Hinugasan niya sa tubig ang mga lamang-loob at ang mga binti, at sinunog ni Moises ang buong lalaking tupa sa ibabaw ng altar; ito ay handog na susunugin bilang kaaya-ayang samyo, handog na sinunog sa apoy para sa Walang-Hanggan, gaya ng iniutos ng Walang-Hanggan kay Moises.
On the Migration of Abraham
[67] The fool’s whole course through every moment of his journey depends on this pair, fierce spirit and desire; since he has got rid of mind, who is the charioteer and monitor. The man of the opposite character has exscinded fierce spirit and desire, and chosen as his patron and controlling guide the Divine Word. Even so Moses, best beloved of God, when offering the whole burnt sacrifices of the soul, will “wash out the belly” (Lev. 8:21), that is, will cleanse away desire in every shape, but “the breast from the ram of consecration he will take away” (Lev. 8:29). This means, we may be sure, the warlike spirit in its completeness; and the object of taking it away is that the better portion of the soul, the rational part, that is left, may exercise its truly free and noble impulses towards all things beautiful, with nothing pulling against it any longer and dragging it in another direction.
