Numbers 35:27-29

International Standard Version

²⁷ and the blood avenger finds him outside the town of refuge where he had fled and kills him, the blood avenger is not to be found guilty of murder. ²⁸ The inadvertent killer^[a] is to live in the town of refuge until the High Priest dies. After the death of the High Priest, the inadvertent killer is to return to the land of his inheritance. ²⁹ These are to be the statutes and ordinances for you throughout all your generations, regardless of where you live.”^[b]
