Return to me, and I will return to you, says the Lord Almighty. But ye said, 8 Wherein shall we return? Will a man insult God? for ye insult me. But ye say, wherein have we insulted thee?

Yet ye said, Wherein have we spoken against thee? 14 Ye said, He that + Gr. is vain. serves God labours in vain: and what have we gained in that we have kept his ordinances, and in that we have walked as suppliants before the face of the Lord Almighty? 15 And now we pronounce strangers blessed; and all they who act unlawfully are 926 built up; and they have resisted God, and yet have been delivered. 16 Thus spoke they that feared the Lord, every one to his neighbour: and the Lord gave heed, and hearkened, and he wrote a book of remembrance before him for them that feared the Lord and reverenced his name. 17And they shall be mine, says +Gr. for me. the Lord Almighty, in the day which I appoint for a peculiar possession; I will make choice of them, as a man makes choice of his son that serves him. 18 Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, and between him that serves God, and him that serves him not. and 4.

Remember the law of my servant Moses, accordingly as I charged him with it in Choreb for all Israel, even the commandments and ordinances. 5 APPENDIX. is ἀλλόφυλοι. In this there was probably some accommodation of sound to sense. JOB 25. 1.-In the New Testament | after which the word almost always used παροιμία is almost always translated proverb, but in John 10. 6, it is rendered parable, which seems to be the sense intended here. Probably προοίμιον is a mistake of the transcriber. The LXX. ISAIAH 21. 16.-Giants. Heb. '? For some interesting remarks on this word, see the conclusion of Govett's work on the book of the prophet Isaiah. JOB 39. 13.-терroμévov. 13.—τερπομένων. seem to have caught at the meaning of 17 jubilavit, from which comes the word JEZEKIEL 16. 44.-The most obvious here used ? struthiones. veeλaoσa; meaning of raрaßoλn seems to be comHebrew, part. niph. fem. of Dyparison.

Is the ostrich also, if it conceive, like the stork? For," &c. The stork according to tradition being the pious bird, the ostrich the contrary.-C. Pridham. נוצה PSALM 41. (42) 4.-There are several difficulties connected with this passage. In the first place it seems evident that the LXX. read 2, and the English translators, or something similar. The Hebrew Text (to which no " is appended) thus far favours the LXX.; who, however, appear to have read D as a part of 77, and made an adjective of it. Again, Tón has nothing immediately answering it in the Hebrew, and may be accounted for on the principle so often referred to of double translation. PROVERBS 8. 5.-It is frequently the case in Proverbs that akakos is used in a bad sense, and Tavoûруos in a good one. For akakos see chap. 1. 4, 22; 8.5; 14. 15; 21. 11. For пavouрyos, 12.16; 13.1,16; 14. 8, 15, 18; 15. 5; 21. 11; 22. 3; 27. 12; 28.2. ISAIAH 2. 6.-Philistines. The LXX. generally render 'n by evdiriciμ or Þudiorup till about the middle of Judges, rendered figure; in Luke 4. 23. proverb, which is the word employed by the English translators in this passage of Ezekiel. In the other passages of the New Testament, amounting to upwards of forty, it is uniformly rendered parable. See note on Job 25. 1. at the top of the first page of the Appendix. For the more classical use of the word, see Aristotle's Rhetoric, book 3.

And thou shalt put the fringes and the chains of gold on the two rings on both the sides of the oracle. 5 And thou shalt put two sides of the two fringes on the two hems, and thou shalt put the shoulders of the ephod opposite in front. 26 And thou shalt make two golden rings and shalt put them on the two edges of the oracle on the top from the top of the back of the ephod within. 27 And thou shalt make two golden rings, and shalt put them on both the shoulders of the ephod beneath it in front, to meet the coupling above of the woven work of the ephod. 28 And thou | blue lace and attached to the woven work shalt fasten the oracle by the rings upon of the ephod, that the oracle may not be it to the rings of the ephod joined with loosed from the ephod. THE FOLLOWING PASSAGES ARE SUPPLIED FROM KINGS I. (1 SAM.) + Gr. is. 17. 12 And David son of an Ephrathite said this Ephrathite was of Bethleem Juda, and his name was Jessæ, and he had eight sons. And the man passed for an old man among men in the days of Saul. 13 And the three elder sons of Jessæ went and followed Saul to the war, and the names of his + Gr. name. sons that went to the war were, Eliab his first-born, and his second Aminadab, and his third son Samma. 14And David himself was the younger son, + and the three elder followed Saul. 15 And David departed and returned from Saul, + to feed his father's sheep in Bethleem. + Gr. feeding. 16 And the Philistine advanced morning and evening, and stood up forty days. 17 And Jessæ said to David, Take now to thy brethren an ephah of this meal, and these ten loaves, and run to the camp and give them to thy brothers. 18 And thou shalt carry to the captain of the thousand these ten cheeses of milk, and thou cheeses of shalt see how thy brethren this milk. fare, and learn what they want. 19 And Saul himself and all the men of Israel were in the valley of the Oak, warring with the Philistines. 20 And David rose early in the morning, and left the sheep to a keeper, and took and went as Jessæ commanded him, and he came to the trench and to the army as curvature of it was going out to fight, and words.

I know thy pride and the naughtiness of thine heart, for thou art come down to see the battle. 29 And David said What have I done now? + Have I no business here? 30 And he turned from him toward another and he not a word? mound form they shouted for the battle. spoke after the same man- Lit. accorded out of it. 21 And Israel and the Philis-ner, and the people answered ing to the tines formed their lines one opposite the him after the former manner. first. other. 22 And David deposited his bur-31 And the words which David + Gr. behind den in the hand of a keeper, and ran to spoke were heard, and were the line, and went and asked his brethren reported to Saul.

So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone and smote the Philistine and slew him, and there was no sword in the hand of David. Verse 55. And when Saul saw David going out to meet the Philistine, he said to Abener the captain of the host, Whose son is this youth? and Abener said, As thy soul lives, O king, I know not. 56 And the king said, Do thou ask whose son this youth is. 57 And as David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, Abener took him and brought him in before Saul, and the head of the Philistine was in his hand. 58 And Saul said to him, Whose son art thou, young man? and David said The son of thy servant Jesse the Bethleemite. 18.

And Saul said, Let not my hand be upon him, but the hand of the Philistines shall be upon him. 18 And David said to Saul, Who am I, and what is the life of my father's family in Israel, that I should be the king's son-in-law? 19 But it came to pass at the time when Merob Saul's daughter should have been given to David that she was given to Israel the Mothulathite to wife. KINGS III. (KINGS I.) 6. And the word of the Lord came to Solomon, saying, 12 As for this house which thou art building, if thou wilt walk in my ordinances and execute my judgments, and keep all my commandments to walk in them, I will establish my word with thee which I spoke to David thy father. 13 And I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel. 14 So Solomon built the house and finished it. 22 And all inside the oracle he overlaid with gold. 7. Verse 1, &c. See the first 12 verses of this chapter placed at the end of it in the Vatican copy. 13. 27 And he spoke to his sons, saying, Saddle me the ass, and they saddled it. 14. Verses 1. to 20.

And the sons of Aram: Os and Ul, and Gather, and Mosoch. 18 And Arphaxad begot Cainan, and Cainan begot Sala, and Sala begot Eber. 19 And to Eber were born two sons, the name of the one Phalec, for in his days the earth was divided, and the name of his brother was Jectan. 20 And Jectan begot Elmodad and Saleph and Aramoth, 21 and Keduran, and Exe, and Declam, and Gemian, and Abimeel, and Saban, 23and Uphir, and Evi, and Oram; all these were the sons of Jectan.
