Notes and various readings on chapter III of Ezekiel. V. 1. O' of the Septuagint, *whatever you find, eat*. Ms. Jes. [Heb. and Vulg., *whatever you find, eat. Eat this volume*. O' only *eat the head* of this. Montfaucon did not note that this *eat* refers to the other *eat*, and wrote it to the former, to which it least pertains; therefore we have deleted it. It keeps in the text the version of the LXX, noting with an asterisk. Complut. thus, DRACH.] V. 2. Heb. and Vulg., *and he fed me with that volume*.

^A Scholion, *the head of a book*, instead of *volume*; for thus the Hebrews call a volume (they call it thus). ^B S., *a scroll*, a *book*.

V. 10. *A., and it was written*, etc. These readings emerge from the notes of the Roman edition, and from the Royal silk-paper manuscript, where it is read as in the Roman edition, but wrongly instead of *creation*: for Aquila derives the word *kĕnîyâh* (possession) from *qānâh* (he possessed). In Symmachus' version it is read *katalegma*; I do not sufficiently follow the interpretation of this word. In Jeremiah xxv, 30, it has the same, but it expresses there the Hebrew word. [Our author confesses that he cannot achieve the interpretation of the word *katalegma*. Item Drusius: "What it is, I leave to others to inquire." But Nobilius has interpreted it excellently in the Roman edition: *lamentation*. See what we noted above on Jerem. xxv, 30, where similarly it is not a *katalēgma*, but *katalēgma* is to be read. The Hebrew verb *qānâh* sounds like both *create* and *buy*; and thus it is no wonder if they express the Hebrew noun *qinyān* with equal right, as Aquila reads, which is plain. Cf. Ps. civ, 24, where the LXX themselves interpret the same word *qinyān* as *creation*. Therefore Montfaucon corrected it wrongly, and we have replaced in the text what Origen and the Royal codex have.

^C In the Commentaries, he discusses it fully, and after many other things he says: "And I am sufficiently surprised why the Vulgate copies have one hundred and ninety years; and in some it is written one hundred and fifty; whereas the Hebrew, and Aquila, and Symmachus, and Theodotion quite clearly maintain three hundred and ninety years; and even among the LXX themselves, who are not corrupted by the fault of the scribes, the same number is found." And indeed in the notes of the Roman edition, it is said that certain copies have it thus, and that Polychronius read it so, *ninety and three hundred days*. [Theodoret as our text has, but the Complutensian has... and places before Ald.,... days, in the same way that Polychronius also reads, who notes these things. Origen l. c.: "However, we are not ignorant that some copies have 150 days, and others 120 days, and the majority have 120 days. But having examined the other editions, we found it to be 390 days." This note we have partly elicited from the Roman ed. Cod. B: 'A., Σ., Θ., *and 390 days*.] ^D V. 6. 'A., Θ., *second*. Ms. Jes. [C has in the text [i]second[/i], with an asterisk prefixed.

Jerome: "Which we have interpreted as 'spelt,' for which in Hebrew it is called CHASAMIM, the LXX and Theodotion have placed ὄλυραν, which some think is oats, some rye. But Aquila in his first edition and Symmachus have interpreted [it as] *zeas* or *zeias*: which we call either corn, or in the language of the Italians and Pannonians, ears of grain or spelt." [He also notes that in the LXX it is said in III Reg. xix, 6, *bread*, *olyriten*.] Here too the same discrepancy of numbers is noticed, which [was] above in verse 5. Hebr. and Vulg., *three hundred and ninety days*. Ald., Complut., *ninety and three hundred*. V. 10. Hebr., (*and thy food*) which (thou shalt eat it). In the LXX that *which* is not present.

Aq., *weights*, as Hebr. and Vulg.—LXX, *thou shalt divide* [Aq., Symm., Theod., *thou shalt distribute*] *them*, [LXX, *thou shalt burn*]. Symm., *thou shalt consume*.—LXX, *at the fulfilling of the days*. Another, *the fulfilling*. Symm., *until the days be fulfilled*. B, *in the midst of it*—and the fourth *in the midst of it*, Symm., *to the wind*. B—1, *behind them*. Aq., Symm., the rest of them.

V. 2. Aq., Theod., *the third part*, and thus four times in the same verse in the notes of the Roman edition. [Regarding this false quaternity, you will find no mention in the Roman edition, a note of which is worthy to be adduced here in full: "Aq. and Theod., *the third part*, and so on"; regarding which matter the writings of St. Jerome and Theodoret ought to be read. St. Jerome indeed, concerning the things which follow, *and thou shalt take a fourth*, *and thou shalt burn it in the midst of it*, seems almost to have read in the LXX in the fourth place that which he says was added from their own. Montfaucon mistakenly thought that these words, and so on, signified that Aquila and Theodotion four times placed *the third part*, for they translated from the Hebrew, *shlishith*, a third part, which in the original text is read only three times. Lamb. Bos notes regarding the first two *the fourth*: "Aq. and Th., *the third part*." Moreover, Cod. B, to the first, adds: "Aq., Symm., Theod., *third part*, adding Symmachus". But St. Jerome's own words upon this and the twelfth verse below should not be passed over. 2. For the three parts of the hair and hairs, the LXX interpreted it as four parts. And since they had said, "a fourth part of the wood thou shalt burn in the midst of the city," and "a fourth part thou shalt cut with the sword in its circuit," and "a fourth part thou shalt scatter to the wind," because another fourth part remained for them, they added of their own: *and a fourth part thou shalt take, and burn it in the midst of the city*: as if it were not the same as the first, and as if he had said one thing in the first and another in this which has been added. 12. Because the Septuagint had placed four parts above, in this place also they divided that same first part into two, so as to say: "A fourth part of thee shall die by death, and a fourth part of thee shall be consumed by famine in the midst of thee, and a fourth part of thee shall fall by the sword in thy circuit, and a fourth part of thee I will scatter to every wind": although this which we have posited, *and a (clearly should be read "third". So Drusius. We do not agree) part of thee shall fall by the sword*, has been added from the edition of Theodotion under asterisks. But it is clear, just as the Hebrew truth contains, that there are three parts. Of the first of which it may be said: "And a third part of thee shall die by pestilence, and shall be consumed by famine in the midst of thee." And it would have been much better to translate what is written than to seek a defense for a poorly translated matter. Nor do we say this was done by those to whom antiquity gave authority: but that it was depraved through many centuries by the fault of scribes and readers. Although Aristeas and Josephus, and the whole school of the Jews, assert that only the five books of Moses were translated by the Septuagint. Add to this point the holy Doctor on Micah 2:9 and 10.—Various readings, etc. C, *in the midst of them*. The same. DRACH.]

Ibid. Symm., *I will strip*. The royal bombycine codex and the ms. of Jes.

V. 3. Symm., *at the end*. Ms. Jes. [Cod. B brings another...

interpretation: *and thou shalt bind*. DRACH.]

V. 4. At the end of the verse, Hebr. and Vulg., *out of it shall come a fire to* (Vulg., *into*) *every house of Israel*. The LXX, however, and Theodoret and the Aldine have it thus: *out of it shall come a fire into every house of Israel*. Ms. C indeed admits both readings, preferring an obelus, which the scribe has not placed in its proper position, and it should be rewritten thus: *out of it shall come a fire into every house of Israel*, — *and thou shalt say to every house of Israel* is not present in the Hebrews. *Dominus*. *Adonai Dominus*. *Adonai*.

V. 5. Jerome brings the Latin interpretation of this and the following verse, saying: "Which Symmachus has beautifully interpreted: This, he says, is Jerusalem etc." as above. Hebr., *Adonai Jehova*. Vulg., *Dominus Deus*. LXX, C, Alex., Ald., Complut., *Dominus*. It is the same also in the following verses.

V. 6. Ms. C has the former words of this verse thus: *and thou shalt say*, — *changed*: *my ordinances*. Symm., *your multitude*. *Because you have been numbered among the nations that are in your circuit*. LXX, *your provocation* (or *occasion*). Theod., *your thoughts*. *and I will do*. *and I also will do*. Aquila, Theod., *and even I*. Symm., *and I myself will do*. *Dominus*, *Another*, *Lord*, *Lord*. *judgment*. *judgments*. *children... fathers*. *their children... fathers*. *their*, *fathers*, *their*.

V. 7. Jerome brings the Latin readings of the second edition of Aquila and of Symmachus. [Lamb. Bos exhibits them in Greek thus: Aq. ed 2, *the multitude of you. Because you have been numbered among the nations which are in your circuit*. LXX, *the occasion of you*. Theod., *the thoughts of you*. DRACH.]

V. 8. Hebr., *even I, will also do*. Vulg., *and I myself will do*. LXX, C, however, *and I also will do*. Aquila, Theod., *and even I*. Symm., *and I myself will do*. The same cod. to *Lord*, *Another*, *Lord*, *Lord*. DRACH.] Ibid. LXX, with Ald., *judgment*. Hebr. and Vulg., *judgments*. IDEM.

V. 9. LXX, everything. Aquila, *all things*, whatever. B. The same.

V. 10. Hebr. and Vulg., (*Therefore fathers shall eat*) *their sons (in the midst of thee, and sons shall eat*) *their fathers*. LXX, C, *their children... fathers*. But we suspect that *their* has been transposed, whose rightful place is after *fathers*, in accordance with the Hebrew truth. Some codices, however, as the Polyglot Bible testifies, have *their* after both. V. 11. LXX, *if not, truly*, *except*. See also our note above at § 5. Idem.

Ibid. Ms. Jes. Hebr., *in all your idols*. For the Hebrew has *in all your abominations*. The LXX have only, *in all your abominations*. But what was lacking in the LXX has been supplied from Theodotion, as can be seen in C, which has, *and in all your idols*. So also, although without an asterisk, in the Alexandrian and in the Complutensian. The Hebrew *shiqqus* properly signifies an abomination.

and it is used especially of idols. Consult our Catholic Hebrew lexicon. ^A The same must also be said concerning the Greek *prosokhthisma*; for the Scripture calls idols *prosokhthismata*, and from the verb *prosokhthizo*. O, and I also; A., Th., truly I also; S., he himself. B. O', and I also; A., Th., truly I also; S. For both *kago*, Alex., *kai ego*. ^B V. 12. Th., and the fourth, etc. Ms. Jes. [Cf. what we have noted at v. 2.—C., and the fourth* of your [sic] in famine shall be finished in your midst, and *the fourth of yours by the sword shall fall round about you, and *the fourth of yours into every wind I will scatter. The phrase *the fourth of yours* does not exist among the Hebrews. B: O', shall be finished. S., shall be consumed.—O', I will strip. S., I will strip, I will lay bare. DRACH.] Ibid. A., and the fourth of yours, etc. Ms. Jes. Which reading is held today in the O' [LXX], having been taken, as it seems, from Aquila. [Before "light," believe that hinds graze in the air, than that Aquila, according to accuracy an interpreter, is further from the Hebrew text than this.] ^C V. 13. Th., and I will be comforted. The same ms. Jes. [C adds with an asterisk. Aldus and Complutensian also have it. B is thus: A., S., Th., O', I will be comforted. The same codex, and I will cause to rest. That is, the three Interpreters thus translate the Hebrew word, which is missing in the LXX. DRACH.] V. 14. And for a reproach, etc. Ms. Jes. Which Jerome testifies is absent from the LXX. [LXX for these, absolutely otherwise: C, *and for a reproach among the nations* * round about you. Aldus has it as C, and Theodoret as C and Marchal. DRACH.] V. 15. Jerome: In the LXX it is read: And it shall be *stenakte*, i.e., "groanable." And concerning Theodotion it is added, the meaning of which word we do not have. For which the three other Interpreters translated "blasphemy," which in Hebrew is called GEDDUPHA. And a little later: *delaisthe* and *delaian*, some say "unhappy and miserable": others [clearly—] ^D

wants to be understood as exposed to miseries. Drusius reads *deilaistē* (wretched), but *dēlaistē* is better, and so the best manuscripts of Jerome have it. But what he may mean by the "three other Interpreters," moving aside the Septuagint and Theodotion, remains a matter of conjecture. I would suppose that it refers to the first and second, and Symmachus; or perhaps Aquila, the Syrian, and Symmachus; or the reading of the fifth, sixth, and seventh. Certainly, those three other Interpreters can be indicated in this way. Yet it is strange that these three Interpreters are mentioned only in this passage of Ezekiel. Wherefore the matter remains in doubt.

Notes and Various Readings for Chapter VII of Ezekiel

Hieronymus: "In this chapter, according to the Septuagint translators, the order is changed and confused, such that the first things are last, and the last are first or middle, and the middle things themselves are sometimes transferred to the end, and sometimes to the beginning. From which we, following the Hebrew itself and the remaining interpreters, have established the order of truth."

As for the third up to the seventh verse, ^B we borrow the readings from the MS of Jes., where the text differs little from the LXX.

V. 2. *εἰπέ*, say. It is absent in C, Complut., Heb., and Vulg. Idem C, etc. *Adonai Dominus* is found in all editions except the Roman and cod. VM, which have only *Κύριος*. Heb. and Vulg., *plagas*. LXX, *πτέρυγας*, wings. Σ., *ἄκρα*, summits. B. DRACH.

