“And ye shall take no satisfaction for him that is fled to the city of his refuge, that he should come again to dwell in the land, until the death of the priest.”
And ye shall take no satisfaction for him that is fled to the city of his refuge, that he should come again to dwell in the land, before the death of the high priest — similarly, no ransom can permit the manslayer to leave the refuge-city before the high priest's death. The refuge-exile is mandatory; monetary payment cannot purchase early release.
