Numbers 35:27

27 and the blood avenger finds him outside * the border of his city of refuge, and the blood avenger kills the manslayer, he will not be guilty of blood

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 congregation shall deliver the manslayer from the hand of the blood avenger, and the congregation shall restore him to his city of refuge to which he fled; and he shall live in it until the death of the high priest who was anointed with the holy oil.
26 'But if the manslayer at any time goes beyond the border of his city of refuge to which he may flee,
27 and the blood avenger finds him outside the border of his city of refuge, and the blood avenger kills the manslayer, he will not be guilty of blood
28 because he should have remained in his city of refuge until the death of the high priest. But after the death of the high priest the manslayer shall return to the land of his possession.
29 'These things shall be for a statutory ordinance to you throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
