2 Esdras 5:45 Context
43So I answered and said, Couldst thou not make those that haue beene made, and be now, and that are for to come, at once, that thou mightest shewe thy iudgement the sooner? 44Then answered he me, and said, The creature may not hast aboue the maker, neither may the world hold them at once that shalbe created therin. 45And I said, As thou hast said vnto thy seruant, that thou which giuest life to all, hast giuen life at once to the creature that thou hast created, and the creature bare it: euen so it might now also beare them that now be present at once. 46And he said vnto me, Aske the wombe of a woman, & say vnto her, If thou bringest forth children, why doest thou it not together, but one after another? pray her therefore to bring forth tenne children at once. 47And I said, She cannot: but must doe it by distance of time.