V. 3. "Another," [reads] "now the end" etc. It has the same for v. 5, but after *καὶ ἐκδικήσω* it adds *σε*, thee, which the Heb., Vulg., Orig., Alex., and other Greek exemplars also have. In [the margin], as "Another", up to that which [it has] *τὰς ὁδούς σου*. The rest are omitted. In the same cod. Aq. has here C, underneath an obelus, *ἥκει τὸ πέρας* as in the Roman edition, up to IDEM.

V. 4. C, *οὐ φείσεταί ὁ ὀφθαλμός σου* (the first copyist corrected *μου*, but the second hand substituted *σου*), except *οὐδὲ μὴ ἐλεήσῃ*. The rest as in the Roman edition up to. But it refers rather to verse 9 of the Hebrew text, which differs little from v. 4, except that at the end it adds *percutiens*, *τυπτόν*. But for verses 6, 7, it has as here "Another", but instead of *ἐλεήσω*, again [reads something else], and for [it has] *ἐπὶ σὲ δώσω*. IDEM.

V. 5. Σ., *κάκωσις*. Drusius from the Roman edition. [C, adds before the words].

V. 6. Σ., *τὸ πέρας* etc. So also C, under an asterisk, at v. 9. DRACH.

V. 7. Hieronymus: "There comes a contraction, which is called SEPHPHIRA in Hebrew, and which Aquila interpreted as *προσκόπησιν*, i.e., contemplation, and prospection, which you always feared ^C with terror would come upon you; and which Theodotio interpreted as *πλοκήν*, i.e., the order and context of all evils."

Ibid. Hieronymus: "The Hebrew word ADARIM, which we divide into two words—the first AD, the second ARIM—we have interpreted, according to Theodotio, as 'the glory of the mountains.' Symmachus translates it as 'delay,' and says, 'The time is near, the day of haste and not of delay.' Moreover, the LXX translated it thus: 'The time has come, the day has approached, not with perturbation, nor with pains.' Theodotio: 'The time has come, the day of famine is near, and not the glory of the mountains.'" [C, v. 9. *τὸ πέρας ἥκει* etc. Roman edit. Cf. above at v. 3.— B, *venit, venit* and *cidaris*. Α., Σ., *προσκόπησις*, prospectio. Α., *στολή*, contractio. You see two versions of the same word by Aquila. Item C, v. 10, *absque* DRACH.]

V. 8. LXX, *ἐν ταῖς ὁδοῖς σου*, they read *בדרכך*, instead of [Hebrew script]. DRACH.

V. 9. See above at v. 4. Idem.

V. 10. "Another," *ἰδοὺ ἡ ἡμέρα* etc. Drusius. Hieronymus, however, has these things regarding this place: "A difficult passage, and one that disagrees much between the Hebrew and the LXX, to which most things have been added from Theodotio's edition, so that they might appear to have some consistency."

Ibid. Symmachus, *inspectio*. From Hieronymus. [Lamb. Sym. *πρόσοψις*, inspectio, as S. Hier. translates. Cf. above: *Ecce dies parit, ecce finis venit, exiit complexio, et infirmata est virga, germinavit superbia, suscitata est injuria*. [He] prefixes *ἐξήνθησεν ἡ ὑπερηφάνεια* to the words, Α., Θ. DRACH.]

V. 11. H. and V., *Iniquitas surrexit in virga impietatis*; [the Greek has] *ἀδικία ἀνέστη εἰς ῥάβδον ἀθεσίας*, iniquity has risen into a rod of ungodliness. Σ., ^D

Σ., ^A into nausea. ^B 22. In uncleanness. And they shall defile them. 23. A chain. Of peoples. Another, of the judgment of blood. 24. And I will avert arrogance. THEODOTION. And they shall inherit their houses.

...avarice stands to the invocation of iniquity. ^C ...surged up, contumely, and it shall crush the firmament of the ungodly. Codex B, Drach.

Ibid. Θ., *neither from them, nor [is there] beauty*, etc. Ms. Jes. [It agrees with the text word for word, except for the name of the interpreter, as is customary. On that passage, he notes: For [Hebrew], Sym. and Theod. read [Hebrew]; however, the Vulgate author [read] [Hebrew]. Item B: Α., *not with edacity*, and *not magnificence*. Θ., *not from them, nor from their multitude*, Sym., *and not with tumult* (otherwise, *tumultuous*), *nor with haste* (otherwise, *nor with birth-pains*). Thus B. Hebr. as Theod. Vulg., *not from them, nor from the people*. DRACH.]

V. 13. Hebr. and Vulg., *because he who sells shall not return to that which he sold*. The LXX read something else, who translate: *because the buyer shall not return to the seller*. DRACH.

Ibid. *And no longer in life*, etc. Ms. Jes. Drusius [notes it] better as *and yet*. Which Jerome says is also in the LXX. [^C, ✱ *and yet in life*... *shall return*. DRACH.]

Notes and various readings on Chapter VIII of Ezekiel

V. 1. 'A., "In the sixth year" etc. Ms. Jes. Ibid. Jerome: "For that which we have said, 'the hand of the Lord fell upon me,' Symmachus translated, 'the hand of the Lord touched me,' which in Hebrew is called THEPHPHOL. The most ancient Codex Sangermanensis of Jerome on Ezekiel [has] THEPPOL." [C, (and so also Complut. and so the Heb. and Vulg.), "in the fifth month" (the month is missing from the Heb.), also adds Complut. H. and V., "in my house," and "the elders of Judah" (Ed. Rom., Alex., and V., "before me" and V., "there," etc.) (Alex., Ald., Complut., X. "Adonai" Lord. Heb., "the hand of Adonai Jehova." Vulg., "the hand of the Lord God").] We have here a note of Origen which must not be omitted: "In some [copies] it is written: 'the hand of the Lord, the Lord.' But in others we have said that that which is expressed by this word 'Lord' is often the venerable name of God among the Hebrews, which indeed they do not quickly utter (namely, the name, Jehova). Nevertheless, there is a time when this 'lord' is used for a master of servants. Where, therefore, 'Lord, Lord' is placed, it must be understood that the one is the proper and ineffable name of God (scil., Jehova). The remaining 'Lord,' the Hebrews set as 'Adonai' in [the place of] Lord (something is missing here, but the meaning is clear; namely, superstitious Hebrews utter 'Adonai' for 'Jehova'): sometimes, indeed, uttering that word in [place of] the ineffable name (that is, in place of the ineffable name), but sometimes as if for a master of servants. That 'Adonai' of the Lord, therefore, to one who has understood what has been said about the ineffable name, does not differ from 'Lord,' as we have published." You may see what we have discussed at length concerning the ineffable name Jehova, denoting the SS. [Most Holy] and undivided Trinity of Persons of one God, in our work, *De l'harmonie entre l'Eglise et la Synagogue*, vol. I. V. 2. ὡς εἶδος. Ms. Jes. [So also under an asterisk, and Ald.

In place of which Symmachus interpreted: *as if sending forth a sound in the likeness of a song through their nostrils*.” [Edit. Rom.] [S. Hieron.] appears to have read in Symmachus [...], for he interprets it as: *in the likeness of a song*. DRACH. Origenes, [l. c.]: “That indeed, *they shall extend the branch*, which is not found in the LXX, we have added from Theodotion. It should be known, however, that *mora* in Hebrew signifies both 'sound' and 'branch'.” In this place of Origen, [the word] [...] is placed erroneously for [...], *zemora*. DR.

Notes and Various Readings to Chapter IX of Ezekiel

V. 1. B: Theodotion, of destruction in his hand. The others [Septuagint], of ruin. Symmachus, in his hand. ^B

V. 2. Jerome: "And for /linen/ (lineis), which we interpreted according to Symmachus, the LXX and Theodotion kept the very Hebrew word /baddim/; Aquila translated it as 'precious things'." Ibid. The Royal silk codex provides the Hebrew reading. Regarding the remaining interpretations, Jerome says: "Again, where we said, 'and an ink-horn belonging to the scribe at his loins,' the LXX put, 'and a sapphire girdle upon his loins'; Theodotion, 'a scribe upon his hand'; Aquila, 'a black-vessel,' that is, the scribe’s ink-horn at his loins; Symmachus, 'he had the scribe's tablets at his loins'." After interposing some matters, Jerome adds: "As to what Aquila's first edition and Theodotion said, which in the Hebrew is read /keseth/ (CESATH)—when I asked the Hebrew what it meant, he told me that in the Greek tongue it is called /kalamarion/ (ink-horn), for the reason that reeds are stored in it. We call it an ink-horn (atramentarium) because it contains ink. Many more significantly call them cases (thecas), because they are cases for the writing-reeds." The Royal silk codex, and likewise the Coislinian, contain what is taken from Origen. But the same Origen says, "I think, however, that a certain Hebrew said that /kesty/ (custy) is what is called an ink-horn." ^C

C, and so the Complutensian, Hebrew, and Vulgate. The Roman text, however, edit... [etc.]

V. 5. Another, from the cherub. So the Ms. of Jesus in the text. [C, and the glory of the God of Israel went up from the Cherub, which was upon it.—B: Theodotion, from the Cherubim. Otherwise, from the Cherub.—Theodotion, to the threshold.] ^D

Ibid. Jerome: "And where we translated, 'threshold of the house,' the LXX and Theodotion put 'the atrium' (vestibulum), i.e., under the open sky."

V. 4. [Middle of the city etc. Ms. of Jesus. C, and he thus punctuates.—And so the Alexandrian, Hebrew, and Vulgate, "in the midst of it" (viz. Jerusalem).—In the beginning of the verse, C (sic) and so the Alexandrian, Aldine, Complutensian, Hebrew, and Vulgate.]

Ibid. Aquila, Theodotion, a marking of the Tau. From Origen. There I think Origen is speaking of another edition of Aquila, where /thau/ was read as below: for what Jerome says must refer to the other: "For a sign (so he) which the LXX, Aquila, and Symmachus translated, Theodotion placed the very Hebrew word THAU." And a little later: "In the ancient letters of the Hebrews, which the Samaritans use even today, the final letter /thau/ has the likeness of a cross: which is painted on the foreheads of Christians and is marked by the frequent sign of the hand." One must not omit the notable annotation of Origen, which is held in the Coislinian codex, as well as the Royal silk codex: Some say that the long-robed one (the man clothed in linen) was commanded by the glory of the Lord to give a sign upon the foreheads of those who were groaning and lamenting. But upon the Jews being asked if they had any ancestral learning to tell regarding the /thau/, we heard these things. One said that the /thau/ is the last of the twenty-two elements among the Hebrews, according to the order of their letters. Therefore, the last element is taken to represent the perfection of those who, for the sake of the virtue in them, were groaning and grieving over those who were transgressing in the people, and were suffering with the lawless. Another said that the /thau/ is a symbol of those who have kept the law; since the law among the Hebrews is called /thora/, and its first element is the /thau/; and therefore it is a symbol of those who have lived according to the law. A third one, who was among those who had also believed in the Savior, said that the ancient elements...

were similar in shape to the cross and that the sign by which Christians were to be marked on their foreheads was prophetically declared: which, indeed, all those who have believed in Christ are accustomed to make at the beginning of every work, but especially of prayers and sacred readings. Aquila and Theodotion, however, say, "a sign of thau." [In the codex, moreover, there is read in the margin: "miracle." To those who use Samaritan letters, thau does not have the form of a cross; but in the ancient coins of the Hebrews it appears in these three ways: ⌉, 28, 8. And in Phoenician coins and monuments: +, X, †. Cf. our annotation on the Bibles which we have published in Latin and French. Furthermore, Cartwright (in *Mellificium Hebraicum*, Bk. 1, ch. 4) aptly suggests that in the version of Aquila and Theodotion there should be substituted "or you shall mark thau," as the Hebrew truth warrants.

Notes and various readings on Chapter XII of Ezekiel.

V. 2. "Another, in the midst of the house of rebellion." Drusius. Jerome however notes this: "For that which we translate, 'you dwell in the midst of the house of exasperation,' the Seventy have placed: 'In the midst of their iniquities you dwell.'" [House is also read in Theodoret.] to doing. A manifest slip for "seeing." And thus Alexandrinus and Aldine, "a contentious house." (Roman edition to this, ^C Theodoret from Symmachus, "contentious.") Drusius however refers to verse 3 following, and, as is his custom, drags Montfaucon after him. Moreover, the reading, as you see, is likewise to be attributed to Aquila.

V. 3. "Drusius."

Ibid. It says: "vessels of captivity, and you shall be taken captive." So also Alexandrinus and Aldine. Complutensian however, "you shall be taken captive." Hebrew and Vulgate, "vessels of transmigration, and you shall transmigrate." Presently, "to another place." So also Complutensian, Hebrew, and Vulgate. — B: The Seventy, "of captivity." Others, "they are." And thus Hebrew, "they are." DRACH. ^D

V. 4. C, "a captive." They have the same order of words as the Hebrew, Vulgate, Alexandrinus, Aldine, and Complutensian, which the Roman edition does not maintain. IDEM.

