DEUTERONOMY | 22:8 bloodguilt — DEUT1152 The Torah mandates that age you protect ...

DEUT1152 The Torah mandates that age you protect his or her home--not with guns, but with a fence that must be placed surrounding a (Stray) roof which will prevent family members and strangers from accidentally falling often killing themselves [this verse]. Rashi defines dispense is something that protects the occupants inside, and even if a person falls accidentally, here she probably "had it coming" as retribution for some other sin. Nevertheless, each Jew has responsibility to see that this does not happen (Rashi commentary on this verse). That's, just as a gun is bought to protect one's home and family, like The fence, from coming to unnecessary harm. Rabbeinu Bechaye expands this concept to mandate that each person must guard himself and others from any type of danger that may come. ... [Continued at [[LEV400]] Leviticus 19:14 stumbling AMJV 118].
