the lifeblood of the poor who had not done anything wrong;

you did not catch them breaking into your homes.76

Yet, in spite of all these things you have done,77

Footnotes

  1. 76 The words “for example” are implicit and are supplied in the translation for clarification. This is only one example of why their death was not legitimate. Killing a thief caught in the act of breaking and entering into a person’s home was pardonable under the law of Moses, cf. Exod 22:2.
  2. 77 and read this line with 2:34. The makes little sense and the again erroneously reads the archaic second person feminine singular perfect as first person common singular. All the modern English versions and commentaries take this line with 2:35.
