On the question why certain Names in the Holy Scriptures are changed

Philo of Alexandria · Parte 141

[141] [cap.25] We have now then explained what is meant by the words, "I will give unto thee." We must now explain the words, "out of her." Some now have understood them as meaning that which exists out of her, thinking that it has been most correctly decided by right reason that the soul never displays any peculiar beauty of its own, but only such as comes to it from without, in accordance with the greatness of the good will of God who showers his graces upon it. [98] [99] [100]
