Also that Moses, as was the case with the law, should cease to be, but that Joshua (\u1fbd\u0399\u03b7\u03c3\u03bf\u1fe6\u03bd), as the word, and no untrue type of the Word made p. 572 flesh (\u1f10\u03bd\u03c5\u03c0\u03bf\u03c3\u03c4\u03ac\u03c4\u03bf\u03c5), should be a preacher to the people. Then again, [it was fit] that Moses should give manna as food to the fathers, but Joshua wheat; 4827 as the first-fruits of life, a type of the body of Christ, as also the Scripture declares that the manna of the Lord ceased when the people had eaten wheat from the land. 4828\nHarvey conceives the reading here (which is doubtful) to have been \u03c4\u1f78\u03bd \u03bd\u03ad\u03bf\u03bd \u03c3\u1fd6\u03c4\u03bf\u03bd, the new wheat; and sees an allusion to the wave-sheaf of the new corn offered in the temple on the morning of our Lord\u2019s resurrection.\n572:4828","title":"Ante-Nicene Fathers, Vol I: IREN\u00c6US: XIX.","type":"page"}
