ℹ️ This corpus has no morphological tagging. Glosses are matched by word form against a dictionary — a match does not prove it is the same word (an inflected form can coincide with another word’s lemma). Verify against the original and a specialist lexicon where precision matters.
ℹ️ The Chinese and English alongside are this site's own translation, made directly from the original text on this page (not the CUV or the WEB, which follow the Masoretic Text and a different textual tradition).
The divine word says in a certain place: In the days of your solemnities afflict your souls (Lev. 16:29; 23:27). Why did it say this? Because fasts and vigils and holy afflictions waste away the lowly [or: humbled] body, but purify defiled hearts, and so forth. See these homilies in volume L of the Patrology, among the Works of St. Eucherius, to whom they are also ascribed, columns 844, 848, 855, 857.
