Homilies on Leviticus, Homilia IV · §1

The Lord who speaks is Spirit

The Lord spoke to Moses. The Lord is Spirit; God’s speech is read by the Speaker’s power, not by our thin capacity.

Latin

Dominus locutus est ad Moysen. Dominus spiritus est; sermo Dei non secundum incapaces sed secundum potentiam loquentis intelligendus.
