The voice of my beloved! behold, he comes leaping upon the mountains, skipping upon the hills.
All Commentaries on Song of Songs 2:8 Go To Song of Songs 2
Gregory of Nyssa
AD 394
The voice of the bridegroom was heard when God spoke through the prophets. After the voice the Word came leaping over the mountains that stood in his way, and by bounding over the hills, he made every rebellious power subject to himself, both the inferior powers and those that are greater. The distinction between mountains and hills signifies that both the superior adversary and the inferior one are trampled and destroyed by the same power and authority. The lion and the dragon, superior beasts, are trampled; so too are the serpent and the scorpion, which are inferior.
