Homilies on Exodus, Homilia XIII · §3

Women’s offerings and skilled work

Wise women spun; the leaders offered stones. Both sexes minister in the tabernacle. No one is idle in the church.

Latin

Mulieres sapientes nerebant; principes obtulerunt lapides. Utriusque sexus ministeria in tabernaculo. Nullus otiosus in ecclesia.
