Homilies on Leviticus, Homilia III · §7

A tenth of an ephah of flour

If not even birds, then fine flour without oil or frankincense, for it is a sin offering. Mourning, not festival. The harsh bread of penitence.

Latin

Si nec aves, similago absque oleo et ture — quia sacrificium peccati est. Luctus non festum. Panis asper paenitentiae.
