Homilies on Leviticus, Homilia IX · §1

Moses received as prophet of future mysteries

We receive Moses as prophet; he wrote future figures. Who holds the letter alone does not know the prophet.

Latin

Nos Moysen prophetam recipimus; figuras futuras conscripsit. Qui litteram solam tenet, prophetam non agnoscit.
