On Genesis
Hippolytus
III.
Isaac conveys a figure of God the Father; Rebecca
Jerome introduces this citation from the Commentary of Hippolytus on Genesis in these terms: “Since, then, we promised to add what that (concerning Isaac and Rebecca, Gen. xxvii.) signifies figuratively, we may adduce the words of the martyr Hippolytus, with whom our Victorinus very much agrees: not that he has made out everything quite fully, but that he may give the reader the means for a broader understanding of the passage.”
Gen. xxv. 23.
Gen. xxvii. 9.
Gen. xxvii. 20.
Gen. xxvii. 41.
