Greek text · Archambault 1:268

Κἀγώ· Ὑπὸ Μωσέως, ὦ ἀδελφοί, πάλιν γέγραπται, ἔλεγον, ὅτι οὗτος ὁ ὀφθεὶς τοῖς πατριάρχαις λεγόμενος θεὸς καὶ ἄγγελος καὶ κύριος λέγεται, ἵνα καὶ ἐκ τούτων ἐπιγνῶτε αὐτὸν ὑπηρετοῦντα τῷ τῶν ὅλων πατρί, ὡς ἤδη συνέθεσθε, καὶ διὰ πλειόνων πεπεισμένοι βεβαίως μενεῖτε.

English · Claude translation

And I said, “It is written again by Moses, brothers, that this one who appeared to the patriarchs, called God, is also called Angel and Lord, so that from these things too you may recognize him as serving the Father of all, as you have already agreed, and, persuaded by more passages, may remain firm.
