The Life of Moses
by St Gregory of Nyssa
Book II
The Manna
In Exodus, the manna from Heaven prefigured the virgin birth, being reaped where it was not sown.
The Divine Tabernacle
The tabernacle made without hands is Christ.
Hair is a symbol of death. It has no feeling. It is not alive.
Everlasting Progress
Corruption is the dissolution of unity within complexity. As a simple being, God is incorruptible. His unity cannot decompose because He is not complex.
