Genesis 49:4
Douay-Rheims
Thou art poured out as water, grow thou not: because thou wentest up to thy father’s bed, and didst defile his couch.
Hippolytus of Rome
First he mentions the event,-that in the last days the people will assault the bed of the Father, that is, the bride,9 the Church, with intent to corrupt her; which thing, indeed, it does even at this present day, assaulting her by blasphemies.
