2 Esdras 2:39-41

Common English Bible

³⁹ those who have transferred themselves from the shadow of this world and received bright garments from the Lord.

⁴⁰ Welcome your full number, Mount Zion. Receive the full tally of your white-robed people who serve you in obedience, because they have fulfilled the Lord’s Law. ⁴¹ Since you have long wished for your children to come, fill up their number. Ask the Lord’s sovereign power that your people may be honored as holy, since they were called from the beginning.
