All Commentaries on Ecclesiastes 3:2 Go To Ecclesiastes 3
Athanasius the Apostolic
AD 373
This is written in the Scriptures and is manifest to all. For although it be hidden and unknown to all, what period of time is allotted to each, and how it is allotted; yet every one knows this, that as there is a time for spring and for summer, and for autumn and for winter, so, as it is written, there is a time to die, and a time to live.
