Wagons for extras; shoulders for Christ-types; law surplus vs Gospel holy

Cyril: …and a calf from each, and they brought opposite the tent. And the Lord said toward Moses, saying: Take from them, and they will be toward the liturgical works of the tent of the witness, and you will give them to the Levites, to each according to his liturgy. And Moses taking the wagons and the oxen, gave them to the Levites. And the two wagons and the four oxen he gave to the sons of Gershon according to their liturgies, and the four wagons and the eight oxen he gave to the sons of Merari according to their liturgies, through Ithamar son of Aaron the priest; and to the sons of Kohath he has not given, because they have the liturgies of the holy, upon shoulders they will lift.’ Do you hear how for some the custom is to lead and carry upon wagons, and for Kohathites alone, the sacred things unto shoulders?

Palladius: For the sake of what then?

Cyril: For somehow always in greater sweat is the outstanding and more sacred, and there follows it wholly and entirely the needing to labor, and beside this indeed, the enduring-suffering, and not in equal with the others, whoever should be both more holy, and somehow nearer rather to God. Or is what I say not true?

Palladius: Very much so.

Cyril: So then in such good-order the Levitical race was liturgizing. And I at least think the matter fills a type of a mystery.

Palladius: How then do you say?

Cyril: For the two peoples, Gershon and Merari, seem to under-hint the peoples in law, I mean Israel; and Kohathites at least, those sanctified in Christ through faith. For for some there was in care the sails of the court, the skins of the tent, the coverings and the pillars, both heads and bases, both pegs and stretchings-around, and as the sacred Writing says, ‘All the leftovers,’ (Numbers 7:4–9) through which the not-necessary of the liturgy is signaled. And those were emboldened to carry the Holy of holies, and the things through which Christ, not according to one manner, but rather many-ways and many-formedly is signaled, as ark, as table, and as golden lampstand, and golden censer. For being simple according to nature as God, he is known many-manneredly by the difference of the working. For agreedly living and energetic is the Word of the Father, and beside this life, and light, and smell of intelligible fragrance. So then as many as sit-near the commands through Moses have as liturgy the leftovers of the tent; for unhelpful is the law, unless it should be thought spiritually. And as many as have been emboldened for the Holy of holies are somehow wholly holy in Christ, leftover nothing, but as it were having Emmanuel himself as rider.

Palladius: You spoke well.

Cyril: And observe, if it seems good, also this.

Palladius: What then do you say?

Cyril: For those entrusted with the leftovers of the holy tent carry upon wagons. And Kohathites, the Holy of holies not upon wagons, not upon some other altogether, but having set upon the shoulders themselves were going (Galatians 3:24) (Hebrews 7:18).
