Ex. xxv. 10, LXX. A.V. “shittim.” R.V.
“acacia.” St. Ambrose (de Spiritu
Sancto, ii. 9) seems, say the Benedictine Editors, to have here
misunderstood St. Basil’s argument. St. Basil is
accusing the Pneumatomachi not of tracing all things to God as the
material “of which,” but of unduly limiting the use of
the term “of which” to the Father alone.
