In context

26But if the manslayer ever goes outside the limits of the city of refuge to which he fled

27And the avenger of blood finds him outside of his city of refuge and kills him, then the avenger will not be guilty of bloodshed,

28Because the manslayer must remain in his city of refuge until the death of the high priest. Only after the death of the high priest may he return to the land he owns.

29This will be a statutory ordinance for you for the generations to come, wherever you live.

30If anyone kills a person, the murderer is to be put to death on the testimony of the witnesses. But no one is to be put to death based on the testimony of a lone witness.
