Headword: Ὀζίας
Adler number: omicron,69
Translated headword: Osias, Uzziah
Vetting Status: low
Translation:
king of Israel.[1] This man was pious and being prosperous became overconfident and losing his good sense wanted to offer incense to God himself on his own behalf, which only the priests were permitted [to do]. And when he had offered incense in the Temple, immediately he became leprous.
For the leprosy rose on his forehead in the house of the Lord; and it[2] drew him down from there.
Greek Original:
Ὀζίας, βασιλεὺς Ἰσραήλ. οὗτος εὐσεβὴς ἦν καὶ εὐοδούμενος ἐπήρθη καὶ εἰς ἀπόνοιαν ἐλθὼν ἠθέλησε θυμιάσαι τῷ θεῷ αὐτὸς δι' ἑαυτοῦ, ὅπερ μόνοις ἐξῆν τοῖς ἱερεῦσι. καὶ θυμιάσας ἐν τῷ ναῷ εὐθὺς ἐλεπρώθη. ἐξανέτειλε γὰρ ἡ λέπρα ἐν τῷ μετώπῳ αὐτοῦ ἐν οἴκῳ κυρίου: καὶ κατέσπασεν αὐτὸν ἐκεῖθεν.
Notes:
For Uzziah see already omicron 68. After the opening phrase, the present entry follows George the Monk, Chronicon 220.6-10, 221.9-11; cf. 2 Chronicles 26 LXX.
[1] Of Judah, rather.
[2] Should be κατέσπασαν "they [the priests] drew him down."
