6 For blodhevneren kunde ellers i sin brennende vrede forfølge manndraperen og, hvis veien var for lang, nå ham igjen og slå ham ihjel, skjønt han ikke var skyldig til døden, fordi han ikke hadde båret hat til ham i forveien.


Commentary on this verse  

By Alexander Payne

Verse 6. Lest the punishment of destroying the influx of good and truth from the Lord should follow such a one for the destruction of charity while his will is imbued with the evil proceeding from false doctrine, and come upon him so as to destroy his spiritual life, because he is far removed from real truth; whereas his interior will is not in a state of condemnation, inasmuch as the destruction of charity does not proceed from a heart averse to all good and truth (but from mistaken tenets).
