Numbers 35:26-28

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁶ If the murderer be found without the limits of the cities that are appointed for the banished,

²⁷ And be struck by him that is the avenger of blood: he shall not be guilty that killed him.

²⁸ For the fugitive ought to have stayed in the city until the death of the high priest: and after he is dead, then shall the manslayer return to his own country.
