25 then the innocent one shall be freed from the hand of the revenger, and he shall be returned by this judgment into the city to which he had fled, and he shall stay there until the high priest, who has been anointed with the holy oil, dies.
26 If the one who has killed has been found beyond the limits of the cities which have been assigned to the exiled,
27 and he has been struck by him who is avenging blood, he who killed him shall not be harmed.
28 For the fugitive ought to have resided in the city, until the death of the high priest. Then, after he is dead, the one who has killed shall be returned to his own land.
29 These things shall be a perpetual ordinance in all your habitations.
