The manslayer and the city of refuge
원한 없이 사람을 죽인 자와 도피성
Numbers 35:22–29: if a man kills another without enmity, by a sudden shove, a thing thrown without lying in wait, or a stone thrown without seeing him, the congregation is to judge between the striker and the avenger of blood by these ordinances, deliver the manslayer and restore him to the city of refuge to which he fled; there he stays until the death of the high priest, who was anointed with the holy oil. If he goes outside its border and the avenger of blood kills him, the avenger is not guilty of blood; after the death of the high priest the manslayer may return to the land of his possession. This is a statute throughout their generations.

- NUM 35:22–29, engwebp
22“‘But if he shoved him suddenly without hostility, or hurled on him anything without lying in wait,
23or with any stone, by which a man may die, not seeing him, and cast it on him so that he died, and he was not his enemy and not seeking his harm,
24then the congregation shall judge between the striker and the avenger of blood according to these ordinances.
25The congregation shall deliver the man slayer out of the hand of the avenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore him to his city of refuge, where he had fled. He shall dwell therein until the death of the high priest, who was anointed with the holy oil.
26“‘But if the man slayer shall at any time go beyond the border of his city of refuge where he flees,
27and the avenger of blood finds him outside of the border of his city of refuge, and the avenger of blood kills the man slayer, he shall not be guilty of blood,
28because he should have remained in his city of refuge until the death of the high priest. But after the death of the high priest, the man slayer shall return into the land of his possession.
29“‘These things shall be for a statute and ordinance to you throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
