SEV Biblia, Chapter 20:6
Y quedará en aquella ciudad hasta que parezca en juicio delante del ayuntamiento, hasta la muerte del sumo sacerdote que fuere en aquel tiempo; entonces el homicida tornará y vendrá a su ciudad y a su casa y a la ciudad de donde huyó.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 6. And he shall dwell in that city until he shall stand before the congregation for judgment , etc.] That is, until his cause was heard in the court of judicature in his own city, or in any other to which the avenger of blood should appeal: (see Numbers 35:24,25); who if they found him guilty of death, they put him to death; but if only guilty of accidental manslaughter, then they delivered him up to his city of refuge for safety, where he was to abide until the death of the high priest that shall be in those days ; (see Numbers 35:25); then shall the slayer return, and come unto his own city, and unto his own house, unto the city from whence he fled ; and live with his family in the enjoyment of his possessions and estates, honours, and privileges belonging to him, as before; (see Numbers 35:28).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-6 - When the Israelites were settled in their promised inheritance, the were reminded to set apart the cities of refuge, whose use and typica meaning have been explained, Nu 35; De 19. God's spiritual Israel have and shall have in Christ and heaven, not only rest to repose in, but refuge to secure themselves in. These cities were designed to typif the relief which the gospel provides for penitent sinners, and their protection from the curse of the law and the wrath of God, in our Lor Jesus, to whom believers flee for refuge, Heb 6:18.
