Until the day breaks, and the shadows flee away, I will go up to the mountain of myrrh, and to the hill of frankincense.

Until the day breathes: namely, the period of the New Testament about which the Apostle says in Romans 13:12 "The night is passed, and the day is at hand." Likewise, Luke 16:16 says, "The law and the prophets were until John," with whom the day of the New Testament dawned.
shadows flee: because in the New Testament the figures cease when the Truth comes, whose shadows in a certain sense they were. (Nicholas of Lyra)
