19. And whatever other miracles came after these: the Pillar of Cloud giving shadow by day, the Pillar of Fire giving light by night, and both of them leading the way; the Bread rained down in the wilderness; the Meat sent down from heaven----the former proportioned to their need, the latter even above their need; the Water from the Rock----the one gushing forth, the other rendered sweet; Amalek overcome in battle, and that too by the ineffable and mystical gesture of the hands;9 the Sun standing still and the Moon stayed, and Jordan cut in twain; and the walls shaken down by the walking round them of the priests and the sounding of trumpets, and by the number 10 that hath power; the Earth and the Fleece of Wool alternately wetted and unmoistened; Strength residing in the hair----a match for a whole army; the few chosen by Lapping of Water, and trusting to conquer, and conquering according to their trust, that small number those many thousands. What need is there for me to reckon up one by one everything that was done through Christ Himself during His saving presence and dwelling in the flesh? And all the miracles that have been wrought after Him and through Him, by His holy Apostles and ministers of the Word? How many books and monuments tell their history!
Ιθʹ. Τἄλλα τε, ὅσα τούτοις ἐπηκολούθησε, στύλος νεφέλης ἐπισκιάζων ἡμέρας, στύλος πυρὸς φωτίζων νυκτὸς, καὶ ὁδηγοῦντες ἀμφότεροι: ἄρτος ὑόμενος ἐν ἐρήμῳ, ὄψον ἐξ οὐρανοῦ πεμπόμενον: ὁ μὲν τῇ χρείᾳ σύμμετρος, τὸ δὲ καὶ ὑπὲρ τὴν χρείαν: ὕδωρ ἐκ πέτρας, τὸ μὲν ἐκδιδόμενον, τὸ δὲ γλυκαινόμενον: Ἀμαλὴκ εὐχῇ καταπολεμούμενος, καὶ χειρῶν ἀποῤῥήτῳ καὶ μυστικῷ σχήματι: ἥλιός τε ἱστάμενος, καὶ σελήνη κατεχομένη, καὶ Ἰορδάνης ἀνακοπτόμενος: τείχη κατασειόμενα ἱερέων περιόδῳ, καὶ σαλπίγγων ἤχῳ, καὶ ἀριθμῷ δύναμιν ἔχοντι: γῆ καὶ πόκος, ἐναλλὰξ ὑόμενά τε καὶ ἄβροχα διαμένοντα: δύναμις ἐν θριξὶ, στρατιᾶς ὅλης ἀντίῤῥοπος: λογάδες ὀλίγοι λάπτοντες, καὶ νικᾷν πιστευόμενοι, καὶ νικῶντες, κατὰ τὰς ἐλπίδας, ὁ βραχὺς ἀριθμὸς τὰς πλείονας χιλιάδας. Τί με δεῖ καταριθμεῖν ἕκαστα, ὅσα δι' αὐτοῦ Χριστοῦ κατὰ τὴν σωτήριον αὐτοῦ παρουσίαν καὶ σάρκωσιν, ὅσα μετ' ἐκεῖνόν τε καὶ δι' ἐκείνου τοῖς ἱεροῖς ἀποστόλοις αὐτοῦ, καὶ ὑπηρέταις τοῦ λόγου τεθαυματούργηται; Πόσαι ταῦτα καὶ βίβλοι καὶ μνῆμαι φέρουσι;
