25. The innocent shall be delivered from the hand of the revenger, and shall be brought back by sentence into the city, to which he had fled, and he shall abide there until the death of the high priest, that is anointed with the holy oil.
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.
