[100] παγκάλως οὖν καὶ ἀναγκαίως ἅμα ἐν εἴδει παραδιηγήματος, ἡνίκα τῆς οὐρανίου
καὶ θείας τροφῆς τὸ μνημεῖον ἐν στάμνῳ χρυσῷ καθιεροῦτο, φησὶν ὡς ἄρα „τὸ γομὸρ τὸ δέκατον τῶν τριῶν μέτρων ἦν“ (Exod. 16,36). ἐν ἡμῖν γὰρ αὐτοῖς τρία μέτρα εἶναι δοκεῖ, αἴσθησις, λόγος, νοῦς· αἰσθητῶν μὲν αἴσθησις, ὀνομάτων δὲ καὶ ῥημάτων καὶ τῶν λεγομένων ὁ λόγος, νοητῶν δὲ νοῦς.

[100] Very beautifully, therefore, and at the same time most unavoidably, does the sacred historian tell us in the fashion of an incidental narrative, when the memorial of that heavenly and divine food was consecrated in the golden urn, that "gomor was the tenth part of three measures." ¹For in us men there appear to be three measures, the outward senses, and speech, and mind. The outward sense being the measure of the objects of outward sense, speech being the measure of nouns and verbs, and of whatever is said; and the mind being the measure of those things which can only be perceived by the intellect.
