Protection and judgment

5And if the avenger of blood pursues him, they shall not hand the manslayer over into his hand, because he struck his neighbor without intent and had not hated him before, from yesterday or the day before.

6And he shall live in that city until he stands before the congregation for judgment, until the death of the high priest who is in office in those days. Then the manslayer may return and come to his city and to his house, to the city from which he fled.
