'So they set out after their disembarkation from the ship and its safety from drowning and usurpation. Until when they met a boy who had not yet reached puberty, and he was in the prime of his strength, he killed him when he encountered him - as indicated by the conjunction that follows the condition. Then he responded to the condition by saying, indicating that his beginning of denial in this matter is quicker: 'He said,' meaning Moses, peace be upon him: 'Did you kill a pure soul?' by virtue of it being upon the original nature without being defiled by a sin that necessitates killing 'without a soul' that killed it, so that your killing of it would be retribution; and this indicates that he was of age, until when he killed a victim, it was permissible to kill him by it, unless their law does not require maturity. Then he resumed his statement: 'Certainly you have come in your killing of her something' and he specified [the denial] in his saying: 'a great wrong' because it is direct. And the breach is a cause that does not necessarily lead to drowning.
