Sirach (Ecclesiasticus)

Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 45:13

πρὸ αὐτοῦ οὐ γέγονε τοιαῦτα ἕως αἰῶνος, οὐκ ἐνεδύσατο ἀλλογενὴς πλὴν τῶν υἱῶν αὐτοῦ μόνον καὶ τὰ ἔκγονα αὐτοῦ διαπαντός.
King James Version (KJV)

Before him there were none such, neither did ever any stranger put them on, but only his children and his children's children perpetually.

Modern English

Nothing like it existed before him, and no outsider ever wore it — only his sons and his sons' sons, forever.
