Fathers

Homilies on Judges, Homilia IX · §1

The people too many

A huge host against Israel; the Lord: The people with you are too many; I will not give Midian into their hand, lest Israel boast. Whoever does not hate father and mother — Christ’s militia renounces.

Latin

Ingens multitudo adversum Israel; Dominus: Multus est populus tecum; non tradam Madian — ne glorietur Israel. Qui non oderit patrem — militia Christi abrenuntiat.
