False oath = uncleanness; confession + Christ; dove/turtle-dove types

Cyril: …of the sin which he sinned, a female from the sheep, a ewe-lamb or a she-goat from goats about sin, and the priest will propitiate about him about his sin, which he sinned, and the sin will be forgiven for him.’ (Leviticus 5:6) So then observe that the one hearing a voice of adjuration, and having made the matter altogether as nothing, and the one liable to other defilements, and indeed upon this, the one having been condemned upon false-swearing, he sets in an equal and unchanged manner of faulting; for a defilement truly extraordinary, and somehow unto the last itself of the evils it springs-up, the contempt unto God, and near and brother to the fleshly uncleannesses the faulting, or must one not set in equal word the accursed false-swearing and contempt of adjuration?

Palladius: Very much so; for somehow equal-matched always upon both are the charges.

Cyril: So then there will follow also for these the release through confession-out and indeed also of a ewe-lamb, or slaughter of a sheep; ‘For say you your lawlessnesses first,’ he says, ‘in order that you may be justified.’ (Isaiah 43:26) And indeed also the divine David sounds-up: ‘I said: I will confess-out against myself my lawlessness to the Lord, and you forgave the impiety of my heart.’ (Psalm 32:5) Yet, it is not enough unto the perfect washing-off to confess-out alone, but the death of Christ releases altogether, having suffered over us, and bringing himself under for the sins of all of us as in every form of the tame animals; in a calf I say, and indeed also in a sheep and a goat. And making as it were without-excuse the slack unto sacrifice, for those in defilements and uncleannesses, if someone should not have a calf and a sheep, he persuades to honor with the things according to hand and in strength, saying: ‘And if his hand should not be strong the sufficient unto the sheep, he will bring about his sin, which he sinned, two turtle-doves, or two young of doves to Lord, one about sin, and one unto a whole-burnt-offering, and he will bring them toward the priest, and the priest will bring-forward the about the sin first, and the priest will pinch-off his head from the vertebra, and will not divide, and will sprinkle from the blood of the about the sin, upon the wall of the altar. And the leftover of the blood he will drain-down upon the base of the altar. For it is of sin, and the second he will make a whole-burnt-offering as is fitting; and the priest will propitiate about him about the sin, which he sinned, and it will be forgiven for him.’ (Leviticus 5:7-10) So then to a turtle-dove and to a dove one must liken very well our Lord Jesus the Christ, because the one on the one hand is most-well-voiced and most-talkative among little-birds, and the other because especially it has arrived unto an extremity of meekness. And both were in Christ. For every inhabited-world he charmed-down with the evangelical preachings, a turtle-dove the from above and from heaven, sending-in as it were a clear song, and clarifying the will of the God and Father. For as the all-divine John says, ‘Whom God sent, the words of God he speaks.’ (John 3:34) And he was calling also us toward imitation of the meekness and gentleness being-in him, saying thus: ‘Take my yoke’ (Matthew 11:29)
