The Testament of Levi Concerning the Priesthood and Arrogance
Unknown
18. And after their punishment shall have come
[Jer. xxxiii. 15.]
[Matt. ii. 2. Constant references to the Gospels proofs of text.]
An additional clause occurs here in Cd. Oxon., which generally has a tendency to omit; the copyist of Cd. Cam. having possibly looked on to the same initial words in the next clause: “And in His priesthood shall the Gentiles be multiplied in knowledge on the earth and shall be enlightened through the grace of the Lord; but Israel shall be minished in ignorance, and be darkened in sorrow.”
The reading of Cd. Oxon. here, ἀποστήσει, is to be preferred to Cd. Cam., στήσει. Grosseteste’s Latin version, in all probability made from the latter, has stare faciet. [See p. 7, note 1, supra.]
[Rev. ii. 7.]
[Luke x. 18, 19.]
