24. Also in the going forth of the children of Israel from Egypt
it is written, "And the Lord went before them, by day in a pillar
of cloud to lead them the way, and by night in a pillar of fire. He
took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by
night, from before the people." Who here, too, would doubt that
God appeared to the eyes of mortal men by the corporeal creature made
subject to Him, and not by His own substance? But it is not
similarly apparent whether the Father, or the Son, or the Holy
Spirit, or the Trinity itself, the one God. Nor is this
distinguished there either, in my judgment, where it is written,
"The glory of the Lord appeared in the cloud, and the Lord spake
unto Moses, saying, I have heard the murmurings of the children of
Israel," etc.
