Правило 11 Василия Великого
Machine translation from the original · Show original
The one who involuntarily committed the murder was contentedly punished, being excommunicated for a period of eleven years. For it is clear that we must observe the Law of Moses for those who received wounds (Exodus 21:18-19), and who lay down on his bed from the wounds he received, but then walked again, with the help of a rod, should not be considered killed: if he did not get up after the wounds, but the one who beat him did not want to kill him: then he is, although he is a murderer, however, by intention, involuntary.
(Ap. 65; Ankyr. 23; Dvukr. 9; Basil the Great. 2, 8, 13, 54, 57; Gregory of Nyssa. 5).
In his 57th rule, Basil the Great subjects an unintentional, unwitting murderer to ten years of penance; here, in response to the question, Amphilochius answers that an involuntary murderer who has been excommunicated from Holy Communion for eleven years is even more likely to be awarded it.
