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.

Stay in the city of refuge until the death of the high priest.

No, stay under cover of his wings until that storm is over, keep on fighting through prayer etc until the battle is won… Do not tire, so not give in on the fight and night prayers etc

Until you have the absolute victory ✌️ https://bible.com/bible/1/num.35.28.KJV

NOTE 2

There are many permutation in this matter.

Imaging fleeing to the city of refuge just a day or week after a new young high priest was installed.

You will likely die in the city 🏙 of refuge and never be able to return to your property without risk of harm.

Mir then who knows the avenger of blood might be dead or might have forgiven 🙏 you.

Or you could send a delegation of peace to him.

Conversely what if right after fleeing the high priest dies?

Then God has smiled ☺ on you. You can return home 🏡 safely. Or out of wisdom just stay out of site so you do not trigger memories of the pain on the bereaved family 👪. https://bible.com/bible/1/num.35.28.KJV

NOTE 3

Edit:

the previous point, even if a long time has passed and the avenger of blood has forgiven, you cannot return to your possessions again until the death of the high priest…

Randoms and appeasement are not accepted even for innocently killing someone.

This is in verse…‭‭Numbers‬ ‭35:32‭-‬33‬ ‭KJV‬‬
[32] And ye shall take no satisfaction for him that is fled to the city of his refuge, that he should come again to dwell in the land, until the death of the priest. [33] So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye are: for blood it defileth the land: and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it. https://bible.com/bible/1/num.35.32.KJV

For the lord says there is a law that blood shed in a land can only be appeased by the blood of the one who shed it whether intentionally or not.
