τοιγάρτοι καὶ θεοπρόπος Μωυσῆς διὰ τῆς τῶν κατὰ τὸν νεὼν δημιουργίας ἱερῶν τὴν ἐν ἀμφοτέροις τελειότητα διαδείξει· οὐ γὰρ ἀπερισκέπτως ἡμῖν τὴν κιβωτὸν ἔνδοθέν τε καὶ ἔξωθεν χρυσῷ περιαμπίσχει (Exod. 25, 10), οὐδὲ στολὰς τῷ ἀρχιερεῖ διττὰς ἀναδίδωσιν (Exod. 28, 4), οὐδὲ βωμοὺς δύο, τὸν μὲν ἔξω πρὸς τὰ ἱερεῖα, τὸν δὲ πρὸς τὸ ἐπιθυμιᾶν ἔνδον δημιουργεῖ (Exod. 27,1. 30, 1), ἀλλὰ βουλόμενος διὰ συμβόλων τούτων τὰς καθ’ ἑκάτερον εἶδος ἀρετὰς παραστῆσαι.
