Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and-said, They do always err in heart; and they have not known my ways. So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.” From Ps. xev. 7-11. The translation of the LXX. agrees with the words of the apostle, both of them answering the original. Only, the apostle, clearly to express the reason of God’s judgments on that people in the wilderness, distinguisheth the words somewhat otherwise than they are in the Hebrew text. For whereas that saith, “When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works: forty years long was I grieved with that generation ;” the apostle adds that sea- son of “forty years” to the mention of their sins, and interposing 66, “ wherefore,” refers his speech unto the words foregoing, as containing the cause of the ensuing wrath and judgment. And al- though our present copies of the Greek Bible distinguish the words according to the Hebrew text, yet Theodoret informs us that some copies made the distinction with the apostle, and added 6: before rpoowx iow, Which also is observed by Nobilius: and this could arise from no other cause but an attempt to insert the very words of the apostle in that text; as did the «77a also, reckoned amongst its various lections, though sira remains in the vulgar editions.

For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws in their minds, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: and they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord; for alls shall know me, from the least of them to the greatest of ‘does For I will be ateieicak to their unrighteousness, nad their sins and their iniquities will J remember no more.” From Jer.xxxi.31-34, Instead of xiv wAnoiov, “his neighbour,” ver. 11, the LXX. read riv xoniryy, “his fellow-citizen.” But some copies of the LXX. read ranoiov, and some of this text roA‘rqv; which makes it evident that there hath been tampering, to bring them to uniformity. But the greatest difficulty of this quotation ariseth from the agreement of the apostle’s words and the translation of the LXX., where both of them seem to depart from the original: for these words in the Hebrew text, ver. 32, 52 neya ‘D3N} NMA YT TI-IWN, “Which my covenant they made void, and I was an husband unto them,” or “ruled over them,” are rendered by them, Ovdx évéueway ev rH diadH xn pov, nad iy hutrnon avray, “And they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not.” ‘The reason of the apostle’s transla- tion of these words we shall manifest and vindicate in our exposition of the context.
