Numbers 35:27 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 35:27

And the revenger of blood find him without the borders of the
city of his refuge
Without the suburbs, fields, and vineyards belonging to it:

and the revenger of blood kill the slayer;
being exasperated against him, and to avenge the blood of his relation on him:

he shall not be guilty of blood;
or be reckoned murderer, or die for it.

Numbers 35:27 In-Context

25 The assembly is to protect the one who kills someone from the hand of the avenger of blood. Then the assembly will return him to the city of refuge he fled to, and he must live there until the death of the high priest who was anointed with the holy oil.
26 "If the one who kills someone ever goes outside the border of the city of refuge he fled to,
27 and the avenger of blood finds him outside the border of his city of refuge and kills him, the avenger will not be guilty of bloodshed,
28 for the one who killed a person was supposed to live in his city of refuge until the death of the high priest. Only after the death of the high priest may the one who has killed a person return to the land he possesses.
29 These [instructions] will be a statutory ordinance for you throughout your generations wherever you live.
