he shall not be guilty of blood.
Heb. no blood shall be tohim
Ex. 22:2• 2If a thief be found breaking up, and be smitten that he die, there shall no blood be shed for him. (Ex. 22:2)
;
Deut. 19:6,10• 6Lest the avenger of the blood pursue the slayer, while his heart is hot, and overtake him, because the way is long, and slay him; whereas he was not worthy of death, inasmuch as he hated him not in time past.
 10That innocent blood be not shed in thy land, which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and so blood be upon thee. (Deut. 19:6,10)
• If it would have been wild folly on the part of the slayer to linger or hesitate for a moment, until he found himself safely lodged in the city of refuge, it is surely still wilder folly, yea, the very height of madness, on the part of the sinner, to linger or hesitate in coming to Christ. The avenger might perhaps fail to lay hold on the slayer even though he were not in the city; but judgment must overtake the sinner out of Christ. (“Numbers 35” by C.H. Mackintosh)
• When this priesthood above, such as it now is, ends, Israel will return into their possession. If they did before, it would be to pass over the blood of Christ, as if the shedding of it were no matter, and the land would be defiled thereby. (“Numbers 34-36” by J.N. Darby)
