Mor Jacob (♱ ca. 521) is known by his followers as the flute of the Holy Spirit (sometimes even the Harp), second only in importance to St. Ephrem himself. From an early age, his prophetic voice and poetic splendor were recognized by ecclesiastical authorities. He spent the majority of his life preaching throughout the territory of Batnan, but was ordained Bishop of Serugh in 518. Jacob remains not only an important spiritual writer, but an important source for historians of anti-Chalcedonian theology. Of his approximately 700 works, only roughly half survive, some of which have yet to be edited and many of which have yet to be translated into modern languages.

Mor Jacob of Serugh

"And those of the sixth hour are those of the house of Abraham in the land of Aram: who turned back and put on righteousness like the first ones [...] They called Abraham from the midst of Aram to the land of Canaan, and they called Isaac to be a sacrifice on the mountains of Jebus."

Jacob of Serugh’s Homily on the Vineyard Laborers and the Land of Aram
