[56] 12 χρὴ μέντοι μηδ’ ἐκεῖνο ἀγνοεῖν, ὅτι τὸν μὲν πρῶτον ἄνθρωπον τὸν γηγενῆ πατέρα τῶν ἄχρι τοῦ κατακλυσμοῦ φύντων εἰσήγαγε, τὸν δὲ μόνον ἐκ τῆς τοσαύτης φθορᾶς ὑπολειφθέντα πανοίκιον ἕνεκα δικαιοσύνης καὶ τῆς ἄλλης καλοκἀγαθίας τοῦ νεάσοντος αὖθις καινοῦ γένους ἀνθρώπων, τὴν
δὲ περίσεμνον τριάδα καὶ περιμάχητον ἑνὸς εἴδους ἐπιλεγομένου „βασίλειον ¹ καὶ ἱεράτευμα καὶ ἔθνος ἅγιον“ (Exod. 19, 6) οἱ χρησμοὶ καλοῦσι. μηνύει δὲ τοὔνομα τὴν δύναμιν αὐτοῦ·

On the Life of the Wise Man made perfect by Instruction or, on the Unwritten Law, that is to say, on Abraham First1KGreek (The works of Philo Judaeus, the contemporary of Josephus, Volume 2. Yonge, C. D., translator. London: Henry G. Bohn, 1854.) — 56 focus

We must, however, not remain in ignorance that the sacred historian has represented the first man, him who was formed out of the earth as the father of all those who existed before the deluge; and him who, with his whole family, was the only person left out of so universal a destruction, because of his justice and his other excellencies and virtues, as the founder of the new race of men which was to flourish hereafter. And that venerable, and estimable, and glorious triad is comprehended by the sacred scriptures under one class, and called, "A royal priesthood, and a holy nation." ¹
