Exegesis
The Hebrew text employs the vav consecutive sequence (veyashav {וְיָשַׁב | wə-yā-šaḇ} ‘and he shall dwell’; yashuv {יָשׁוּב | yā-šûwḇ} ‘he shall return’; uva {וּבָא | wū-ḇāʾ} ‘and he shall come’) to delineate a strict temporal and procedural order.

In context — Joshua 20:6
And he shall dwell in that city until he stands before the assembly for judgment, and until the death of the high priest who shall be in those days. Then the killer shall return to his city and to his house, to the city from which he fled.
