כִּ֣י בְעִ֤יר מִקְלָטוֹ֙ יֵשֵׁ֔ב עַד־מ֖וֹת הַכֹּהֵ֣ן הַגָּדֹ֑ל וְאַחֲרֵ֥י מוֹת֙ הַכֹּהֵ֣ן הַגָּדֹ֔ל יָשׁוּב֙ הָרֹצֵ֔חַ אֶל־אֶ֖רֶץ אֲחֻזָּתֽוֹ׃
因為殺人者必須住在他的避難城裡，直到大祭司去世；大祭司去世以後，殺人者才可以回到他的產業之地。
Sefer HaChinukh
The commandment on the court to send one who smites a soul inadvertently from his city to the cities of refuge and upon the killer himself to go there: That the courts of Israel were commanded to send one who smites a soul inadvertently from his city and restore him in the cities of refuge, as it is stated (Numbers 35:25), “and the community shall restore him to his city of refuge, etc. and there he shall remain until the death of the high priest.” And also the smiter, he too, is included in this positive commandment, as it is stated about him (Numbers 35:28), “For he shall dwell in his city of refuge until the death of the high priest.”
