Jesus minister under the law
The Lord said to Jesus son of Nun, Moses’ minister: Moses my servant is dead. Now therefore arise, cross this Jordan, you and all this people, into the land that I give you. How was our Lord Jesus, Son of God, Moses’ minister? Because when the fullness of time had come, God sent his Son, made of a woman, made under the law — by being made under the law he was made Moses’ minister. God bids them cross into a land not given by Moses but that I give you. Moses dead, God gives the land to the people through Jesus — the land of which the Lord says: Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.
Latin
Et dixit Dominus ad Iesum filium Nave ministrum Moysi: Moyses famulus meus defunctus est. Nunc ergo exsurgens transi Iordanen tu et omnis populus in terram quam do vobis. Quomodo minister Moysi fuerit Dominus noster Iesus filius Dei? Quia cum venisset plenitudo temporum, misit Deus filium suum factum ex muliere, factum sub lege — per hoc quod factus est sub lege, Moysi minister effectus est. Dicit autem Deus ut transeant in terram non quam dedit Moyses sed quam ego do vobis. Moyseo mortuo Deus dat terram populo per Iesum — illam de qua: Beati mansueti, qui hereditate possidebunt terram.