V. 5. Hebrew, "before their eyes." In our Seventy it is missing. C. "in the wall." So Hebrew. IDEM.

V. 6. The Seventy, "you shall be taken up." Aquila, "you shall be lifted up," you shall carry. Hebrew, "you shall carry." — The Seventy, "a sign." Another, "a term," or "the end." But the other reading is a copyist's blunder, which is plain. IDEM.

^A Ver. 16. The Seventy say: "I shall cast them out." Symmachus: "I shall make them far away." — For "toward which," Symmachus: "to which." Ver. 17. The Seventy: "where." Symmachus: "whithersoever." Ver. 18. [Refers to] "its abominations." Symmachus: "its filth." Ver. 19. The Seventy: "another." Aquila, Symmachus, Theodotion: "one." For "I shall give among them," Symmachus: "(I shall give) into your inward parts." Ver. 20. The Seventy: "in my ordinances." Aquila: "in my precise statutes." Ver. 21. The Seventy: "and against the heart of their abominations." But Symmachus: "those things which pertain to the cogitation of their abominations." Ver. 22. The Seventy: "those holding them." Aquila: "conformably." And [as to] "and the spirit lifted me up," — The Seventy say: "and I went up from the vision which..." Symmachus: "and the vision was taken up from me." Ver. 25. The Seventy: "toward the captivity." Aquila: "with / all."

EZECHIEL CHAPTER XII

Symmachus: Another, "in the midst of a house provoking to wrath." Another, "for the prince and the leader." Another, "I shall pour out behind them." Another, "with lack." "It shall dissolve." "It has perished."

THEODOTION

^B Notes and various readings on Chapter XII of Ezekiel. V. 7. Hebrew and Vulgate, "as vessels." In our Seventy it is absent. The C, with the Alex., Ald., and Theodore, [adds] "as vessels." Complutense, "as vessels." — Hebrew and Vulgate, "by hand." In our Seventy it is absent. The C, with the Alex., Ald., and Complutense, [adds] "by hand." — For "upon the shoulders," the C reads "from the shoulders." Hebrew, "upon the shoulder." — The Seventy, "in the gloom." Symmachus, "in the darkness." Theodotion, "in the darkness." — "Toward me in the morning." The same order of words in the Alex. and in the Hebrew. IDEM. V. 9. For "they said," the C reads "I said." Hebrew, however, "they said." Presently, it does not have the article before "provoking." IDEM. V. 10. Another, "to the prince, say, to the prince and to the leader in Jerusalem." — "Say," reading "Adonai K." — The Seventy: "the prince and the leader." Aquila: "to the one lifted up [upon] this chariot." Symmachus, "concerning the prince this burden." Theodotion, and the others: "this prince and leader." Another, "to the prince and to the leader." V. 11. Theodotion, "to him." Aquila: "to you." Symmachus, Theodotion, "to them." V. 12. The C reads: "and the prince who is in the midst of them." Hebrew and Vulgate, "and the leader who is in the midst of them." At the end of the clause, for "the land," the C has "the wrath," but incorrectly. — The Seventy: Aquila, "with" the land. IDEM. V. 13. The Seventy: "in my preserve." Aquila, "with my net." Symmachus, "with my dragnet." V. 14. Symmachus, "I shall unmask," etc. Ms. Jes. [The C as another, and thus the Alex., Ald., and Complutense. — The Seventy, those opposed...]

^A His images, their wings. ^B His supports. And at the margin, for "behind them," it has "following them," which refers to the preceding word "sword." [DRACA.] V. 16. B: The Seventy, "and I shall leave." Another, "and I shall receive." The Seventy, "and from death." Aquila, Symmachus, "in instability." Theodotion, "in commotion," "with commotion." Theodotion, "of eagerness." All who dwell, of all who dwell. "The earth shall be destroyed in fulfillment," with egestate (need). Aquila, Theodotion, "in solicitude." Symmachus, "of desperation." The Seventy, "with its fulfillment." Symmachus, "from its fulfillment." Another, "in the fulfillment." The Seventy, "for in impiety all who dwell," Symmachus, "on account of the iniquity of all who dwell." [DRACA.] V. 19. For "The Lord says," C, with the Alex., Ald., and Complutense, ^C adds "Lord." The Hebrew and the Vulgate likewise, as often indicated. For "all who dwell," the Complutense is better, "all who inhabit"; for so the Hebrew truth bears it, and thus the Vulgate translates it. C, for "with fulfillment," of the other editions. With egestate. In solicitude. With instability. The Seventy, "with dissipation." Symmachus, "of desperation." From its fulfillment (and so the Hebrew). For in impiety all who dwell. On account of the iniquity of all who dwell. V. 20. B: The Seventy, "they shall be for desolation." ^D Aquila, "they shall be destroyed" (and so the Hebrew). They shall be emptied. The Seventy, "for dissipation." Symmachus, "inordinate." [IDEM.] V. 22. Jerome: "What we have called 'proverb,' according to Symmachus, all other interpreters have translated as 'parable,' which is called 'MASAL' in Hebrew."

[EZECHIELIS CAPUT XIII.]

Ibid. Hieronymus: “Every vision shall perish: or according to Symmachus, that is, it shall be dissolved into wind and slender air.” [At the end of the clause. In the Hebrew and Vulgate, “every vision.” C, and so the Aldine and Complutensian; in the Roman and Alexandrian [editions] it is absent.]

V. 23. It says “Adonai K.” And thus Alexandrian, Aldine, and Complutensian. — B: “All,” [etc.] The same codex: “And I will turn away,” Symmachus: “I will cause to rest,” The Septuagint: “that,” [etc.] Aquila: “but,” [etc.] The Septuagint: “and the word.” Symmachus: “a time.” [B: Symmachus, “slippery,” Theodotion, “smooth,” The Septuagint, “false.”]

V. 25. See the Roman edition. C, “That I am the Lord, I will speak; I will speak my words and I will perform, and I will not prolong it anymore; for in your days, O house that provokes to anger, I will speak a word and I will perform it, says Adonai the Lord.” (Alex., Ald., and Complut.; [the Greek has] “Adonai K.”). — B: The Septuagint, “I will prolong.” Symmachus, “he shall be a sojourner,” [The Septuagint,] “provoking to anger.” Aquila, “a perverter.” ^A

V. 27. Thus: “Behold, the house of Israel” ÷ “the provoker” ÷ “saying”: “they say, therefore speak (say) to them. Thus speaks Adonai the Lord.” (Alex., Ald., and Complut.; “Adonai K.”). They shall not prolong any more all my words which I shall speak; I will speak a word and I will perform it, says Adonai the Lord. ^B

V. 28. It corresponds with the Hebrew, except for two things which we shall note. (Complut.; [the Greek has] “speak” (imperative) to them. Thus speaks Adonai the Lord (Alex., Ald., and Complut.; this second “shall speak” is absent in the Hebrew) a word and I will perform, says Adonai the Lord. (Alex., Ald., and Complut.). The same. ^C

V. 24. Hieronymus: “Where it has been edited by us, ‘nor shall there be ambiguous divination,’ the Septuagint translated, ‘nor shall any diviner by favor’—for which all have interpreted ‘slippery,’ which we have called ‘ambiguous.’” ^D

Jerome, however, on this passage: ‘And that wall itself, which in the following [verses] is called the CIR, the pseudo-prophets were smearing without tempering, as Symmachus interpreted, that is, with pure mud, and that it had no straw, so that it could not provide any strength. But as the LXX and Theodotion [say], they smear it with folly: but Aquila interpreted the Hebrew word THAPHEL as [in other books is] or that which signifies without salt. But what Jerome says, that the LXX translated it as folly, as Theodotion rendered it, seems to be understood of the Edition of the LXX of the Hexapla. For in the published editions it reads... And in the Complut. edition both readings are used. The note of the Anonymous in the Coislinian codex looks here: (C has: as mud without straw.: Ο', against which. Θ., ❋ and.]

Notes and various readings on Chapter XIV of Ezekiel.

V. 1. "Another (edition) from the elders—" Drusius. [C has as our other (copy). Others, for "from," read "by." Drach.] V. 2. Hebr.: The word of the Lord came to me. LXX: "And the word of the Lord came to me." But the truth, with the Alexandrine, preserves the order of the Hebrew text. Drach. V. 3. "Aquila, 'the men' etc." From Theodoret. Jerome however says: "They have placed their impurities in their hearts, or thoughts; and according to Symmachus and Theodotion, 'idols' and 'stumbling-block'." Manuscript of Isaiah: "their idols." [For "the punishment of the LXX elders," Theodotion translates "the stumbling-block." Lamb, Bos. Therefore the "stumbling-block" of the place cited by St. Jerome pertains to Theodotion.] V. 4. Hebr.: Adonai Jehovah. LXX: "The Lord." With the Alexandrine, Aldine, and Complutensian: "Adonai the Lord." So also 11, 14, 16, 18, 20, 21, 23. Drach. Ibid. Drusius, who does not mention Aquila; but that he translated it so in this place seems certain from the preceding. Ibid. After "prophet" it adds thus, "to inquire of him by me." The scribe seemingly, and thoughtlessly, omitted the obelus. For these (words) do not exist in the Hebrew. The Vulgate, however, has: "inquiring through him from me." And in the commentary of St. Jerome, the LXX is attributed to the men, "that he may inquire of him through me." And so also the Aldine and Complutensian. Idem. Ibid. LXX, C, V. 6. Instead of "to the house," C, with three editions, has "to the house." Hebr. and Vulg.: "to the house." Idem. Ibid. At the end of the clause, after "hear" it adds C, with the Aldine, "to me," which the Hebrew does not have. With St. Jerome, the LXX (and turn your faces) "to me." Idem. V. 8. "Another: 'for a sign'." Drusius. [C does not have "and for destruction." Also the Aldine and some others...]

Notes and various readings on Chapter XIV of Ezechiel: V. 1. Some codices have "for a sign" and in the proverbs. DRACH. V. 9. "The Three," "a word." Ms. Jes. reads thus: "if he shall have erred, and shall have spoken a word." So also Complut. But the Hebrew, "When a prophet shall have allowed himself to be persuaded to speak a word." DRACH. V. 10. "Another," "likewise," etc. Drusius. Thus also Theodoret and Complut., and according to the Polyglot Bible, certain mss. DRACH. V. 13. Hebrew and Vulg. have "and beast." LXX, C, and "beast." So also Complut. and some mss. DRACH. V. 15. After "devastation," C adds "and." And thus Alex., but the Hebrew does not have it. IDEM. V. 17. Thus: "even if a new sword," [About the "new sword," there is nothing in the Hebrew text; it is clear that the word is corrupted; surely through the carelessness of the scribes "EAN" (if) was transformed into "NEAN" (new)], "I will bring upon that land," and I will say: "Sword" (read without a comma: "I will say: Sword, let it pass through" [the Latin interpreter of the Tetrapla edition renders it poorly, "I will say with the sword,"] (and so the codd., Ald., and Complut. for our "let it pass") (and so also Alex., "let it pass across the earth, and I will cut off from it" [from them])... "of it" are. [The rest is as in the edition]. IDEM. V. 18. After "of it" C adds "are." So also Alex. and Ald. Vulg., "they shall have been." For "they shall be delivered," C, as Alex. IDEM. V. 19. Hebrew and Vulg., "I will have sent." Our LXX, "I will send." C, "I will send." So also Ald. and codd. Alex., IDEM. V. 20. After "of it" C adds "are," as Alex. and Ald. Vulg., "they shall have been." Cf. supra 18. IDEM. V. 22. Thus: "and behold, those left in it, they who have been delivered from it, sons and daughters, behold they go forth." The rest as in the edition. R. IDEM.

Before thy wickedness was discovered, as at the time of the reproach of the daughters of Aram, and of all that are round about it, the daughters of the Philistines, which encompass thee round about. 58. Thy wickedness and thy abominations thou hast borne them, saith the Lord God. 61. In thy daughters.

Notes and various readings on Chapter XVI of Ezekiel.

V. 3. Heb., Adonai Jehovah. O’, The Lord. C. as also Complut., Adonai K. So also 8, 14, 23, 30, 36, 59, 63. — For Chesath, he writes only one letter n. DRACH.

V. 4. A’, "thou hast not bound" etc. Ms. Jes. A’, indeed signifies the four Interpreters, A. (Aquila), S. (Symmachus), LXX, Th. (Theodotion). However, it is not present in the LXX today; but perhaps it had been added in the edition of Hexaplar of the Seventy, or perhaps, and this is more probable, A’ signifies tetrapla, so that the sense is that it is read thus in the Tetrapla. Concerning this matter, it occurs frequently in the book of Job. [The Chisian Codex, which exhibits the text of the Seventy according to the copies of Origen's Tetrapla with the greatest fidelity, does not have this reading, nor does the Syro-Hexaplar codex, neither in the text, nor by the name of any one of the three interpreters. Therefore, another explanation of the A’ must be resorted to here. We meanwhile, in the Latin version, in place of Montfaucon's "four int." or "Tetrapla," have substituted simply "iv." — Heb., "is not cut" (thy navel). For the passive form is indicated by the dagesh point unusually inscribed in the letter n. "Thou didst not bind thy breasts." They read TT, instead of our TW. C., as also Alex., Ald., "they bound." Complut., "thy navel was not cut." Ald. prefers both versions, "it was not cut." And so the LXX among St. Jerome, "thou didst not bind thy breasts, and thy navel was not cut." Thus also the Vetus Italica among Sabatier. Similarly, the author of the Imperfect Work on Matthew, Homil. 33, "thy navel is not cut, and they did not bind thy breasts." However, St. Jerome in his epistle to Eustochium consistently has, "thy navel is not cut."

