'On Earth' in the Bible

If he were, however, still upon earth, he would not even be a priest, since there are already priests who offer the gifts as the Law directs.

Beware how you refuse to hear him who is speaking. For, if the Israelites did not escape punishment, when they refused to listen to him who taught them on earth the divine will, far worse will it be for us, if we turn away from him who is teaching us from Heaven.
