Samaritan high priest Saloum Cohen dies at 82
[via PaleoJudaica]
Saloum Cohen, high priest of the tiny Samaritan community and a Palestinian lawmaker, died yesterday. He was 82. [full article from Haaretz]
The article fails to mention the important fact that all the Samaritan exiles for accidental murder are free to leave the Samaritan Cities of Refuge (cf. Num. 35:9-34).
