23
(as it is written in the law of [the] Lord: Every male that opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord),

28

29
Lord, now thou lettest thy bondman go, according to thy word, in peace;
30
for mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
31
which thou hast prepared before the face of all peoples;
32
a light for revelation of [the] Gentiles and [the] glory of thy people Israel.
