Numbers 35:27-29

21st Century King James Version

²⁷ and the avenger of blood find him outside the borders of the city of his refuge, and the avenger of blood kill the slayer, he shall not be guilty of blood,

²⁸ because he should have remained in the city of his refuge until the death of the high priest; but after the death of the high priest the slayer shall return into the land of his possession.

²⁹ “‘So these things shall be for a statute of judgment unto you throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
