Fathers

Homilies on Leviticus, Homilia XIV · §1

The mixed-parentage son who blasphemes

The son of an Israelite woman and an Egyptian father cursed the Name. The story is open; the inner sense costs labor. A mixed heart breeds blasphemy.

Latin

Filii Israelitidis et Aegyptii qui nomen maledixit. Historia aperta; sensus interior laborat. Mixto corde blasphemia nascitur.
