If however they doubted, she desired they would bring her the oldest ram from their flocks, and they should see the experiment. Medea cut up the ram, cast in certain herbs, and the old bell-wether came out as beautiful and innocent a he-lamb as was ever beheld. The daughters of Pelias were satisfied. They divided their father in pieces; but he was never restored either to health or life.
In every house a he-lamb was to be slain, and its blood to be sprinkled on the doorposts of the house. Then the Lord would pass over and not smite that house. The Hebrew word is pasach, to pass. The lamb slain was called the Paschal Lamb. But what was that lamb? This was the Lamb of God which was slain each year, and "Slain since the foundation of the world."
What exactly the author of the book meant by this passage has been much debated. It is clear that there is here a veiled allusion to the Zodiac that mysterious belt of constellations which runs like a river round the whole starry heavens, and rises in the constellation of the Ram or He-lamb but to debate that question now would be unprofitable, even were one fully competent to do so.
