Canon
III.
Behold, did not Achar129
the son of Zara
transgress in the accursed
thing, and
trouble then lighted on all the
congregation of
Israel? And this one man was alone in his
sin; but he was not
alone in the
death that came by his
sin. And by us, too,
everything of a gainful
kind at this time, which is ours not in our own
rightful possession, but as property strictly belonging to others,
ought to be reckoned a thing
devoted. For that Achar indeed took
of the
spoil; and those men of the present time take also of the
spoil. But he took what belonged to enemies; while these now take
what belongs to brethren, and aggrandize themselves with fatal
gains.
