42 φυγεῖν ἐκεῖ τὸν φονευτήν ὃς ἂν φονεύσῃ τὸν πλησίον οὐκ εἰδὼς καὶ οὗτος οὐ μισῶν αὐτὸν πρὸ τῆς ἐχθὲς καὶ τρίτης καὶ καταφεύξεται εἰς μίαν τῶν πόλεων τούτων καὶ ζήσεται


Commentary on this verse  

By Alexander Payne

Verse 42. That when the soul through error has destroyed anything of spiritual life, it may take refuge in them and be blameless if the destruction of what is spiritual takes place from ignorance and not from premeditated evil in the heart; and that by embracing these doctrines his spiritual life might be preserved.
