Homilies on Exodus, Homilia IV · §5

The Spirit that filled Moses

Who is filled with the Spirit that filled Moses? Not every talkative tongue. The Spirit of wisdom and might drives God’s work against Egypt — that is, against the vices that enslave the soul.

Latin

Quis ille quem repleat Deus spiritu quo Moysen? Non omnis loquax propheta. Spiritus sapientiae et fortitudinis opus Dei agit adversus Aegyptum vitiorum.
