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 deliver the slayer out of the hand of the avenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore him to the city of his refuge whither he had fled; and he shall abide in it unto the death of the high priest who was anointed with the holy oil.

26 But if the slayer shall at any time come outside the border of the city of his refuge whither he had fled,

27 and the avenger of blood find him outside the borders of the city of his refuge, and the avenger of blood kill the slayer, he shall not be guilty of blood,

28 because he 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 slayer shall return into the land of his possession.

29 "`So these things shall be for a statute of judgment unto you throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
