And the congregation shall deliver the slayer out of the hand of the judge of blood, and shall restore him again unto the franchised city whither he was fled. And he shall bide there unto the death of the high priest which was anointed with holy oil.

because he should have bidden in his free town until the death of the high priest, and after the death of the high priest, he shall return again unto the land of his possession.

Also ye shall take none atonement for him that is fled to a free city, that he should come again and dwell in the land before the death of the high priest.