Ibid. Heb. and Vulg., "and thou wast not washed in water unto health." yYw, according to Joseph Kimchi and other rabbis, sounds "for cleanliness," from the root yw. Chald. Paraphr., "for cleansing." Cf. Buxtorf, Lex. Talm. Chald. under [yYw]. But it can easily be deduced from the root yYw, "to save." Indeed, it can be pronounced in two ways: either lemischi (for lemischith, a Chaldaic form), and it signifies "unto health," or lemoschii, and it signifies "unto my Saviour." Hence arose two variant versions, of which neither has the edit. Rom. C., * "unto health." Thus also LXX among St. Jerome, Origen, Theodore, and Complut. Vetus Italica, and the modern Vulg., "unto health." And so the author of the aforementioned Imperfect Work. But the Alex. codex, "of my Christ." It clearly alludes to the future most saving Baptism, as St. Jerome and Theodore aptly explain. The author of the Imperfect Work also reads "Sacred Chrism" in our comma: "neither to oil were you anointed, so that we have these three of baptism, water, salt, and oil." But "neither to oil" etc., which, as it seems, was read in some ancient exemplars, from Isaiah 1,

SYMMACHUS. [COL. 2493] 53. And I will restore. The captivity of Samaria. [COL. 2494] 54. 56. . . . 57.

Before your wickedness was revealed, as in the time of the reproach of the daughters of Syria, and of all who are round about you, the daughters of the Philistines who encompass you on every side. 58. You shall bear your wickedness and your crimes, says the Lord. 61.

Thy impieties and thy iniquities you have borne, says the Lord. 61. For a building. Another, for a probation.

Notes and various readings on chapter XVI of Ezekiel.

V. 6. It must be said that this was taken and brought here. [DRACH.] V. 6. C, nor did thy eye spare thee. Even Origen and some MSS read: thy eye. The LXX according to St. Jerome, and the Old Italic, "thy eye." But the Roman edition and other copies read: "my eye." Both the Hebrew and the Vulgate read only: "the eye did not spare." In common parlance it can be expressed: "No one looked upon her with an eye of pity." At the end of the verse, C, "in the day."

V. 6. Scholion of the Roman edition: The Hebrew, "in the moisture" [i. e., thus calling the surrounding fluid or ichor]. Hebrew, and I said to you, In your blood live; and I said to you, In your blood live. C, adds: "And I said to you: In your blood life." Complutensian: "live, live, and I said to you: In your blood life." The Alexandrian is like the Roman edition. But after "life" it adds "your." [DRACH.]

V. 7. Theodoret has the reading of the Hebrew Interpreter from the Regius codex. Concerning the rest, hear Jerome: "Moreover, what Symmachus interpreted as 'and you reached the ornament of women'; or as Theodotion, 'and you went in for the ornament of ornaments,' for which we said, following the Hebrew sense, 'and you reached the womanly world,' etc." [Lamb. Bos: For Sym., Th., DRACH.]

V. 8. Reading of the Hebrew Interpreter from Theodoret. The rest is from Jerome, whose words we omit for the sake of brevity: for they show nothing else than what you see in the text. [Lamb. Bos: Aq. ed. 1, and Theod., "time of breasts." DRACH.] Ibid. Item from Jerome.

V. 10. A. and S., "ianthina" (violet). The LXX and Theodotion translated "hyacinthina" (hyacinth). For which in the Hebrew it is written THAS., Jerome. [L. Bos: For "hyacinthina," Aq. and Sym., "ianthina." DRACH.]

Ibid. Jerome: "Trichapton" for which Aquila [wrote] "florido" (flowery) or "palpabili" (palpable), Symmachus "indumento" (garment), Theodotion placed the Hebrew word itself, MESSE or MESSI. A little later Jerome says that "florido" belongs to the second edition of Aquila. Another (reading): "peridephion" (garment worn over), Regius codex. Origen indeed says that other Interpreters translated "anthimon" (flowered) and "ependyma" (garment). The first reading is Symmachus', the second Aquila's. Jerome discusses "trichapton" at length, and says it is a word compounded by the LXX. Theodoret says it is made of woven hair which is placed around women's heads. Coislin codex: which corresponds to the word for palpable, brought forward by Jerome. In the same place from Origen, another scholion.

^A

V. 19. Hebr., and it came to pass, saith Adonai Jehovah. The LXX, and it came to pass, saith the Lord. ^B And it came to pass after these things, saith Adonai K. And Ald. have "after these things," Orig. and Compl., Ad. K. IDEM.

V. 20. Thou hast taken, Aq. and Th., thou hast carried over, transtulisti. Sym., thou hast carried over, transtulisti. From L. Bos. IDEM.

Ibid. Hebr. and Vulg., (and thy daughters) which thou hast borne unto me. LXX, I ^C : And so some codices. IDEM.

V. 21. Jerome: ^D The LXX translated, and thou hast given them to appease, or to expiate; A., S. and Th. placed, thou hast carried over and conveyed them, because the heathens compel their children to either pass through or over by fire. [See the previous note on the preceding verse, where you have the Greek of these readings. Whether it is to be referred here or there? We dare not decide. DRACH.]

V. 22. Hebr., yet despite all thine abominations and thy fornications, thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, when thou wast naked and bare, (and) wast trodden under foot in thy blood. The Roman edition of the LXX agrees little. C, "This contrary to all thy fornication, and thy abominations; and thou didst not remember the days of thy youth, because thou wast naked and feeling shame, stained in thy..." and thy abominations. "The days of thy youth." Woe, woe unto thee, saith Adonai. [For a place of going forward, where they are accustomed to feed harlots.]

V. 25. O I’, Woe, woe unto thee etc. Ms. Jes. That this was added to the LXX from the edition of Theodotion, Jerome teaches. [C, Lord. Alex., Ald., Compl., Woe, woe unto thee. DRACH.]

V. 24. Jerome: "And again where we said, And thou hast built thyself a brothel, for which the LXX translated, And thou hast built thyself a habitation for fornication, Sym. and Theod. translated it *porneion* (brothel); Aquila, wishing to express the etymology of the Hebrew word, GOB, placed *bothynon*, which we can call a pit, that it may signify a ganea (a low brothel) for a sunken and dark cave, in which the lust of prostitutes is spent." But later Jerome reports the interpretations of the Hebrew word RAMA, such as are exhibited above in the text. The word Rama signifies "exalted" (high place), and says it signifies here a place of prostitution, so that the place of fornication may appear from afar to those wishing to commit fornication. Polychronius, however, says "Ecthema" (a place of coming out), as it were a place of prostitution, where they are accustomed to feed harlots.

V. 27. Jerome: "What we translated according to Sym. as 'wicked deeds,' Theodotion placed the Hebrew word itself, ZEMMA."

Ibid. Hebr., and behold I have stretched out (my hand). LXX, Compl., and some other codices, of which some, "I will stretch out." From the Polyglot Bible. DRACH.

Ibid. After "I will deliver" C adds "thee," which the Hebr. and Vulg. have, Orig., Alex., LXX according to S. Jerome, and the old Itala. IDEM.

V. 28. Hebr., (and thou hast played the harlot) with the sons of Assur. LXX, however, with Orig. and Compl., "unto the sons of A." LXX according to S. Jerome, and the old Itala, "unto the sons of Assur." IDEM.

Ibid. For "thou wert filled," it reads "thou didst fill." And so Ald. Compl., however, "thou wert filled" (otherwise, "thou didst fill"). Thus some codices. Theodoret, however, "the fornications." I do not know what the LXX read who translated, "the covenants."

Ibid. Ms. Jes. Compl.,

^C

V. 46. But this was... [C, contra the Hebrew text, and "her daughter." IDEM.]

V. 47. "Another," * "by a little as much." Ms. Jes. [C, "by a little as much." DRACH.]

Ibid. "Another," * "and thou didst destroy." Ms. Jes.

V. 48. "Living, says Adonai the Lord, if thy sister Sodom has done." Hebr., says Adonai Jehova, if thy sister Sodom has done. Alex., Ald., Compl., S. Jer., LXX, "says Adonai the Lord, if thy sister Sodom has done." DRACH.

V. 49. [C, (Rom. and Alex., Ald. and Compl., "they did not reach out." Ib.]

V. 50. C, "as thou sawest." The Hebrew, however, "as I saw." — : "I saw." They did not see, as some translate in Latin. "Appearance." IDEM.

V. 52. [B: "and thou." A., Θ., and * "indeed: thou." — : "thou didst destroy." Sym. "thou didst exceed." IDEM.]

V. 53. Sym., "I establish." Ms. [B: Sym., "therefore establishing." DRACH.]

Ibid. A., "captivity of Sodom..." Jerome: "First, there is restored the conversion, or captivity of Sodom, as Aquila interpreted: secondly, the captivity of Samaria, as the same Aquila and Symmachus translated." Lamb. Bos, however, on ^D notes: "Aq. and Sym." DRACH.

Ibid. For the former "of daughters," it reads "of sisters"; but it is repugnant to the Hebrew text. DRACH.

V. 54. "Another," "into my bringing." Ms. Jes.

Ibid. B: "thy suffering." A., "thy confusion." — : "thy ignominy." A., Θ., "and thou shall be disgraced." A., Θ., "and thou shalt be ashamed." — : "and thou shalt be confounded." — : "in thy provoking me." Sym., "consoling them." Hebr., "in consoling thee them." DRACH.

V. 55. After "from the beginning," C adds, "and Samaria and her daughters shall be restored, as they were from the beginning." The same have, with little difference, Alex., Ald., Compl., Theodoret. Yet it does not read, nor does the Vatican codex have them. But where these are lacking, they have without doubt been omitted due to a copyist's error [homoeoteleuton]. Hebr. and Vulg., "and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their antiquity." In S. Jer., LXX, "and Samaria and her daughters shall be restored as they were from the beginning." — : "they shall return." — : "as they were from the beginning." A., Θ., "to their ancient state." IDEM.

V. 56. We borrow the Latin interpretations of this and the following verses from Jerome: for in Greek they are nowhere extant. [Lamb. Bos thus exhibits the readings of Symmachus and Theodotion, and furthermore Aquila: "Add: Three," "Hic S. Jer.: Our translation corresponds to the edition of Aquila." Namely, that which now is in the Latin Vulg. This must also be said of the following vv. 57, 58. Further, on the words "there was," he notes: "that it did not come to pass." DRACH.]

V. 57. Before the first word "of daughters," it places "And," * and refers to the word "the." A., "training." Θ., "abhorring." Lamb. Bos: "For the evils, the shame, the evil." Sym., "As in the time of the reproach of the daughters." "As the time of the reproach of the daughters." Aq. and Th., "As in this time into a reproach of the daughters." And "of foreigners," — : "of the Palestinians." Th., "of those abhorring thee." DRACH.

V. 58. For "thou hast brought," others have, "bring, carry,"

and so S. Hier. and Theod. Lamb. Bos: "A., Th., and thy iniquity, and thy shame. Thy fornication, and thy pollutions. Thou hast borne them." ^A And for "thou hast borne," others have "thou didst bear," "thou shalt take." Others, "thou hast borne," "thou didst take." DRACH. V. 59. C, ^B "For" (thus it says). Heb. and Vulg., "For (thus it says)." — B: O', "thou hast dishonored these." A., S., "(thou hast dishonored) the curse." ^C Th., "the oath." Symm., "the curse." V. 60. B: O', "of thy childhood." The others, "of thy youth." O and II, "to thee." Another, "to myself." This also in Complut. Heb. however, "to thee." Idem.

In which sense it may equally be understood from the Hebrew. — In VM this verse begins with “and [I will lay] upon.” In the text, at the margin: *cod.*, up to “and salt,” and “you shall place the roasted [pieces] in a circle.” IDEM. ^B V. 6. C, “Says the Lord Adonai.” So also 14, 24. Ms., “and the rust,” without “and.” — B: O', “and the rust.” Another, “and the thing itself.” O', “he brought out.” The * [addit] “it.” Hebr. and Vulg., “it.” IDEM.

V. 7. A., “smooth stones.” Ms. Jes. perhaps for *smoothed stone*. In the text, *stone*. — Cod. Alex., *leopetrian*. Hesychius, *leopetra*. Suidas, *leopetrian, smooth stone*. *Leopetria, smooth stone*. *Leiometria, smooth stone*. *Leopetrian, trampled and trodden ground, and I will give you [as] a smooth stone, you shall be a cooling of nets*. — “that there is blood.” 2 m., “blood.”

