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 And the congregation shall rescue the slayer from the avenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore him to his city of refuge, whither he fled for refuge; and he shall dwell there till the death of the high-priest, whom they anointed with the holy oil.

26 But if the slayer should in any wise go out beyond the bounds of the city whither he fled for refuge,

27 and the avenger of blood should find him without the bounds of the city of his refuge, and the avenger of blood should kill the slayer, he is not guilty.

28 For he ought to have remained in the city of refuge till the high-priest died; and after the death of the high-priest the slayer shall return to the land of his possession.

29 And these things shall be to you for an ordinance of judgment throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
