Homilies on Exodus, Homilia VII · §1

After the song comes Marah

After the sea and the victory songs comes Marah. The people thirst; the waters are bitter. There God set statutes and judgments. Training does not arrive without trial.

Latin

Post transitum maris et cantica venitur ad Merram. Sitivit populus; aquae amarae. Ibi posuit Deus iustitias et iudicia. Non sine tentatione disciplina.
