II. From the Discourse of St. Hippolytus on the beginning of Isaiah. 1279 Under Egypt he meant the world, and under things made with hands its idolatry, and under the shaking its subversion and dissolution. 1280 And the Lord, the Word, he represented as upon a light cloud, referring to that most pure tabernacle, in which setting up His throne, our Lord Jesus Christ came into the world to shake error. 1279     [Theodoret, in his First Dialogue.] 1280     The text is evidently corrupt: Κύριον δὲ τὸν Λόγον, νεφέλην δὲ κούφην τὸ καθαρώτατον σκῆνος , etc. The reference must be to ch. xix. 1 .
