Homilies on Exodus, Homilia VIII · §1

I am the Lord who brought you out of Egypt

I am the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt. Not only to the fathers — to you, if you leave the Egypt of the vices. This present age is Egypt in figure.

Latin

Ego sum Dominus Deus tuus qui eduxi te de terra Aegypti. Non solum patribus, sed tibi si exis de Aegypto vitiorum. Praesens saeculum Aegyptus figuraliter.
