Exegesis
The construct go’el hadam {גֹּאֵ֤ל הַדָּם֙ | gō’ēl ha·dām} ‘avenger of blood’ designates the kinsman with the right of pursuit.
In context — Joshua 20:5
If the avenger of blood pursues him, the elders must not hand over the slayer into his hands, because he struck his neighbor without knowledge and had not hated him previously.
