two goats
in the texts
Adversus Judaeos
The paired goats of the Levitical fast-day ritual, interpreted as figures of Christ's two comings.
For thus I will give the interpretation of the two goats too, which were offered at the fast.
Adversus Marcionem
The two sacrificial goats of the Day of Atonement ritual, read as figures of Christ's twofold coming.
For if I should also expound the two goats that were offered at the fast, do not these too figure the twofold order of Christ?
