Wisdom of Solomon 18:23
“In what he says about the robe of the ephod, which the high priest wore, that it contains the whole world, and the great deeds of the ancestors engraved on the four rows of stones, and the magnificence of God in the crown which the high priest himself wore on his head, although these express the series of all virtues…”
23For when the dead were now fallen down by heaps one upon another, standing between, he stayed the wrath, and parted the way to the living.

21For then the blameless man made haste, and stood forth to defend them; and bringing the shield of his proper ministry, even prayer, and the propitiation of incense, set himself against the wrath, and so brought the calamity to an end, declaring that he was thy servant.
22So he overcame the destroyer, not with strength of body, nor force of arms, but with a word subdued him that punished, alleging the oaths and covenants made with the fathers.
— Wisdom of Solomon 18:23 —
24For in the long garment was the whole world, and in the four rows of the stones was the glory of the fathers graven, and thy Majesty upon the diadem of his head.
25Unto these the destroyer gave place, and was afraid of them: for it was enough that they only tasted of the wrath.
