Fragmenta duo in Numeros

You shall take from it a contribution. Those called to be priests according to the law of Moses received tithes from the sons of Israel, as a portion and inheritance of God. And they themselves brought the tithe of the tithe to the chief and leader of the priesthood, that is, to Aaron; who has also been set as a type of Christ, ministering not in the first tabernacle which has its place, but in the inner and hidden one. Take the rod and gather the congregation. Observe that to establish faith, for a reminder of the wonder-working in Egypt, he refers to it, saying; Take the rod in your hand with which you struck the river. Ei mox; Christ is likened to a rock because of the unbreakable and unshakable.

Ἀφελεῖτε ὑμεῖς ἀπ' αὐτοῦ ἀφαίρεμα. Οἱ μὲν κατὰ νόμον τοῦ Μωσέως ἱερᾶσθαι κεκλημένοι, δεκάτας ἐδέχοντο παρὰ τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ, ὡς μερίδα καὶ κλῆρον Θεοῦ. Προσεκομίζοντο δὲ αὐτοὶ τὸ ἐπιδέκατον τῷ κατάρχοντι καὶ ἡγουμένῳ τῆς ἱερωσύνης, τουτέστι τῷ Ἀαρών· ὃς καὶ εἰς τύπον τέθειται τοῦ Χριστοῦ, οὐκ ἐν τῇ πρώτῃ σκηνῇ τῇ τὴν στάσιν ἐχούσῃ λειτουργῶν, ἀλλ' ἐν τῇ ἐσωτέρᾳ καὶ κεκρυμμένῃ. Λαβὲ τὴν ῥάβδον καὶ ἐκκλησίασον τὴν συναγωγήν. Ἐπιτήρησον ὅτι βεβαιῶν εἰς πίστιν, πρὸς ἀνάμνησιν τῆς ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ τερατουργίας ἀποφέρει λέγων· Λαβὲ τὴν ῥάβδον ἐν τῇ χειρί σου ἐν ᾗ ἐπάταξας τὸν ποταμόν. Ei mox· Πέτρᾳ παρεικάζεται Χριστὸς διὰ τὸ ἄθραυστον καὶ ἀκλόνητον.
