Holy Scripture

Job 39:28

A church father on this verse
“She abideth in the rocks. And she dwelleth in the abrupt flints, and in the inaccessible rocks. 97. In Holy Scripture, when a 'rock' is mentioned in the singular number, who else is understood but Christ? As Paul witnesses, who says, But the rock was Christ. [1 Cor. 10, 4] But when 'rocks' are spoken of, in the plural…”
Gregory the Dialogist, 7th c. — Morals on the Book of Job, Book XXXI
