Homilies on Numbers, Homilia XII · §3

Coming into Jeshurun / power over the enemy

If we come into Jeshurun — that is, if we keep the Lord’s commands — God will crush Satan under your feet, and we receive power to tread on serpents and scorpions. To whom be glory and dominion forever. Amen.

Latin

Si venerimus in Issachar — id est si mandata Domini servemus — Deus conteret Satanam sub pedibus, et dabitur potestas calcandi serpentes et scorpiones. Cui gloria et imperium in saecula. Amen.
