Numbers 35:28-32 New International Version Anglicized (NIVUK)

28. The accused must stay in the city of refuge until the death of the high priest; only after the death of the high priest may they return to their own property.

29. ‘ “This is to have the force of law for you throughout the generations to come, wherever you live.

30. ‘ “Anyone who kills a person is to be put to death as a murderer only on the testimony of witnesses. But no one is to be put to death on the testimony of only one witness.

31. ‘ “Do not accept a ransom for the life of a murderer, who deserves to die. They are to be put to death.

32. ‘ “Do not accept a ransom for anyone who has fled to a city of refuge and so allow them to go back and live on their own land before the death of the high priest.
