Origen, on Josh 13:1

“Josue was old, and far advanced in years, and the Lord said to him: Thou art grown old, and advanced in age, and there is a very large country left, which is not yet divided by lot:”

“But since we have determined that the things that are said about Jesus [Joshua] also refer to our Lord and Savior, whom do we understand to be as much "the presbyter and elder, advanced of days" as the one who is "the beginning, the firstborn of every creature"? And for that reason, perhaps, he alone, before whom there is no one, is truly and properly called presbyter. Therefore, although there are those in the Scriptures who are called presbyters or elders or high priests, nevertheless, among the presbyters or elders the Lord Jesus must be reckoned chief of presbyters, and among bishops, chief of bishops, just as among high priests he is "chief of high priests." and as among shepherds he is "chief of shepherds." The Savior must be held first and chief in this and in every honorable title, because he is the "head" of all.”
