Seeking Divine Understanding

"The brethren came to Abba Anthony and laid before him a passage from Leviticus. The old man went out into the desert, secretly followed by Abba Ammonas, who knew that this was Abba Anthony's custom. He went a long way off and stood there praying, crying in a loud voice, 'God, send Moses to make me understand this saying.' Then there came a voice speaking with him. Abba Ammonas said that although he heard the voice speaking with him, he could not understand what it said."
