27. and the avenger of blood finds him outside the borders of the city of his refuge, and the avenger of blood kills the manslayer, he will not be guilty of blood,
28. because the manslayer 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 manslayer may return to the land of his possession.
29. So these things will be for a statute of judgment to you throughout your generations in all your dwelling places.
30. Whoever kills a person, the murderer will be put to death by the testimony of witnesses, but one witness will not testify against a person for death.
31. And you will not take a ransom for the life of a murderer who is guilty of death, but he will surely be put to death.
32. You will not take a ransom for him who fled to the city of his refuge, that he should come out again to dwell in the land, until the death of the priest.
33. So you will not defile the land which you are in, because blood defiles the land, and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed in it, except by the blood of him that shed it.
34. So do not defile the land which you are dwelling in, where I am residing, because I the Lord am residing among the children of Israel.
