ULTAnd he shall dwell in that city until he stands before the face of the congregation for judgment, until the death of he who is the great priest in those days. Then the one who kills may return and enter into his city and into his house, into the city that he fled from.’ ”

USTThe person who killed someone else must stay in that city until the city judges put him on trial. Only if the judges decide that the person who has run to their city did not deliberately kill the other person will they allow him to stay in that city, and he must stay there until the high priest who was serving at the time of the offense dies. Then the man may safely go back to his own home.”

UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

לַ⁠מִּשְׁפָּ֔ט

for_the,trial

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of judgment, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “to judge his case” or “to decide whether he is actually guilty of murder”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

עַד עַד מוֹת֙ הַ⁠כֹּהֵ֣ן הַ⁠גָּד֔וֹל

until until (Some words not found in UHB: and,stay in/on/at/with,city the,that until stands,he to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before the,congregation for_the,trial until to_die the=priest/officer the,high which/who will_belong in_the=days the=those then return the,manslayer and,he_may_go to/towards city,his_own and=near/to home,his_own to/towards the=city which/who fled from=there )

Yahweh is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “and even if he is found innocent, he must still remain there until the death of the high priest”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

אֲשֶׁ֥ר יִהְיֶ֖ה בַּ⁠יָּמִ֣ים הָ⁠הֵ֑ם

which/who will_belong in_the=days the=those

Yahweh is using the expression in those days by association to mean serving as high priest at that time. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: “who is serving at that time”

Tribal Allotments of the Promised Land

After the Israelites had conquered portions of the Promised Land and Joshua had grown old, the Lord directed him to divide the rest of the land among the tribes of Israel as their inheritance (Joshua 13-20). The eastern tribes had already been allotted their land under Moses’ leadership (Numbers 32), but they continued to help the other tribes drive out the Canaanites from land west of the Jordan River. The Lord also instructed the Israelites to designate several cities of refuge, where someone could flee for protection from an avenger if they accidentally killed someone (Numbers 35; Joshua 20).