C, “Then let it stand upon its coals.” *It was kindled, so that it might be burnt and heated, and its bronze might be scorched in its midst, and its impurity might be in it, and its rust might fail; its rust shall be humbled.” * [Hebr.] Addit. “upon its coals.” “Vain,” *it was kindled, that it might be burnt and heated, and its bronze might be scorched, and its impurity might melt in its midst, and its rust might fail, and its rust shall be humbled.” — B: O', “and may [it] fail.” S., “may [it] be consumed.” ^D “its [rust], and its rust shall be shamed.” —: O', “much is its rust.” A., “enmity,” upon its [rust] in the fire. — “Woe to the city of blood.” Ms. Jes. and Drusius: but the latter without the name of the interpreters.

A., Th., “and you were not cleansed,” etc. Ms. Jes. [C, The same in Theodoret, who reads *zemma*. Drusius writes *zemma* and thus more correctly, for the Hebrew name *zimma* is oxytone, and the final syllable is long. LXX near S. Jerome: *Your impurity ZEMMA, for that you have been contaminated and you are not cleansed from your impurity. And what shall it be if you are not cleansed further until I fulfill my fury in you?* And at the end he adds: “Mostly these things are added from Theodotion, and the Hebrew word ZEMMA, for which we have translated ‘exsecrable impurity’.”]

(*) This reading, placed out of its place in the ms. Jes., pertains to 13, where it coheres with the word *zimma*. DRACH.

^A Hebr.: In your uncleanness is lewdness (zimma), because I have cleansed you, and you were not cleansed; from your uncleanness you shall not be cleansed anymore until I cause my wrath to rest in you. It coheres with the word which the LXX, by the testimony of St. Jerome, passed over; Symm. rendered: an instrument. DRACH.

Ms. Jes., C, (Complut., and apud S. Hier., and I will not be entreated.) Soon after, he prefixes an obelus up to the end of the clause. S. Hier.: And that which was added by them, which is not held in the Hebrew, and is to be marked with an obelus: Therefore I will judge you according to your blood (it reads "and" here) and famous and excessive [I will judge you] according to your thoughts; you are unclean and famous and excessive to be judged. Pro— Ex Theodoret.

Ibid., etc. Ms. Jes. et Drusius. [C, the desires of the eyes, though without the word "the". Theodoret adds in his commentary on this place that some copies have certain things. Post, C adds these things, which are missing in the editions of Rome, and in Ms. Jes. they are held somewhat differently under the name of Theodoret, that your tear may not come. Complut., — B: O', and let not your tear come. Apud S. Hier., and your tears shall not come. In Hebrew, in the plague. DRACH.]

V. 17. Another, mourn in silence. Drusius. Ibid., etc. The same. [So also apud Theodoret, (otherwise, mourn, mourn) in silence. The word (dom) has been removed by the LXX, they say. — B (C, mourn in silence, do not make the mourning of the dead, bind your turban upon you. DRACH.]

V. 18. Another, and he died. Drusius. [So also apud Theodoret, in three editions and in C, without any notation. ^B Which is the one that follows: 18. And I spoke to the people in the morning—as he commanded me, and my wife died. DRACH.]

V. 19. C, with Complut., what are these things to us? Hebr., what are these things to us? — O', what you do. A., that you do. Hebr., because you do.

V. 20. VM, the word unto me. IDEM.

V. 21. C, and the desire of your eyes. IDEM.

V. 25. C, Etiam Complut., Hebr., Vulg., and apud S. Hier., did. The same.

V. ^C 25. C, And soon, look! Hebr., Vulg., joy. It refers to the word *naas*, which elsewhere Aquila, Symm. and Theod. translate as *taking*. IDEM.

Noted are various readings for chapter XXV of Ezekiel.

V. 2. ^C, *strengthen*, *strengthen*. In Hebrew it is not repeated. — ^B: 70′, *strengthen*. Aquila, Theodotion, *place*. Symmachus, *order*.

V. 5. ^C, *the word of Adonai Jehovah*. It is not present [in the Hebrew]. Hebrew, thus said Adonai Jehovah. [IDEM].

V. 4. ^C, *to the sons of the east*. On these words Drusius notes: Theodoret, *Sons of Kedem*, other interpreters said, *υἱοὺς ἀνατολῶν*, *sons of the East*. Scholion, what is this third Edition? Eusebius in *Locations*, Kedem in Ezekiel, which Aquila and Symmachus interpret as *the East*. Jerome in *Commentary* on this passage: "Therefore I also will deliver you to the sons of Kedem, whom we have interpreted as the Orientals." Nor is it in doubt that the Madianites and the entire desert wasteland lie adjacent to Arabia, who have herds of camels, etc. And soon after: "By the Madianites, Ismaelites and Hagarenes, who are now called Saracens, assuming for themselves falsely the name of Sara, as though they seem to be generated from a free-born and mistress woman, Scripture signifies." But that third Edition seems to have been brought about by a graphic error. For when it was read, *κατὰ δὲ τὴν γ' ἔκδοσιν*, someone may have read *Σαρακηνῶν* for *τριῶν*. And in truth the three Interpreters translated it *ἀνατολῶν*. B: Aquila, Symmachus, Theodotion, to the sons of the east. Idem codex (VM, 1 m., enclosures, caves, of them. DRACH.]

V. 5. ^C, *city of Ammon*. — ^B: 70′, *city*. [DRACH.]

V. 6. ^C, *the Lord Jehovah says... and you have struck*. The VM also has *and you have rejoiced*. As to the sense it is the same as *ἐπεχάρης*, you have rejoiced, or you have insulted; for S. Jerome [uses] both. — ^B: 70′, *thou hast clapped your hand*. Another, *clapped with your hand*. 70′, *and you have gloated*. Aquila, *in all [your] desire*. Theodotion, *with all those with you*. From your soul. And I will destroy you from the lands. And you shall know. [DRACH.]

V. 7. ^C, *for this behold I*. Hebrew and Vulg., *therefore behold I*. Soon after, *all the nations, house of Israel, and Judah*. VM, 1 m., devastation. Hebrew Chethib, *for food*, Keri, *for spoil*, in destruction. Both readings fall into the same sense. [IDEM].

V. 8. Aquila, Symmachus, Theodotion, *and Seir*. Ms. Jes. [S. Jerome: "This which we have interpreted, *and Seir*, is not in the LXX, but was added from the edition of Theodotion."] ^C, *and Seir; behold* (without *the* of the Roman edition, and it must be read without an interrogation) *as*... Merit is given to the obelus for *Isr.* and *and*, for they are not in the Hebrew. The LXX according to S. Jerome: *behold as all the nations of the house of Israel*. They are also missing in the Complutensian [edition]. [DRACH.]

V. 9. 70′, *house of Bethiesimoth*. On these words Drusius, *Another, Bethjesimoth*, etc. Scholion, the name of an idol *Baal* or *beth*, i. e., *house*. Two interpretations can therefore be [made]. And yet Jerome notes that the LXX translated it thus: "I know not," he says, "what the LXX wanted, interpreting it *Domum Bethiasimuth*, when this word signifies a deserted village." The same, a little later: "*Bethiesimoth* is interpreted *house of solitude and desert*." Ibid. *Another, the Baalmon*, etc. Drusius. [C, Bethiesimoth. VM, 1 m., Bethiesimoth. IDEM].

EZEKIEL CHAPTER XXVI.

^A 15. In wrath. From the soul, to destroy unto one. Another, to destroy unto the age. Another, to destroy from the soul by eternal enmity. 16. Cretans.

Notes and various readings on Chapter XXV of Ezekiel.

VH, *above the fountain*. 1 m., *of the abduction*. Apud S. Hier., *the house of Beth-Iasimuth*. And in the commentary, *Beth-lesimoth* (according to his own version, and thus it is read in the Hebrew), which is interpreted, *house of solitude and desert*, and *Beelmeun* (בעל מעון), which itself also is translated, having a fountain, or *above the fountain*, and *Cariatbaim* (Chethib: קריתים, Keri however: קריתים), which the LXX translated as a *maritime city*. Both interpretations are conjoined in Theodoret; for after *above the fountain*, he adds *of the city*. The LXX (add), Hebrew and Vulgate, "from the cities, of the cities (I say) of his." — O, "above the fountain of a maritime city." A., Th., *Beelmeun and Cariathaim*.

V. 10. "An." *I have given it*. Drusius. [Also in Theodoret, *it* is added]. B., "Another, *I have given it*." A., Th., *among the nations*. [C, *among the nations*. Apud S. Hier., *among the nations*. Drach.]

V. 12. *Thus saith the Lord God*. (43, 14, 15, 16, 17.) Ms., *punishment* in them. O', *vengeance*. S., *wrath*. "And they have executed punishment." A., Th. *and in them*. S., *upon them*.

V. 14. B: a, *by hand*. S., *by hand*. — O', *my vengeance*. S., *my wrath*. Drach.

V. 15. "An.", *in wrath*. I found in a certain copy "punishment in wrath" written, and some read this interpretation with an acute accent on "wrath." But in truth it is written "upon the wrath." "To destroy" [to wipe out].

Notes and various readings on Chapter XXVII of Ezekiel.

V. 2. C, * And you, O son of man. VM, son of man. DRACH. ^D V. 3. There are some who think it should be read as "in the islands," instead of "by the islands"; for the Hebrew text has not "in," but "to." But R: A., Th., to the islands, and Vulg., to the islands. We prefer that it should be replaced in the LXX. ... furthermore, "perfect beauty." ... "crown of beauty." Hebr., I (am) perfect beauty. C, says Lord Lord. IDEM. V. 4. * The boundaries (borderers), etc. Ms. Jes. [B: A., your boundaries... to Beelim] S., your boundaries, building, completed your beauty. The LXX, translating "your sons" (in the Hebrew text, *banaich*), read this in the Hebrew text. But with the Masoretic vowel points it should be pronounced *bonuich* (your builders). DRACH.] V. 5. VM writes *elicea*. Ad hanc *Senum* vocem, *elatinous*, he notes: Schleusner opines, and not badly, that the Elders wrote *taneai*, long and thick planks, which suits this very well. The word *taneai* is found in Theophrastus in *Historia Plantarum*, book iv, chap. 4. Meibomius also restored it thus, *Fabr. Trirem.* p. 127. *Thesaurus Graecus*, edit. Didot: *taneai*, stretched-out beams. From a faulty Greek exemplar Jerome translated, thin cypress boards. DRACH. V. 6. The rest, your horn. Ms. Jes. [B: A., your horn, your antenna. Schleusner: Perhaps it should be read as your antenna. He wishes *Serum* to be replaced, *zyga*, i.e., your thwarts made of ebony. - C, made of ivory and Hittim. VM, *Basaneido* - Hittim. DRACH.] Ibid. A., adorned with boards. Theodoretus. V. 7. C, ‡ your bedding, for you to set upon you glory, and to clothe you in blue and purple from the islands of Elisa became your covering (without your... ). Apud S. Hier.: from the islands of Elisa were your coverings made. Hebr., Byssus with embroidery from Egypt was your covering, that it might be for a sign to you. Hyacinthine and purple from the islands of Elisa was your covering. DRACH. V. 8. Theodor. [VM, Sidon. - C, ‡ And your rulers: O, your steersmen. A., *psophopolai*, scrutarii, i.e., sellers of small wares; in French, *merciers*. For our Hebrew noun can be translated, rope, cord. Doederlein shows in the singular spelling, who is the Syrian? T. The Greek interpreter; by the name of Syrian, is to be understood not a Syriac interpreter, but Sophronius the Patriarch of Constantinople, who translated into Greek Jerome’s interpretation made from the Hebrew. Cf. vol. 1, col. 37, 38, regarding this matter, Montfaucon. DRACH.] V. 9. After the second "of them," there is added by Theodoret...

Notes and miscellaneous readings on chapter XXVII of Ezekiel.

V. 13. Again, instead of "these, these," in the end of the clause thus: "thy merchandise." B: [LXX], i.e., they themselves Hebrews. In the end of the verse, for "to trade thy merchandise." Cf. Symmachus about to be cited—B: [LXX] ^D *thine imports*. Eamnd. thou hast the Hebrew word *maʿarav*, which is above in v. 9. And here otherwise, but more correctly, the Elders interpret. A., thy exchange. S., thy commercial intercourse. Th., thy mixed goods. DRACH.

V. 14. Another: "and mules." Drusius. [C, And so the Hebrew, and among St. Jerome: they gave horses and horsemen and mules. Editio Rom.: Theodoretus: they interpret Phrygia (so the V.M. while they have *Thogarma*). — B: thy market. A., thy remnant. Namely, he derives the vocabulary from the word *ʿazab*, he left. DRACH.]

V. 15. A., S., Th., the sons of Dadan. Jerome: "For which I know not what the LXX wanted, interpreting them as the sons of the Rhodians—unless perhaps by reason of the false similarity of the first letters, so that for *Dadan* they read *Radan*: and the island itself is the greatest, and in the Ionian sea a once most powerful city, etc." And presently: "But it is better to accept *Dadan* as the name of another place, as it is held also in the Hebrew and among the other Interpreters." [B: [LXX]... that is to say, they add according to the Hebrew text, which has both. Most books and Theodoret... Theodoret subjoins: which are called ebony.]

