Homilies on Exodus, Homilia V · §2

From Ramesse to Succoth

The children of Israel set out from Rameses and came to Succoth. Leave the world’s noisy “Rameses” and pitch Succoth’s tents — the life of sojourners who no longer settle in Egypt’s brickworks.

Latin

Elevantes filii Istrahel de Ramesse venerunt in Soccoth. Ramesses — tumultus tinearum / malitia saeculi; Soccoth — tabernacula. Exeuntes de tumultu ad peregrinationis tentoria tendimus.
