Nativity 7

The son of his voice, at the birth of the great Lamb, the great one, was in Bethlehem, where the watchers descended. They praised there the great Shepherd, the great one. Their voices were in that voice of praise. The silent ones came and praised the Lamb. The circle: Blessed is the Womb that bore Eve and Adam. Through it they were taught. The shepherds erred again and came. The blessings of the flock: sweet milk, pure flesh, fair praise. They divided and gave to Joseph flesh, to Mary milk, and to the Lamb praise. They erred, they approached him. The lamb said to the milk, "To the Paschal Lamb, the firstborn to the firstborn, sacrifice to sacrifice." The lamb said to the offering, "To the Paschal Lamb, the truth, a fair vision, that lamb was being offered to the Lamb." The lamb was acting, that when it was offered, before the firstborn, it confessed to the Lamb, that he came to free the sheep and the bulls from the sacrifices, and to the Paschal Lamb, that he brought and came, the Pasch of the Lamb. The shepherds approached and worshipped him, with their staffs they asked after his peace. When [he was being magnified], the great one [or the great one of the shepherds] completed, the staff of Moses confessed to your staff, O universal Shepherd. For to you Moses confesses, that they were his lambs and they were his sheep, like the weak and his flocks. The beast of the field, in the destruction of the strong, stripped his flock and sheared over him. To you, then, the shepherds confess, that you are the one who quiets the wolves and the lambs within the pasture. You are the Womb that ages from the womb and weans from the womb, that quiets all like a measure. David, your father, because of the Lamb, killed the lion. You are the killer.

O the son of David, the hidden father, who killed Adam, the chosen lamb, the arm and the shoulder in that Paradise. In that voice of praise, the brides were crowned, and the virgins were sanctified, and the maidens were adorned, and the youths were resplendent. The youths, the youths, bowed down and worshipped the Son. The elders of the city of David came; they saw the daughter of David, blessed her, and said: Blessed is the womb that bore the light of her streets, in the shoot of Jesse, the day the throne of David was established in you, son of David. The elders cried out: Blessed is the Just One who knows Adam, the farmer who saw that which grew old and decayed, and the serpent that killed him. He sent and hid himself. Blessed is the Just One who showed Eve and Adam, and they learned through him. He said: The branches, the blessed fruit. Bless your fruits that are given to you. Like firstborn lambs, he swelled and grew large over his children, who, when they are killed, are plucked for him like the firstfruits. He hovered over his planter, the barren women. He loved and said: The blessed fruit, without a spouse, bless the barren ones; from a spouse, show the barren woman. The wondrous child of virginity.
