Πλὴν ἐν αἴματι ψυχῆς οὐ φάγεσθε· παὶ γὰρ το ώμέτερον αἶμα τῶν ψυχῶν ὑμῶν ἐκζητήσω. Ἐκ χειρὸς πάντων τῶν· θηρίων ἐκδητήσω αὐτό. Ἀπεμφαίνοντος (59) τοῦ ῥητοῦ, λεκτέον, ὅτι θηρία δυνάμεις ἀντικείμεναί εἰσι, τῷ ἀμμαρτάσουσαν τὴν ψυχὴν ἀποθνήσκιν, ἀφʼ ὦν τῆς χειρὸς ἐκζητηθήσεται ὁ θάνατος τοῦ ἡμαρτηκότος. Δυνατὸν δὲ καὶ ἐπὶ. τῶν κτηνῶν αὐτὸ ἐκλαβεῖν, ἀφʼ ὧν τὸν κερατιστὴν ταῦρον λιθοβολεῖσθαι προσέταξεν.