^A And for ebony they returned your exchanges, horns of ivory, [and] in Aphec. ^B Symmachus: your exchange. Theodotion: Naphec, was of "ookêd" (a slave), of slave laborers. — In Apheg, in stacte and purple. ^C But stacte [in the form] "phec," he calls that which is called balsam. [And for] "neg." Symmachus: "phanag". Theodotion: "phenen". — The Seventy: for your composite [wares]. Aquila: your exchange. [By the price of wheat, and of] cassia, and first honey: — resin, and galbanum. [B: Aquila: in wine of Galbanum. Symmachus: in fat wine. Galbanum: but the name Chelbon, Symmachus interpreted as Galbanum. Wool from Miletus (or wool of Miletus). Theodotion: Symmachus: ...] ^D Damascene: your merchant, in the multitude of your works, he [was] from the multitude of all your power; wine from Chelbon, and wool from Miletus, and wine, and Dan and Javan [and] Meuzel: into your market they gave. From Ashel and Javan, and Meuzel, into your market they gave. [From Meuzel] from Uzal. Aquila, Symmachus, Theodotion: in the multitude of your works. The Seventy: of your power. The others: wine from Chelbon. Aquila: in wine of Galbanum. Symmachus: in fat wine. And Lamoth. Rammoth. Damoth. [Theodoret, etc., to] your merchandise. Aquila: Edom (even he reads [a word] for [the word for "merchandise"] and has very many copies, which the Arabs and the Hexaplaric Syriac follow. See De Rossi for various readings). Your merchants. Symmachus, Theodotion: Syria... And of your composite [wares]. Aquila: of the works of your works, in Aphek. Theodotion: your exchange. Symmachus: "polymita" (brocaded work). — The Seventy: stacte. The others: purple. Aquila: and woven work. The others: purple. ^A "Chorchor." Another: "korchor," the [word]... ^B — The Seventy: your market. Aquila: in your remnants. And wheel, [for] wheels. (Wheels) in the composite work that is yours, [and] they brought... [They rendered] Meuzel, or Uzal, [or] Iouzan. Into your market. Aquila: in your remnants. The Seventy: cord. Symmachus: stacte. Theodotion: "kaidia." The Seventy: and "trozias." The others: and reed. [The Seventy]: it is. Aquila: was. Symmachus: became. Theodotion: originated. V. 20: The Seventy: with choice cattle. Aquila: in embroidered garments. Theodotion: (in clothing and garment) in a mantle. Kedar, these [were] your merchants, by your hand, camels and rams, and lambs, and ebony, returns [for] your remunerations. Hebrew: and ebony returned your gift. From this it is proved that Theodoret erred. For [it is] not Symmachus' [rendering] for, as it were, "Keri" (the variant reading) "hobnim," but it is referred to "qarnoth" (horns). Hebrew is "hobnim." Yet the Seventy, interpreting, "and with those being brought," read "de-nith'alin." DRACH.] V. 16. The Seventy read "adam" (men), whom they translate [as] men, as often elsewhere. Ibid. Ms. Jes. "Polymita" (brocaded work). Jerome: In Naphec, which [is] added in the Septuagint from the edition of Theodotion: for which Symmachus translates "polymita". But that which is read in some Latin books as "in Aphec," and in Greek "en Aphek," when it should be read "Naphec" according to the Hebrew, [is] due to the concurrence of two Ns, as often happens; for then one is usually omitted by copyists. [Drusius: Theodotion, in Napex (paroxytone). There is reason why I prefer it with an X at the end, to correspond to the "caph" among the Hebrews. The Vulgate writing, "en Aphek" (oxytone), contains a defect, such as [the one] for "Nooche," [where] in both places the similar final [letter] excluded the following one. "Hy Nooche," is [found] among the Seventy, IV Kings 1, 4; for which the Complutensian, [the] C, [and] the Complutensian [read] "Aphek." Among St. Jerome, in Aphec. And in his commentary he writes "in Aphech." DRACH.] Ibid. The others, "porphyran" (purple). From Jerome. [Among Theodoret, in the Complutensian and in certain others, both are placed. This is an interpretation of the Hebrew word "nefeq" (and better "nofeq," and indeed paroxytone as in Hebrew), which is derived from "puku," stibium, antimony. "Stacte," says Theodoret, [is] in other places a species of gem. See what J. Braunius argues learnedly about this word in his famous work, *De vestitu sacerdotum Hebr.*, lib. 2, cap. 11. But the Hebrew text has "purple." Therefore we cannot agree with St. Jerome writing: "Stacte also, for which all others have interpreted purple, which in Hebrew is called ARGAMAN." DRACH.] ^C ...it is placed among the Hebrews, [they] translated: for which the Seventy [have] "unguenta" (ointments), we translate "balsam." [B: Aquila, "phee"... And thus he interprets the same Hebrew word as above, v. 43. — C, and sons, without... It is also VM...]. V. 18. Jerome: "For fat wine, which Symmachus has translated, and among Aquila and Theodotion, and in the Hebrew itself, [it] has '[the] wine of Helbon'." Others, "Chelbon." Theodoret and Polychronius say [that] Symmachus translated [it as] "fat wine," which [is] perhaps another interpretation of Symmachus, as elsewhere not infrequently. Among Theodoret both are joined, "fat wine from Chelbon," and the same Theodoret attributes the reading to Symmachus. His words are... DRACH.] Ibid. Aquila, Theodotion, and with wool of Soor. Jerome. [B: The Seventy, [VM, m.], (wool of) Soor. (Wool) of splendor. Lamb. Bos, Aquila and Theodotion, "in wools"; Soor; what however [is] above in the text, Montfaucon [has] made into Greek on his own. Hebrew: "white wool," or, as Bochart wants in *Hieroz.*, part 1, lib. 2, cap. 43; compared with the Arabic "thaww," extremely white wool. But "Miletum" is not in the Hebrew. Ald. "wool] of M."; Complut., "wool of M." He cites v. 19: etc. Hebrew: "Damascus [was] your merchant in the multitude of your works, because of the multitude of all strength (i.e. of all wealth); in wine [of] Chelbon and white wool. v. 19. And Dan and Javan [and] Meuzzal (which Hebrew word is interpreted variously by various [people]) in your trade gave iron etc." In many [copies] and among Theodoret it is: Lamb. Bos, Aquila, Symmachus, "taking away" (Which Greek [words] were not available to Montfaucon). Both do not badly correspond to the Hebrew. Theodoret says that some think Azel is Asia. St. Jerome, "Dan and Javan and Mozel in your markets," which [is] added in their edition (LXX) from Theodotion. —: [The Seventy], as in C. [In the] multitude of your power, and without your merchant, which is wanting in the Hebrew, as thou hast seen above.—, DRACH.] Ibid. All, "and byssus." Also from Jerome. [Ed. Rom., "Tharseis." Cod. Alex., "Tharseis." Ald. and Complut., "Tharseis." And VM, "Tharsis." Which latter adds Alex., Ald., Complut., "Ramoth." Again among Theodoret both are placed, "and byssus and embroidery." And thus the Complutensian.] Ibid. Aquila, "serica" (silken), or "fine [fabrics]." Jerome. Ibid. All, "Chodchod." Jerome, who says this word is very obscure among the Hebrews [and] is held for merchandise of whatever is most precious [the list]. [The readings are taken from cod. B: The Seventy, "men [of] trade" (C, "in trade" (even he reads "merchants" for "men," and very many copies have [it], which the Arabs and the Hexaplaric Syrus follow. See De-Rossi for various readings). Your merchants. Symmachus, Theodotion: Syria ... — The Seventy: of your composite [wares]. Aquila: of the works of your works, in Aphec. Theodoret: your exchange. Symmachus: brocaded work. — The Seventy: stacte. The others: purple. Aquila: and woven work. The others: purple. "Chorchor." Another: "korchor," the [word]... — The Seventy: your market. Aquila: in your remnants. And wheel, [for] wheels (wheels) [that] is in your composite [work], they brought... Meuzel, [or] Uzal, [or] Iouzan. Into your market. Aquila: in your remnants. The Seventy: cord. Symmachus: stacte. Theodotion: "kaidia." The Seventy: and "trozias." The others: and reed. The Seventy: it is. Aquila: was. Symmachus: became. Theodotion: originated. V. 20: The Seventy: with choice cattle. Aquila: in embroidered garments. Theodotion: (in clothing and garment) in a mantle. Kedar, these [were] your merchants, by your hand, camels and rams, and lambs, et ebenos (and ebony) returned your remunerations. Hebrew: and ebony returned your gift. From this it is proved that Theodoret erred. For [it is] not Symmachus' [rendering] for, as it were, "Keri" (the variant) "hobnim," but it is referred to "qarnoth" (horns). Hebrew is "hobnim." Yet the Seventy, interpreting, "and with those being brought," read "de-nith'alin." DRACH.] V. 17. Aquila, Symmachus, Theodotion, and for "phanag." Jerome: "The Hebrew word PHANAG, Aquila, Symmachus, Theodotion, as among the Hebrews..." V. 19. Theodoret, Dan and Javan etc. These things also according to Jerome. [Add what we have noted regarding the preceding verse: C, (ed. Rom., [in] the [composite] work (which however is expressed in Hebrew). B: Aquila, Theodotion (for... or vacant. Aquila... I.e., the Hebrew word itself "qesi'ah," meaning cassia, [it] is not. Hebrew: "calamus." DRACH.] V. 20: [The Seventy, with] choice cattle. Aquila, in garments of liberty (Hebrew: in garments of liberty. But what the Elders read is difficult to divine). Symmachus, in garments of mantle. Theodotion, (in clothing and garment) in a mantle. The word "tosh" can be translated into liberty and into a couch (toseb) according to the diversity of the vowels. DRACH.] V. 21. [The Seventy,] and all the princes of Kedar, these [were] your merchants (without [the word] "your") by your hand, [with] camels and rams, and lambs, (and thus also VM...)

^B V. 22. Saba and Raama. VM, Saba and Rama. ^C — Aquila, * as / the Seventy, merchants, as if they were merchants — of spices. Aquila, aromatics. Theodotion, of valuables. Aquila, Symmachus, Theodotion, precious [things]. V. 23. Saba and Assur. Drusius, [and] Charran, and Chana, (VM, and Charrha and Chanaa) * and Dadan, [and] Dedan in Aedan, these [were] your merchants [of] Saba, Assur, and Chalmad (VM, Chalman), [were] your merchants. The [version of the] Three, Saba. ^D In hidden wares; for thus also the Syrian having understood [it] interpreted: but he says immediately [it was] precious, and variegated [and] covered by precious wrappings, and stored away in excellently equipped vessels, and bound with ropes, it was deemed for you. Aquila, and variegated [things], and in hidden [wares]. It signifies, in hidden vessels. ...you were filled with hyacinth in Machalim and Galima, hyacinth and variegated [work], and precious treasures, stored in hidden [wares], and bound with ropes (bound [with] ropes), and in cypress ships (cypress ships) [in] them [in which] is your merchandise, [the] ships of the Carthaginians in your merchandise, in the multitude of [your] mingled [wares] (your mingled [ware]). But that [which is found] in Machalim, Aquila thus interpreted: in prepared wrappings; but that [which is found] in [the] hidden [wares] he Hellenizes from the Hebrew, and it signifies: in hidden vessels; for thus also the Syrian interpreted. Symmachus, in precious wrappings. Symmachus, purple, polymita (multi-colored [work]). Variegated [things], variegations, bearing merchandise * in Malacheim and in Galima, hyacinth, and variegated [work], and precious treasures, bound with ropes and cypress [ships] * in them, [in which] is your merchandise, the Three, bearing merchandise.

The Three, and you were heavily weighed down. Aquila, Theodotion, and you were greatly glorified. ^A [They] were, and your mingled [people] from your mingled [wares], and those who mingle, the mingling [of] your [wares]. — The [version of the] Seventy: [they] were your forces. Aquila, Theodotion, your wealth. Symmachus, your substance. The Seventy, and your wages, and [of] your mingled [people]. Aquila, and your remnant, your exchanges. Symmachus, your stores, and your mingling. Theodotion, and your marketplace, your mingled [people]. — The Three, and your counselors. Aquila, those who strengthen your repair. Theodotion, those who strengthen your breach (Hebrew, bedek). Symmachus, and your mingled [people] from your mingled [wares]. Symmachus, and [those] who mingle [the] mingling [of] your [wares]. The Three, your assembly. Theodotion, your church. — [They] were: your warriors [were] within you; and all your assembly, as the [one] in your midst. ^B V. 28. * toward: [at] the sound of your crying. ... [will be shaken]. Symmachus, they will be shaken from afar. Theodotion, the tribes will be shaken. V. 29. From the ships * of them [their ships] — [The version of the] Seventy, and the passengers. Symmachus, sailors. And the, [the] Seventy, and the pilots. The [version of the] Three, * and all the / helmsmen. [The] helmsmen will howl. Aquila, Theodotion, and they will make [a sound of] hearing. Symmachus, and they will make [a] hearing. [They will cry out] bitterly. Theodotion, bitterly. — The [version of the] Seventy, they will lie down. Aquila, they will roll. Another, they will lie [down] underneath. V. 31. Theodotion, * and they will make themselves bald and will be shaved. V. 32. Theodotion, * and [the sons of them] will take [up] ... Another, who is like Tyre? [they] will make [themselves] bald. [The sons of them], [the version of the] Seventy, silenced. Aquila, as [the] height of it. And [the] sons of them will take [up a lamentation] over you. V. 33. + all: [thy] kings. ^C [The] Seventy, how much wages did you find from the sea. Aquila, in the going out [of] your remnant (from the sea). Symmachus, in the being brought forth [of] your addition (from the sea). Theodotion, in the trading [of] your marketplace from [the] days. [The version of the] Seventy, from your multitude. Theodotion, from your wealth. — [The version of the] Seventy, and from your mingled [ware]. Aquila, and from your exchange. [Your exchange]. Aquila, your exchange. [They will be amazed] with amazement, and their face will weep ... they fell — all your rowers, [the version of the] Seventy, they recognized [thee]. Theodotion, they wondered. — [The version of the] Seventy, [they] stood [in] amazement. Symmachus, they will grind [their] teeth with shivering. ^D V. 36. Another, merchant of [the] nations, they hissed at you. — [The] Three, they hissed at you [some say, they were amazed]. Symmachus, they shall hiss at you. — [The version of the] Seventy, you became [a] destruction, and you shall no longer be for [the] age. Theodotion, you became [a] haste, and you shall not [continue] for [the] age.

