The right of the avenger to kill a murderer was a coarse, primitive method of preventing a condition of mere force. The one thing which could bring it to an end was to institute some central authority which would guarantee that justice was done in every such murder among the clans.
