Numbers 35:27-29

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

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.

²⁹ These things shall be perpetual, and for an ordinance in all your dwellings.
