T If this be the right Tranſlation,the 430 years mentioned Gal:3: T7: are to be taken in a latitude,for about or near ſo many years,as 1s very frequent in Scripture,and other Authors ; elſe there wants one year of it, becauſe the Law was not given till about a year after their coming out of Egypr-. Nor was it of any concernment to the Apoſtle's Argument there,whether it wanted a year of thatnumber or no, as here it is. Bur the words may be rendred here, as Gen: 7: 12: in the body or ftrength of the day, i: e:when the day-light was full, and clear, and ſtrong, when it was broad day-light, the Egyptians ſeeing, and not being able to hinder them. If it be faid,they wenr out by night, Deut: 16: 1: that 1s true,in regard of their reſolution, in } preparation,and the beginning of their journey; bur their a&ual marching forth was by day-light,or in the morning;nor could it be done ſooner from the nature of the thing, and the time neceſſarily required for ſo great a work. k This Circumſtance is noted to ſet forth the accurateneſs and infallibility of God's Fore-knowledge and the efficacy of his Providence in accompliſhing all his own Counſels in his own appointed time.

z For the Maſter had a power to circumciſe ſuch perſons,Gen: 17:
12. And though itis probable, that by their intereſt in them, and a diligent inſtruCtion of them, they made them willing to receive Circumciſion, yet it ſeems they had a power to compe] them to it; but then Circumciſion was not to them a Seal of God's Covenant. nor of their Relizion, for that muſt be matter of choice, but only a civil badge, or a note of that Family or People into which they were politically incorporated.
