[199] τὴν δὲ τούτων ἐμμελῆ σύνθεσίν τε καὶ κρᾶσιν τὸ πρεσβύτατον καὶ τελειότατον ἔργον ἅγιον ὡς ἀληθῶς εἶναι συμβέβηκε, τὸν κόσμον, ὃν διὰ συμβόλου τοῦ θυμιάματος οἴεται δεῖν εὐχαριστεῖν τῷ πεποιηκότι, ἵνα
λόγῳ μὲν ἡ μυρεψικῇ τέχνῃ κατασκευασθεῖσα σύνθεσις ἐκθυμιᾶται, ἔργῳ δὲ ὁ θείᾳ σοφίᾳ δημιουργηθεὶς κόσμος ἅπας ἀναφέρηται πρωὶ καὶ δειλινῆς ὁλοκαυτούμενος.

On the question, Who is the Heir of Divine Things First1KGreek (The works of Philo Judaeus, the contemporary of Josephus, volume 2. Yonge, C. D., translator. London: Henry G. Bohn, 1854.) — 199 focus

[199] And the harmonious composition and mixture of these things is truly his most ancient and most perfect holy work, ¹² namely, the world; which, speaking of it under the emblem of perfume, he thinks is bound to show gratitude to its Creator. So that in name the composition which has been carefully fabricated by the art of the apothecary may be offered up, but in real fact the whole world which was created by divine wisdom may be consecrated and dedicated, being made a burnt offering of early in the morning and also in the evening.
