Today's commentary includes a discussion on the true borders of Israel which have yet to be fully occupied by G-d's People, and G-d's definition of "inclusion" and "equity" demonstrated through the instructions for distribution of the Land, and the inclusion of the daughters from the family of M'nasheh to inherit land. This was a request of the daughters who took the initiative to ask for an amendment to G-d's instructions concerning land inheritance, which G-d honored.

I also discuss the cities of refuge and the instructions concerning their use. Applicability to us today will be discussed in relation to past sins and our accountability to G-d for any sins committed after we have become reconciled to G-d.
