Lest the avenger of the blood pursue the slayer, while his heart is hot, and overtake him, because the way is long, and slay him; whereas he was not worthy of death, inasmuch as he hated him not in time past.
μηποτε καταδιωξη τον φονεα ο εκδικητης του αιματος, ενω ειναι εις εξαψιν η καρδια αυτου, και προφθαση αυτον, εαν η οδος ηναι μακρα, και φονευση αυτον, καιτοι μη οντα αξιον θανατου, επειδη δεν εμισει αυτον προτερον.
