[76] ὅτι δ’ ὁ ὑπεξελθὼν ἐξ ἡμῶν νοητῶν καὶ γλιχόμενος ὀπαδὸς εἶναι θεοῦ τοῦ φύσεως ἀοιδίμου πλούτου κληρονόμος ἐστί,
μαρτυρεῖ λέγων· „ἐξήγαγεν δὲ αὐτὸν ἔξω καὶ εἶπεν· ἀνάβλεψον εἰς τὸν οὐρανόν“ (Gen. 15,5), ἐπειδήπερ οὗτος ὁ τῶν θείων θησαυρὸς ἀγαθῶν — „ἀνοίξαι γάρ σοι“ φησί „κύριος τὸν θησαυρὸν αὐτοῦ τὸν ἀγαθόν, τὸν οὐρανόν“, (Deut. 28, 12), ἐξ οὗ δὴ τὰς τελεωτάτας εὐφροσύνας ὁ χορηγὸς ἀδιαστάτως ὕει —· „ἀνάβλεψον“ δὲ εἰς ἔλεγχον τοῦ τυφλοῦ τῶν
ἀγελαίων ἀνθρώπων γένους, ὃ βλέπειν δοκοῦν πεπήρωται.

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.) — 76 focus

[76] but he that goes out from us and desires to become an attendant of God, is the inheritor of the much celebrated wealth of nature; he bears witness, who says, "He brought him out, and said unto him, Look up to heaven;" ¹ since that is the treasury of the good things of God. "May the Lord," says he, "open to thee the treasury of his good things," ²—that is, the heaven; out of which he who furnishes the supply does incessantly rain the most perfect joys. Look up, then, so as to convict the blind race of common men, which, though it appears to see, is blind.
