Numbers 35:25-27

EasyEnglish Bible

²⁵ If the man is a killer but not a murderer, the people must keep him safe from the dead person's relative. They must send him back to the safe city that he ran to. He will live there safely until the death of the leader of God's priests.

²⁶ But one day, the killer might go outside the border of the safe city that he ran to. ²⁷ If he does that, the dead person's relative might find him outside the safe city. Then, if the dead person's relative kills him, the relative will not be guilty of murder.
