“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:”
And the avenger of blood find him without the borders of the city of his refuge, and the avenger of blood kill the slayer; he shall not be guilty of blood — if the avenger encounters the manslayer outside the refuge-city boundaries, the avenger may legally kill the manslayer without incurring blood-guilt. The refuge-city is the exclusive zone of protection; once the manslayer leaves, the old law of blood-vengeance resumes.
