[7] 2 ὡς μὲν τοίνυν γῆν μὲν τὸ σῶμα, συγγένειαν δὲ τὴν αἴσθησιν, οἶκον δὲ πατρὸς τὸν λόγον αἰνίττεται, δεδηλώκαμεν.
τὸ δὲ „ἄπελθε ἐκ τούτων“ οὐκ ἔσθ’ ὅμοιον τῷ διαζεύχθητι κατὰ τὴν ¹ οὐσίαν, ἐπεὶ θάνατον ἦν διαγορεύοντος ἡ πρόσταξις, ἀλλ’ ἴσον τῷ τὴν γνώμην ἀλλοτριώθητι, πρὸς μηδενὸς περισχεθεὶς αὐτῶν ὑπεράνω στῆθι πάντων· ὑπήκοοί σού εἰσι, μηδέποτε ὡς ἡγεμόσι χρῶ·

That he means by Abraham’s country the body, and by his kindred the outward senses, and by his father’s house uttered speech, we have now shown. But the command, "Depart from them," is not like or equivalent to, Be separated from them according to your essence, since that would be the injunction of one who was pronouncing sentence of death. But it is the same as saying, Be alienated from them in your mind, allowing none of them to cling to you, standing above them all;
