Homilies on Exodus, Homilia V · §1

How Gentiles should read the Law’s journey

Paul, teacher of the nations in faith and truth, handed the Gentile church a way to read books of Law once foreign to them. He gives patterns of understanding so we may watch for like things. Israel’s departure is the soul’s schooling as it leaves the Egypt of the passions.

Latin

Paulus doctor gentium tradidit ecclesiae quomodo libros legis advertere. Exempla intelligentiae dat, ut similia observemus. Profectio Istrahel — disciplina animae exeuntis de Aegypto vitiorum.
