378. Verse 11. And now cursed art thou from the ground, which hath opened its mouth to receive thy brother’s bloods from thy hand. “Cursed art thou from the ground” signifies that through the schism he had become averted; “which hath opened its mouth” signifies that the heresy taught them; to “receive thy brother’s bloods from thy hand” signifies that it did violence to charity, and extinguished it.