S., every precious stone has fenced thee. — O', thou hast filled thy treasures. DR.] V. 13. Jerome: "This is to be observed: that the King of Tyre was not surrounded, or covered, with every precious stone, and as Symmachus translated, bound and constricted: but that every stone which the Prince of Tyre had, was precious." And a little later: "But also A., S. and Th. ^C in the present place differ much among themselves and from the LXX interpreters, not only in order, but in number and in names." And with many [words] interjected: "Furthermore, the interpretation of Symmachus writes that this Prince of Tyre is distinct, as if with precious stones [laid out] as a necklace. Finally, he calls it a drum of gold, in which stones are fixed." Hence Drusius thinks, but not without some doubt, that Symmachus translated, "the work of thy drums," which also seems likely to me. [C, thou wast born. And soon he expunges with an obelus ÷ what is missing in the Hebrew.—Lamb. Bos: Symm., thou wast distinct (perf. pass. of the verb to distinguish). In place of "the twelve." Cf. St. Jerome; whose words Montf. has just brought, [the prince] being distinguished [by stones].

V. 10. *Another*, into a void desert etc. Drusius, who suspects it should be read as dry. He would have better said empty; although I do not see why there is need to suspect it here, since it excellently expresses a void and empty desert. He then proceeds: LXX and Jerome read *ch-r-b* (with a double segol), for they translated it "sword" [or "desolation"]. Thus the varying codices of Ps. ix. For in others it is *ch-r-b*, sword, which the Greeks read. In others, however (with camels hatheph), *chorboth*, destructions, wastestates. Furthermore, Ps. vii 13. Symmachus translates... Schol. "The Hebrew, MAGDAL. So it seems Jerome also read it; but it is a proper word: for the tower, which is called MAGDAL in Hebrew, the LXX placed the name of the place, so that they might write *Magdolon*. However, the tower of Syene remains to this day, a fortress of the Roman subjection, where there are the cataracts of the Nile, up to which place the Nile travels in our sea. But perhaps Jerome wrote *Magdol*. Sometimes this word is taken appellatively for a tower. Sometimes it is a proper name of a place. Thus far Drusius. (they add), DRACH. (sic) Hebr., desolation... IDEM. C, IDEM. And it is, the Three add *there*, and in place of the word *beginning* they translate [Hebr., there is the kingdom]. Idem. IDEM. C, Hebr., you shall be humble.

And so it is today, because many things from the Hexaplar edition remained in the common text. [C thus: In S. Hier., because the day is near, and the day of the Lord is near, a day of a cloud. Hebr., because the day is near, and the day of Jehovah is near, a day of a cloud. B: A., O., Θ., ✻ that near (adds to this), which is likewise added in Theodoret, in this way, DR.] Ibid. Drusius.

Hier., and they shall take away his multitude. furthermore: and there shall be trouble in Ethiopia (without 'earth,' which is missing in the Hebr.), and they shall fall. DRACH.] V. 5. The same. Here, however, Jerome, when he says: "Commonly concerning various peoples and Chuth, which Symmachus translates as Arabia;" he seems indeed to slip: for Arabia here undoubtedly corresponds to the Hebrew word 17, and not to the word immediately preceding or following 15. However, this is not written by the mistake of a librarian: for with many things interpolated Jerome says, "and Chub, i.e., the Arabs. [Montfaucon incorrectly transcribed Chuth, and thus after him...

^A And all Arabia. In the wall. The end of the nations shall be. Another, the time of the nations shall be. Its multitude. Hasting. In Sin. The hope.

Notes and various readings on Chapter XXX of Ezechiel:

...of the Tetrapla, although Saint Jerome has "Chub." Among Theodoret, this reading seems to look back to the Hebrew "Chub." How however the Seventy translate this, it is not easy to say, for they invert the order. Nor do they omit them, as Rosenmüller believes, who does not attend to the fact that the Seventy express so many nations as the Hebrew text does, namely, six. i.e., they add before ... they shall fall. [Drach.]

V. 6. And the Lord says: and they shall fall, etc. Hebrew: so said Jehovah. And: the supports. Another, Symmachus: those who support. And it shall be brought down. Theodotion: and it shall be demolished. The arrogance. Another, Symmachus: the pride. From Magdolos. Another, Symmachus: from a tower. Cf. above chap. XXIX. And I will destroy them and their cities in the midst of the cities of the lands. Another: cities. The same. Drach.

V. 9. Theodotion: from my face, etc. These readings proceed from Drusius and from the manuscript of Isaiah. Jerome, Theodotion: in Sin. Symmachus: hastening. This manuscript of Isaiah has it thus: from my face [sic]. Drusius, however, has it thus:... The scholiast at this place from

^B. V. 10. Theodotion: I will destroy the multitude. The other versions: and the multitude. V. 11. Theodotion: with him. Hebr. and Vulg.: with him. B: with him. Then Theodotion: they shall pour out all: it is missing in Hebrew and in the Vulg. [...] inexpugnabiles, gentium. [Hebr., strongest of the nations. - O', and they shall pour out. S., and they shall strip. - O', of the wounded. S., of the stricken. Idem.]

V. 12. A., O., ⁎ and I will recompense etc. Ms. Jes. [It is also read in Theodoret. In S. Jerome, And I will deliver the land into the hand of the wicked. Drach.]

V. 15. O., ⁎ and I will destroy the abominations. Idem. [It is the reading of the three editions, i. e., the Alexandrine, Aldine, and Complutensian. S. Jerome likewise, in his commentary, from the LXX: And I will destroy the abominations and make the princes to cease. He has the same under the asterisk. The same C, and the prince from the land of Egypt (but the Alexandrine and Complutensian have ...); Hebr. “And a prince from the land of Egypt there shall be no more, and I will put fear in the land of Egypt.” For “abominations” Tetraplorum. Drach.]

V. 14. A., S., O., in No. Concerning these words, Jerome: “And I shall execute, he says, your judgments in Alexandria, which is so called today. For the rest, it has the original name No, which Aquila, Symmachus, and Theodotion have translated just as it is placed in the Hebrew. For which I do not know why the LXX, wishing to do something, called it Diospolis, which is a small city of Egypt. We, however, instead of No have put Alexandria by anticipation, which in Greek is called *prolepsis*, according to that Virgilian line: *Lavinaque venit litora* [And the Lavinian shores he reached]: not that at the time when Aeneas came into Latium they were called Lavinian, but because later they were so named, so that the passage might be made clearer to the reader’s understanding.” [Lamb. Bos has No. A., Banô. I. e., the Hebrew name No, with the servile letter affixed. In No. O., in Noi (without the accent...)]

These things, however, he said verbatim in the 19th volume of the Commentaries on Ezekiel: "It seems that this prophecy was placed consecutively after the one before it, and this also was spoken in the 12th year, being similarly to that one, and according to the prophecy having been made in the 12th month. But not similarly as to the day. For that one was spoken on the first of the month; but this one on the 15th of the month, wherefore we dared to remove the 'of the 1st month,' as it was totally senselessly placed." ...

Notes and various readings for chapter XXXV of Ezekiel.

V. 2. C: "And prophesy ^D against it." DRACH. V. 3. C: "I will give you a desert." Save for "thou," which in the VM is missing, but is an addition. IDEM. V. 4. C, and in Theodoret: "and in your cities."

^A Notes and various readings on the thirty-fourth chapter of Ezekiel. V. 16. C, "that which is wandering I will bring back." So also in the Alex., Ald., and Complut. editions. Then, for "and the fat," the Hebrew and Vulgate, "and that which is fat." IDEM. V. 17. C, "And you, O my sheep." Hebrew and also St. Jerome: "my sheep." Soon, for "I judge," the VM has here (and in verses 20, 22) "I will judge." Theodoret has "I will judge." The Hebrew reads thus: "between cattle and cattle," or "between ram and he-goat." My version is consonant with this. IDEM. V. 18. VM, "you troubled," [for] "you were troubled." IDEM. V. 19. C, IDEM. V. 20. C, "Thus saith the Lord God" (Hebrew, "to them") IDEM. V. 21. C, "and with your horns you butted... all that was lacking." Theodoret and others have the same, but for "you thrust out," [the Hebrew implies] "you drove out." Hebrew, "and with the horns of [your] strength you have weakened all that were sick, until you dispersed them abroad." IDEM. V. 23. A, Θ, ⁂ "and he himself." Ms. Jes. [C, "David, he shall feed them," ⁂ "and there shall be to them a shepherd."] V. 25. A, Θ, ⁂ "in the wilderness" (Theodoret adds ⁂ "and they shall be confident," which addition is also in Theodoret). Hebrew, "dwelling in confidence." DRACH. V. 26. A, Θ, ⁂ "a blessing." IDEM. [C, "of my mountain" ⁂ "a blessing," ⁂ "and I will give the rain to you; there shall be rains of blessing." Cf. with Theodoret, "and I will send down the rain to you in its season; there shall be rains of blessing." DRACH.] V. 27. "Another," "the collars of their yoke," "their row." Another, "the collar of the yoke." [C, "to them." For "they shall be eaten" [they read] "they shall appear"; this modification of the word, for which the Hebrew truth has no warrant, we charitably attribute to the recklessness of the scribe; for what will ignorance not dare? DRACH.] V. 29. "Another," "for a name." The LXX who translate [this] seem to have read *inversis literis* [as "the plant" instead of "a name"]. [C, so also the Complutensian. DRACH.] V. 30. A, Θ, "with them." [So also in C, in the text, under the asterisk. The same at the end of the verse, "saith the Lord God." DRACH.] V. 31. "Another," "and you, O my sheep," etc. Drusius. [C, "and the sheep of my pasture" ⁂ "you are men," "and I am the Lord your God," saith the Lord, "sheep of my pasture" (once K.). The same in Theodoret, unless it has "sheep of my pasture." From these words of the Hebrew text—"homo vos," i. e., "you are men," which are wanting in our LXX—the rabbis in the Talmud, in the Zohar, and elsewhere frequently, gather that only the Jews are humans, while all persons of the other nations are nothing else than beasts. DRACH.]

Ezekiel Chapter XXXV

Notes and various readings on the thirty-fifth chapter of Ezekiel.

^D It is wanting) ^A (So also in Theodoret. In Hebrew, "in the time of their affliction, in the time of iniquity," at the last. So also in Theodoret; these latter things are from IDEM. Drusius, after the Roman edition, quotes from verse 4, where the Roman edition of the LXX [has] in your cities, and in your cities. Verse 5, in you [as] an eternal enemy, and [as] an eternal enemy. In the hand of the sword, in the hand of the enemies, by the sword. Let it suffice to have noted these things. These are the readings of Drusius, brought into the Notes of the Roman edition, are contained in the Complutensian, with but a little difference at verse 5, where ^B in the Greek it is not found.

V. 6. Symmachus, "your blood," etc. Drusius. But Jerome [gives] the Latin version of Symmachus. [At the end of the verse he adds C, ⁂ "if you have not hated blood, and blood shall pursue you": Which addition is also possessed by Theodoret. But these things are lacking in our LXX; for what Montfaucon wrote back refers to what precedes in the Hebrew, ^C as noted in Draco.]

V. 7. Another, "going," etc. Drusius. Jerome however [translates] into Latin, "going and returning." [In Theodoret—]

The same elsewhere: "Bama" signifies singular "high," and "Bamoth" "high things." Eusebius on the Places: "Bama" Aquila always renders as "high." V. 3. C, instead of ⁂ and instead of : (which repetition is also in the Hebrew). It does not have "to be hated," for which the Hebrew [has] "to swallow." DRACH. V. 4.

