Uriel leading John the Baptist, Index of Medieval Art |
The [arch]angel Uriel at 2 Esdras 4:34 RSV, Charlesworth (i.e. Metzger), & Stone (in Hermeneia). The former, or RSV, draws, for "yourself," upon the Syriac, Ethiopic, Arabic, and Armenian versions, not the Latin (i.e. IV Esr 4:34 Vulgate). For the editions relied upon by Metzger, see The Old Testament Pseudepigrapha, ed. Charlesworth, vol. 1 (1983), pp. 518-519. And for a helpful "Table of titles given to books associated with Ezra (and Nehemiah) in selected versions," see p. 516. Outside the Bible, ed. Feldman, Kugel, & Schiffman, vol. 2 (2013), p. 1615 (Hogan):
'Do not be in a greater hurry than the Most High. You, indeed, are in a hurry for yourself, but the Highest is in a hurry on behalf of many.'
