Background on Theodoret of Cyrus

In his own words on Leviticus

  • Leviticus 16:8

    I will however mention the sacrifice in which two goats were offered, the one being slain and the other let go. In these two goats there is an anticipative image of the two natures of the Savior; in the one let go, of the impassible Godhead, in the one slain, of the passible manhood.
