Numbers 35:28 in Context — Numbers 35
26 Y si el homicida saliere fuera del término de su ciudad de refugio, á la cual se acogió,
27 Y el pariente del muerto le hallare fuera del término de la ciudad de su acogida, y el pariente del muerto al homicida matare, no se le culpará [por ello]:
28 Pues en su ciudad de refugio deberá [aquél] habitar hasta que muera el gran sacerdote: y después que muriere el gran sacerdote, el homicida volverá á la tierra de su posesión.
29 Y estas cosas os serán por ordenanza de derecho por vuestras edades, en todas vuestras habitaciones.
30 Cualquiera que hiriere á alguno, por dicho de testigos, morirá el homicida: mas un solo testigo no hará fe contra alguna persona para que muera.
