... which is natural.” Wherefore is the latter greater in dignity? Because “the elder shall serve the younger.” …Cain first builded a city, and in that place he builded where no city was. But when Jerusalem was being builded, it was not builded in a place where there was not a city, but there was a city at first which was called Jebus, whence the Jebusites. This having been captured, overcome, made subject, there was builded a new city, as though the old were thrown down; and it was called Jerusalem,[Joshua 18:28] vision of peace, City of God.
