Gregory of Elvira, on Song 2:8
Gregory of Elvira · c. A.D. 392
Song 2:8 · Douay-Rheims
“The voice of my beloved, behold he cometh leaping upon the mountains, skipping over the hills.”
On this verse:
“The mountains are patriarchs, vast with holiness, robust in faith, founded upon a mass of charity, but the hills are prophets, established for seeing. He is said therefore to be raised higher than every mountain, or patriarch, and to leap over every hill, or prophet, because he is Lord over all, with all things being put under his feet.”
