35:26. If the murderer be found without the limits of the cities that are appointed for the banished,
35:27. And be struck by him that is the avenger of blood: he shall not be guilty that killed him.
35:28. For the fugitive ought to have stayed in the city until the death of the high priest: and after he is dead, then shall the manslayer return to his own country.
35:29. These things shall be perpetual, and for an ordinance in all your dwellings.
35:30. The murderer shall be punished by witnesses: none shall be condemned upon the evidence of one man.
35:31. You shall not take money of him that is guilty of blood, but he shall die forthwith.
35:32. The banished and fugitives before the death of the high priest may by no means return into their own cities.
35:33. Defile not the land of your habitation, which is stained with the blood of the innocent: neither can it otherwise be expiated, but by his blood that hath shed the blood of another.
35:34. And thus shall your possession be cleansed, myself abiding with you. For I am the Lord that dwell among the children of Israel.
