Deuteronomy 21:1-3

Lying in the field Or, in the city, or any place: only the field is named as the place where such murders are most commonly committed. Thy elders and judges Those of thy elders who are judges: the judges or rulers of all the neighbouring cities. Measure Unless it be evident which city is nearest; for then measuring was superfluous. Which hath not drawn in the yoke A fit representation of the murderer, in whose stead it was killed, who would not bear the yoke of God's laws. A type also of Christ, who was under no yoke but what he had voluntarily taken upon himself.
