Els tractats de Filó sobre el Pentateuc: la Torà llegida al·legòricament, amb Abraham, Josep o Moisès entesos alhora com a personatges i com a figures de virtuts.
Context i història
Filó vivia a Alexandria al segle I i escrivia en grec: la seva feina és fer que la Bíblia i la filosofia grega diguin el mateix, i d'aquí surt el Logos com a intermediari entre Déu i el món.

Va influir molt en el pensament cristià primitiu i molt poc en el judaisme posterior.

But with regard to that which has not been created, there is no feeling of interest as if it were his own in the breast of him who has not created it.…
