Contextual Overview

¹ Then the Lord said to Joshua: ² "Tell the Israelites to choose the special cities of safety, as I had Moses command you to do. ³ If a person kills someone accidentally and without meaning to kill him, that person may go to a city of safety to hide. There the killer will be safe from the relative who has the duty of punishing a murderer. ⁴ "When the killer runs to one of those cities, he must stop at the entrance gate, stand there, and tell the leaders of the people what happened. Then that person will be allowed to enter the city and will be given a place to live among them. ⁵ But if the one who is chasing him follows him to that city, the leaders of the city must not hand over the killer. It was an accident. He did not hate him beforehand or kill him on purpose. ⁶ The killer must stay in the city until a court comes to a decision and until the high priest dies. Then he may go back home to the town from which he ran away."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And if the avenger of blood pursue after him,.... To the city of refuge, whither he is fled, and demand him:
