... showers, out of which man was of yore first formed, out of which now Christ through the flesh has been born of a virgin; “and the tree,” he says, “hath brought his fruit,” —not that “tree” in paradise which yielded death to the protoplasts, but the “tree” of the passion of Christ, whence life, hanging, was by you not believed! For this “tree” in a mystery, it was of yore wherewith Moses sweetened the bitter water; whence the People, which was perishing of thirst in the desert, drank and revived;[Exodus 15:22-26] just as we do, who, drawn out from the calamities of the heathendom in which we were tarrying perishing with thirst (that is, deprived of the divine word), drinking, “by the faith which is on Him,” the baptismal water of the “tree” of the passion of ...

For says God by the prophet: “Testify those things to them; perhaps they will hear thy voice.” And again: “If perhaps they will hear, if perhaps they will submit.” Moses also says to the people: “ If hearing thou wilt hear the Lord God, and do that which is good and right in His eyes.”[Exodus 15:26] And again: “Hear, O Israel; the Lord our God is one Lord.” And our Lord is often recorded in the Gospel to have said: “He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.” And wise Solomon says: “My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and reject ...

As wood sweetens Marah so that seventy palm-trees are watered by its streams, so the cross makes the waters of the law lifegiving to the seventy who are Christ’s apostles.[Exodus 15:23-27] It is Abraham and Isaac who dig wells, the Philistines who try to prevent them. Beersheba too, the city of the oath, and [Gihon], the scene of Solomon’s coronation, derive their names from springs. It is beside a well that Eliezer finds Rebekah. ...
