*16.5 Makkos Daf 11 A (10 lines befor spreads)**Summary*_The possuk states “He shall flee to his sanctuary city, where he shall remain until the death of the kohen gadol”. Our mishna discusses this law._*Mishna:* The death of any _kohen gadol,_ whether he was *anointed* [up until the end of the first temple] or merely ‘a kohen of *many garments’* [during the second temple] or even an *ex-kohen gadol,* is cause for the murderer to leave his sanctuary city.*Rabbi Yehuda:* Even *a kohen who was anointed for war* is considered a _kohen gadol_ in this sense.Since the murderers were waiting for the _kohanim gedolim_ to die; *the mothers* of the _kohanim gedolim_ *would provide the murderers with food and clothing,* so that they’re comfortable and they don't pray for the _kohanim gedolim_ to die.*Gemara:* What is the source for these laws?*Rav Kahana: There are three pessukim* which refer to the death of the _kohen gadol_ in reference to the murderer; thus we learn that the death of all three _kohanim gedolim_ mentioned in the mishna are effective for the murderer’s freedom.There is also a fourth _possuk_ which mentions the death of the _kohen_ but not the _kohen gadol._ *Rabbi Yehuda* understands that this signifies a fourth type of _kohen gadol,_ but *the Chachomim argue; since _gadol_ is not mentioned* , it refers to one of the previous three.
