And the revenger of blood find him without the borders of the city of his refuge, and the revenger of blood kill the slayer; he shall not be guilty of blood:

Verse 27 is found in chapter 35 of Numbers. The final laws distinguish more precisely between accidental killing and intentional murder. Human life has such value that the shedding of blood defiles the land, and shed blood must not remain without judicial response. The passage connects justice, territorial holiness, and divine presence: the land where God dwells must not be treated as indifferent to crime.

und der Bluträcher findet ihn außerhalb der Grenze seiner Freistadt und schlägt ihn tot, so soll er des Bluts nicht schuldig sein.
Y el pariente del muerto le hayare fuera del término de la ciudad de su acogida, y el pariente del muerto al homicida matare, no se le culpará por ello:
et si le vengeur du sang le rencontre hors du territoire de la ville de refuge et qu'il tue le meurtrier, il ne sera point coupable de meurtre.
e colui che ha la ragione di vendicare il sangue, trovandolo fuor de’ confini della città del suo rifugio, l’uccide; egli non è colpevole d’omicidio.
E o vingador do sangue o achar fora dos limites da cidade de seu refúgio, e o matar, não será culpado do sangue.
報血仇者在逃城邊界外遇見他,把兇手殺了,報血仇者就沒有流人血之罪。
