Pseudo-Cyril, on Num 9:11

Num 9:11 · Douay-Rheims
“In the second month, on the fourteenth day of the month in the evening, they shall eat it with unleavened bread and wild lettuce:”
On this verse:
“Those who also lived farther off or had been unclean in soul were commanded to celebrate the pasch in the second month. This is understood as a type of the holy church, which, since it has been defiled by all demons, was seen to be unclean in soul, but cleansed by a saving confession, is commanded to pass over unto a second birth, as if to a second month. However, before the month of new fruits is the last old month, in which it is completely forbidden that the true pasch be held.”
