Homilies on Ezekiel, Homilia IX · §1

Amorite father, Hittite mother — one and many

Your origin is from Canaan; your father an Amorite, your mother a Hittite. Later the address multiplies — — because spreading sin makes many sinners in one.

Latin

Radix et generatio de terra Chanaan, pater Amorrhaeus, mater Chettaea. Ibi sermo ad unam; hic mater vestra et pater vester — ad plurimas. Diffuso peccato in uno sunt plurimi.
