Ngunit kung hindi niya ito inabangan, kundi ang Diyos ang nagpangyari na mapasakamay niya ito, pagkakalooban kita ng isang lugar na matatakbuhan niya.
On Flight and Finding
[93] Another point to be called to mind, in addition to those which have been mentioned, is that the Tribe of Levi is that of ministers of the Tabernacle and priests, on whom rests the service of the Sanctuary, and those who commit unintentional homicide are also engaged in a service, since, as Moses tells us, “God delivers into their hands” (Exod. 21:13) for destruction those that have done deeds worthy of death. But, while the Levites were appointed for the exaltation of the good, these others were appointed for the chastisement of the guilty.
On the Birth of Abel and the Sacrifices Offered by him and by his Brother Cain
[133] To this Moses testifies in the words “he did it not of intention, but God delivered him into his hands” (Exod. 21:13). The slayer’s hands we see were used as instruments, but He who worked invisibly by these was another, even the Invisible One. It is well then that the two should dwell together who are the ministers of the two forms of law-giving, the Levite serving that which bestows reward, the involuntary slayer that which executes vengeance.
