Odes of Solomon

Nuhra2021 Ode 19

Ode 19 Those Who Receive Are of the Right Hand of God 1 A cup of milk was offered to me, and I drank it with the sweet taste of the Lord’s sweetness. 2 The son is the cup, and he who was milked is the Father, and she who milked him is the holy spirit, 3 because his breasts were full. And because it was unfitting that his milk should be released in vain, 4 the holy spirit opened her womb and mixed the milk of the Father’s two breasts. 5 And she gave the mixture to the age, without their knowing, and those who receive it in its fullness are of (God’s) right hand. 6 The young woman’s womb (like a bird net) caught it, and she received conception and gave birth. 7 And the young woman became a mother through abundant mercies, and she was in labor and bore a son. And she felt no pain, 8 because (the labor) was not in vain. 9 And she did not need a midwife because like a strong man he sustained her life. 10 <And> she brought forth because of will, and she brought forth because of declaration, and she acquired because of abundant majesty, 11 and loved because of redemption, and guarded because of kindness, and declared because of grandeur. Hallelujah!
