Because he had been ordered to keep inside the safe town till the death of the high priest: but after the death of the high priest the taker of life may come back to the place of his heritage.

διοτι επρεπε να μενη εν τη πολει του καταφυγιου αυτου μεχρι του θανατου του μεγαλου ιερεως· μετα δε τον θανατον του μεγαλου ιερεως, ο φονευς θελει επιστρεφει εις την γην της ιδιοκτησιας αυτου.

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.
