But after the death of the high priest, the man slayer shall return into the land of his possession. 29 “‘These things shall be for a statute and ordinance to you throughout your generations in all your dwellings. 30 “‘Whoever kills any person, the murderer shall be slain based on the testimony of witnesses; but one witness shall not testify alone against any person so that he dies. 31 “‘Moreover you shall take no ransom for the life of a murderer who is guilty of death.
