“Because he should have remained in the city of his refuge until the death of the high priest: but after the death of the high priest the slayer shall return into the land of his possession.”
Because he should have remained in the city of his refuge until the death of the high priest: but after the death of the high priest the slayer shall return into the land of his possession — the manslayer is obligated to remain in the refuge-city for the full duration. However, after the high priest's death, the manslayer gains freedom to return home and reclaim his property. The high priest's death marks the end of the protective exile and the restoration of normal life.
