Exegesis

The temporal idiom mittemol shilshom {מִתְּמ֥וֹל שִׁלְשֽׁוֹם | miṯ·tǝ·mōl šil·šōm} ‘from yesterday, the day before yesterday’ emphasizes the recency of the unintentional act. This structure preserves the interplay of condition, prohibition, causality, and temporality central to the statute.

In context — Joshua 20:5

If the avenger of blood pursues him, the elders must not hand over the slayer into his hands, because he struck his neighbor without knowledge and had not hated him previously.
