गिनती 35:28

क्योंकि खूनी को महायाजक की मृत्यु तक शरणनगर में रहना चाहिये; और महायाजक के मरने के पश्चात् वह अपनी निज भूमि को लौट सकेगा।

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.
