20:4 The one who committed manslaughter
should escape to one of these cities, stand at the entrance of the city gate, and present his case to the leaders of that city.
They should then bring him into the city, give him a place to stay, and let him live there.
20:5 When the avenger of blood comes after him, they must not hand over to him the one who committed manslaughter, for he accidentally killed his fellow man without premeditation.

in that city until his case is decided by the assembly
and the high priest dies.
Then the one who committed manslaughter may return home to the city from which he escaped.”
