Dialogue with Trypho 37.4 · Sophia Scriptura

Greek text · Archambault 1:168

Μωσῆς καὶ Ἀαρὼν ἐν τοῖς ἱερεῦσιν αὐτοῦ, καὶ Σαμουὴλ ἐν τοῖς ἐπικαλουμένοις τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ· ἐπεκαλοῦντο, φησὶν ἡ γραφή, τὸν κύριον, καὶ αὐτὸς εἰσήκουεν αὐτῶν. Ἐν στύλῳ νεφέλης ἐλάλει πρὸς αὐτούς· ἐφύλασσον τὰ μαρτύρια αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὸ πρόσταγμα ὃ ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς. Κύριε ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν, σὺ ἐπήκουες αὐτῶν· ὁ θεός, σὺ εὐίλατος ἐγένου αὐτοῖς καὶ ἐκδικῶν ἐπὶ πάντα τὰ ἐπιτηδεύματα αὐτῶν. Ὑψοῦτε κύριον τὸν θεὸν ἡμῶν καὶ προσκυνεῖτε εἰς ὄρος ἅγιον αὐτοῦ, ὅτι ἅγιος κύριος ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν.

English · Claude translation

“‘Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among those who call on his name; they called,’ says the Scripture, ‘on the Lord, and he heard them. In a pillar of cloud he spoke to them; they kept his testimonies and the ordinance he gave them. O Lord our God, you heard them; O God, you were gracious to them, and took vengeance on all their deeds. Exalt the Lord our God, and worship at his holy mountain, for the Lord our God is holy.’”
