THEOSISJerome of Stridon
In sacred scripture, the term "utrii" signifies a future time. This is evidenced by Jacob’s declaration in the book of Genesis: ‘And my righteousness shall hear me in the morning’ (Gen. 30:33). Additionally, when the tribes of Reuben and Gad, along with half of the tribe of Manasseh, constructed the altar, an envoy was dispatched from all of Israel. Phinehas the high priest inquired about the purpose of this altar, to which they responded that it was built so that in the morning, their children would not turn away from the worship of God.
In the sacred scripture, the term "utrii" signifies a time yet to come. This is reflected in Jacob's words found in Genesis: "And my righteousness shall hear me in the morning" (Gen. 30:33). Additionally, when the tribes of Reuben and Gad, along with half of the tribe of Manasseh, constructed the altar, an envoy was dispatched from all of Israel. Phinehas, the high priest, inquired about the purpose behind the altar’s construction. The tribes responded that it was to prevent their children from being led away from God's worship in the morning (Hab. 22:21-23).
