Dialogue with Trypho 83.3 · Sophia Scriptura

Summary: None of this fits Hezekiah.

Greek text · Archambault 2:48

Ὅτι οὖν Ἐζεκίας οὐκ ἔστιν ἱερεὺς εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα κατὰ τὴν τάξιν Μελχισεδέκ, τίς οὐχ ὁμολογεῖ; Καὶ ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ὁ λυτρούμενος τὴν Ἱερουσαλήμ, τίς οὐκ ἐπίσταται; Καὶ ὅτι ῥάβδον δυνάμεως αὐτὸς οὐκ ἀπέστειλεν εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ καὶ κατεκυρίευσεν ἐν μέσῳ τῶν ἐχθρῶν αὐτοῦ, ἀλλʼ ὁ θεὸς ἦν ὁ ἀποστρέψας ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ κλαίοντος καὶ ὀδυρομένου τοὺς πολεμίους, τίς οὐ γινώσκει;

English · Claude translation

“Who does not admit, then, that Hezekiah is not a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek? And who does not know that he is not the redeemer of Jerusalem? And who does not know that he himself did not send a rod of power into Jerusalem and rule in the midst of his enemies, but that it was God who turned the enemies away from him as he wept and lamented?
