“And the congregation shall deliver the slayer out of the hand of the revenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore him to the city of his refuge, whither he was fled: and he shall abide in it unto the death of the high priest, which was anointed with the holy oil.”
Numbers 35:25 (KJV)
Commentary on Numbers 35:25
The manslayer must remain in the refuge city 'until the death of the high priest'—only then could he return home safely. The high priest's death somehow satisfied justice, ending the blood guilt. This typology points powerfully to Christ: His death as our High Priest releases us permanently from guilt, providing complete freedom. Our refuge doesn't restrict but liberates.
