Numbers 35:26-28

26But if the manslayer shall at any time go beyond the boundaries of his city of refuge to which he fled, 27and athe avenger of blood finds him outside the boundaries of his city of refuge, and the avenger of blood kills the manslayer, he shall not be guilty of blood. 28For he must remain in his city of refuge buntil the death of the high priest, but after the death of the high priest the manslayer may return to the land of his possession.

Joshua 20:6

6And he shall remain in that city cuntil he has stood before the congregation for judgment, until the death of him who is high priest at the time. Then the manslayer may return to his own town and his own home, to the town from which he fled.’”
