Êxodo 19

Origen of Alexandria · Comentário Patrístico (catena)

Êxodo 19:16

The third day, however, is always applied to mysteries. For when the people had departed from Egypt, they offer sacrifice to God on the third day and are purified on the third day. And the third day is the day of the Lord's resurrection. Many other mysteries also are anticipated in this day. — HOMILIES ON GENESIS 8:4

Êxodo 19:19

But when she [the bride] has become worthy to have it said of her, as also it was said of Moses, that "Moses spoke, and God answered him," then there is fulfilled in her that which he says: "Make me to hear your voice." It is indeed high praise of her that is disclosed in that saying, "Sweet is your voice." For thus also said the most wise prophet David: "Let my speech be sweet to him." And the voice of the soul is sweet when it utters the word of God, when it expounds the faith and the doctrines of the truth, when it unfolds God's dealings and his judgments. — COMMENTARY ON THE SONG OF SONGS 3.15
