Ben Sira 49:15 In-Context

13 The memory of Nehemiah also is lasting; he raised our fallen walls, and set up gates and bars, and rebuilt our ruined houses.

14 Few have ever been created on earth like Enoch, for he was taken up from the earth.

15 Nor was anyone ever born like Joseph; even his bones were cared for.

16 Shem and Seth and Enosh were honored, but above every other created living being was Adam.
