[147] διὰ τοῦτο „πάνθ’ ὅσα ἂν εὔξηται χήρα καὶ ἐκβεβλημένη κατὰ τῆς ψυχῆς αὐτῆς“ φησὶν ὁ νομοθέτης μενεῖν αὐτῇ (Num. 30, 10)· τὸν μὲν γὰρ θεὸν ἄνδρα
καὶ πατέρα τῶν ὅλων σπορὰν καὶ γένεσιν ἁπάντων παρεχόμενον ἐνδίκως φήσομεν, διάνοιαν δὲ ἐκβεβλῆσθαι καὶ χήραν θεοῦ, ἥτις ἢ γονὰς θείας οὐ παρεδέξατο ἢ παραδεξαμένη ἑκουσίως αὖθις ἐξήμβλωσε.

On the Principle that the Worse is accustomed to be always plotting against the Better First1KGreek (The works of Philo Judaeus, the contemporary of Josephus, volume 1. Yonge, C. D., translator. London: Henry G. Bohn, 1854.) — 147 focus

[147] On this account the law-giver says, "Every word which a widow or a woman who is divorced vows against her own soul shall remain against it." ¹ For if we call God the husband and father of the universe, supplying the origin and generation of all things, we shall be speaking rightly: as we shall if we call that heart widowed and divorced from God which either has not received divine seed, or, after having received it, has again voluntarily made it abortive.
