1 Clement 32.2 · Sophia Scriptura

Greek text · Lake, LCL 24:60–62

ἐξ αὐτοῦ γὰρ ἱερεῖς καὶ Λευῖται πάντες οἱ λειτουργοῦντες τῷ θυσιαστηρίῳ τοῦ θεοῦ· ἐξ αὐτοῦ ὁ κύριος Ἰησοῦς τὸ κατὰ σάρκα· ἐξ αὐτοῦ βασιλεῖς καὶ ἄρχοντες καὶ ἡγούμενοι κατὰ τὸν Ἰούδαν· τὰ δὲ λοιπὰ σκῆπτρα αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἐν μικρᾷ δόξῃ ὑπάρχουσιν, ὡς ἐπαγγειλαμένου τοῦ θεοῦ, ὅτι ἔσται τὸ σπέρμα σου ὡς οἱ ἀστέρες τοῦ οὐρανοῦ.

English · Claude translation

For from him came all the priests and Levites who serve at the altar of God; from him came the Lord Jesus according to the flesh; from him came kings and rulers and leaders in the line of Judah. And his other scepters are in no small glory, since God promised, “Your seed shall be as the stars of heaven.”