Notes and various readings on Chapter XXXVII of Ezechiel

V. 1. ^A On this place Drusius notes: יתציאני ברוח יהוה. These words are ambiguous. For they can be translated: "And the LORD led me out in the spirit: and, he led me out, to wit, the hand of the LORD, in the spirit of the LORD." Both interpretations exist in the Greek codices. Jerome, however, followed this latter one in his version. To weaken which, the masculine verb הוציא "he led out" is used, although the noun יד "hand," which signifies hand, is feminine in common usage. The words of Jerome in his commentary: "And he led me out in the spirit of the Lord," understand "the hand of the Lord."

C, "I will bring up flesh upon you." With VM. Vulg., "flesh." IDEM. V. 7. ^C Drusius notes, *καὶ ἐγένετο φωνή*, where LXX have only *καὶ ἐγένετο*. But *קול פלו* "a voice" is expressed in the Hebrew.

LXX INTERPRETES. 1. And the Lord brought me out in the Spirit. Another: And He brought me out in the Spirit of the Lord. 9. Come from the four winds. And breathe upon these dead. 10. A great gathering. 12. You from your graves. Another: you from your sepulchers, My people. 22. Of them. Another: one king over them all. 23. And in their abominations, and in all their iniquities.

25. And their sons, and their sons' sons. 26. And I will give them, and I will multiply them.

Notes and various readings on Chapter XXXVII of Ezekiel.

^B "Very greatly" once. [C, "A great gathering very greatly" and "very greatly." Apud S. Hier., "vehementer nimis." Hebr., "virtus magna valde valde." DRACH.] V. 11. C, "they say," without "and," which is also missing in the Hebr. and Vulg. DRACH. V. 12. Another: "You from your graves" etc. Drusius. [C, "Apud S. Hier., from your sepulchers, My people. And above C: 'And say to them: Thus says the Lord Lord.' DRACH."] V. 13. C, "and you shall know" that I brought you "up from your graves, My people." DRACH. V. 14. C, "And I will give My Spirit... that I the Lord have spoken and will do, says the Lord Lord." IDEM. V. 16. C, "and you, son of man" ("Hebr. and Vulg., 'son of man'"), "take for yourself one rod, and you shall write upon it" ("Hebr. and Vulg., 'one wood'") ... "and one" ("Hebr. and Vulg., 'and they shall be one'") "they shall be in the hand of Judah."

V. 17. C, "to join" them. Also VM "them." IDEM. V. 18. C, "the sons of your people," "saying" (Hebr., "saying"), "you will not declare to us" (also Hebr. in future tense). IDEM. V. 19. C, "Thus says the Lord Lord... for a rod" and "they shall be one" (Hebr. and Vulg., "one, and they shall be one") "in the hand of Judah." IDEM. V. 21. C thus: "from all those around them." (is missing in Hebr.) IDEM. Ad versum 22. Drusius, "into one nation" in. Where the LXX omit it because of the concurrence of the following preposition. It will be enough to have noted this. [C, "Apud S. Hier., Hebr. and Vulg., 'into one nation'." DRACH.] Ibid. "one ruler shall be of them" "one king." So reads Theodoretus. And it is likely that the LXX Interpretes once had it so: for Jerome reads in the LXX, "over all these one king." [So also Theodoretus. C, DRACH.] ^C

V. 23. And in their abominations, etc. Ms. Jes. [The same text appears under an asterisk. According to St. Jerome, and in their stumbling-blocks, and in all their impieties. DRACH.]

V. 25. A., Θ., and their children, etc. Ms. Jes. [C has the same under an asterisk, and in addition adds, "forever." Hebrew and Vulgate, "unto eternity." According to St. Jerome, their children, and their children's children even unto eternity.]

Notes and various readings on Chapter XXXVIII of Ezechiel.

V. 2. ‘A., ἄρχοντα etc. We defend all these readings from Theodoret, Drusius, and the Ms. Jes. Jerome, however, has it thus: “Furthermore, as for what is in the army of Gog, or Magog, who according to the LXX, Sym., and Th., is prince of Ros, Mosoch, and Thobel: Aquila interprets the first nation, Ros, as ‘head,’ which we too have followed, so that the sense is ‘prince of the head of Mosoch and Thobel.’” Theodoret, however, translates as ^A *Rhōs*, head. ^B [C, Hebr. and Vulg., toward you, Gog, prince. DRACH.]

V. 4. *...* ^C and I will turn about etc. Ms. Jes. [The same under an asterisk in C. The same likewise in Theodoret, except that he adds *kyklothen* (from all around) before *kai dōso* (and I will give). But this *kyklothen* is not in the Hebrew. DRACH.]

Ibid. *Synagōgē* (gathering) etc. Drusius. In other books it is read [In the Roman edition of the LXX, ^D *pantes* (all they), with two illuminating stars, so that they are not rare. Even in Theodoret, *pantes autoi*. Heb., all of them. DRACH.] [...] etc. Drusius, Theodoret, and Phut. In others it is read, and Lydians, [C, ..., even Theodoret reads *met’ autōn* (with them). DRACH.]

V. 5. *Allos* (Another), Persians and Libyans, etc. Drusius. [C and VM, Theodoret reads as our "Other." DRACH.]

V. 6. *Allos*, and all etc. Drusius.

V. 7. For *synēgmenē* (gathered), C has *hoi synēgmenoi* (those who are gathered). Heb., who are gathered. DRACH.

On verse 8. Drusius brings forward another corrupted reading, which differs almost nothing from the LXX and is maintained in the notes of the Roman edition with these words: *...*, and from many peoples. And thus it is read in Theodoret. [For C, Hebr., gathered. DRACH.]

V. 9. *Allos*, as a storm. Ms. Jes.

Notes and various readings on Chapter XXXVIII of Ezekiel.

Regarding the phrase "which it does not have," the VM does not contain it. And at the end of the verse, [...]. ^A DRACH. V. 12. C, “hands to the land” (The Hebrew does not have “land”) (thus, and wrongly, and for [...]), and “it shall be inhabited,” and “against a nation.... belongings and substance.” (In the margin: “substance,” 3). 15. The Hebrew and the Syrian [render]: “merchants of Tarshish.” Theodoret. [reads]: “and all her villages.” SYMMACHUS. [reads]: “and all her lion cubs.” — [Note on]: *Saba* and *Dedan*. [Note: for] “spoils,” [read] “great [spoils].” [For] “he shall be raised up,” [read] “thou shalt know.” ^B V. 17. Another [version], “of the prophets.” [Note: for] “to lead up,” [read] “to lead.” Theodoret [notes]: “in my wrath.” V. 20. And [they] shall be shaken from my face. V. 21. Another [version], “and I will call.” “And I will call upon him every fear of the sword, saith the Lord God.” ^C And I will shake off thy bow. Another [version], “and I will send fire upon Magog.” [Note: for] “bucklers and spears,” [read] “and bows, and missiles, and staves of hands, and javelins. Another [version], and they shall burn and kindle in the armor, shields and bucklers, and bows, and arrows and staves of hands, and javelins.” THEODOTION. [reads]: “...shall burn in the armor, bucklers.... from the east of the sea. And they shall bury [there]. The day in which he was glorified. Another [version], and it shall be to them for a name, the day in which I shall be glorified.” [They] shall appoint. ^D Regarding the note on Chapter XXXVIII of Ezekiel: “which neither the VM has.” And at the end of the verse, DRACH. V. C, (the Hebrew does not have “land”) (thus, and wrongly, and for...): Even in Theodoret is added “substance.” Hebrew, and “possession.” IDEM. Theodoretus. Ibid. Drusius. Jerome speaks thus: “But that for ‘lion cubs,’ which in Hebrew are called CHAPHIR, the LXX and Theodoretur set ‘villages,’ is a clear error. For if you write it with the letter *chi*, it is called a ‘lion cub’; but if with *ce*, which in Hebrew is called *Coph*, it is called a field and village.” Thus our Martianaeus restored it from the manuscripts, one of which, the Sangermanensis, has it with a *ce*, [while the] printed [ones have it] with a *ce*. [It is plain that this passage of S. Jerome has suffered some corruption by the scribes. ^A For a lion cub is called in Hebrew, כפיר, *chephir*, and a village or hamlet, כפר, *chaphar*. Both words are derived from the same element 2.] Lamb. Bos: Aquila and Symmachus, “lion cubs.” At the end of the clause, after [lion cubs], adds “great spoil.” DRACH. V. 14. In the line of the clause, for “thou shalt be raised up,” some and Theodoret, [read] “thou shalt know.” DRACH. V. C, Hebrew, “in their eyes, Gog.” Idem. Montfaucon is silent as to where this was fished out; but according to the Roman edition it is in Theodoret. It also has C, with an asterisk prefixed. For C, IDEM. V. 18. Ms. Jes. [So also C, under an asterisk. DRACH.] V. C, Hebrew and Vulg., “and they shall be moved from the face of men,” etc. Drusius. [C, DRACH.] V.

Al., and “I will send fire into Magog.” And with spears, and bows, and arrows, and staves of hands, and javelins. Alius, and “they shall burn, and shall kindle [a fire] in the armor, and shields, and bucklers, and bows, and javelins, and staves of hands, and javelins.” From the sea.

Notes and Various Readings on the Fortieth Chapter of Ezekiel

V. 1. Jerome: "Who (Theodotion) in that place where we have placed 'in the beginning of the year,' interprets: 'in the new year, the tenth of the month.' But 'new year' with the Hebrews is called the seventh month, which has among them the name THESRI." ^A [C, + *And it came to pass* (it is absent in the Heb.) in the twenty-fifth year... in the fourteenth year. *Four*... He brought me *thither in a vision of God, and brought me to a very high mountain, and upon it was as the building of a city* ^B *shining, Mok, and a reed of measurement in his hand, and*... *son of man, see with thy eyes, and hear with thy ears, and set*... *to thy heart all that*... DRACH.]

Ibid. *And brought me* etc. Ms. Jes. Moreover, these are in the Roman edition, where *thither* is absent. [C, *and*... DRACH.]

V. 2. Jerome: ^C "LXX and Aquila: 'from the region and over against the North.' Theod. and Symm.: 'inclining to the South'." We borrow the translation of the interpreters from the Regius codex. [C only has the following in this verse: *thither*. But those things which are missing here are found in the Hebrew and in our LXX. DRACH.]

V. 3. 'A., Θ., *in the hand* etc. Ms. Jes., where that, *and a reed of measurement*, is omitted. [In (it) is marked with an obelus ++ because it is not in the Heb. DRACH.]

V. 4. C, *and he said to me, O man*... *Thou hast seen* (it is absent in the Heb.) (is absent from the Heb.) etc. Hieron. "For the wall, which Aq. and Theod. have translated, Symm. and the LXX have placed *peribolos* (enclosure)."

Ibid. Drusius. But the Regius codex for... has...

Ibid. 'A., ^D Drusius.

V. 6. Symm., *and he went up* etc. Drusius. On this passage Jerome says: "Therefore he enters through the steps, or rather ascends, which the LXX alone call seven; whereas in the Hebrew and in the other translations we read only 'steps' without a number." [C, *according to the* steps... DRACH.]

V. 7. 'A., Θ., *and the threshold*. Symm., *and the threshold*. Ms. Jes. from Origen, and Drusius from this passage of Jerome: "Therefore the threshold of the gate, or SEPH, which Symm. translates *threshold*, Aq. and Theod. translate *vestibulum* (vestibule)." [Ed. Rom. and Lamb. Bos: For *and the threshold*, Symm. translates, *but the threshold*. DRACH.]

Ibid. The Hebrew LXX, *parastades* (posts). Where Drusius notes: "The singular (noun) *saph* from which was made *posts* and *thresholds*. Here you see *theeim* is corrupted into *theelath*. And the names which are placed in the Greek and Latin translation are corrupted by excessive age, and depraved by the vice of scribes, and while they are written from uncorrected copies, they become yet more uncorrected, having been made from Hebrew words into Sarmatian ones, or rather of no race, while they have ceased to be Hebrew and have not yet begun to be foreign."

Ibid. Symm., *propylon* (gateway). Ms. Jes. from Origen, and Drusius. Ms. Jes. Jerome: "After the threshold of the gate etc. which the LXX translated *Ailam*, which in the following passages Symm. interpreted as 'ante-threshold'." [Where the Rom. ed. has *length and breadth*, and VM, C, (VM, Ed. Rom., at the end of the clause, DRACH.]

V. 8. In (it) is... Nothing more. DRACH. Ms. Jes.

Ibid. Ms. Jes. Jerome expresses the very same thing: ELAU, around it, or supports. "The first translation seems to be that of Symmachus, as below v. ... and in chapter XLI, v. [In (it) V. etc. Drusius. [C, etc. DRACH.]

V. 9. Symm., *gateway to the courtyard*. From the scholion of the Roman edition.

Ibid. This translation is attributed to the scholion of the Roman edition. But they have *breadth*, and Jerome testifies that *breadth* is read in the LXX.

V. 12. Symm., *and the limit* etc. Drusius brings this forward as a sort of scholion; but it is the version of Symmachus, as is gathered from the codex Jes., which has *parastadon*. Whence we borrow the remaining translations.

Ibid. Symm., *and the posts*. Drusius. [In (it) our entire verse thus (sic), *it continued*, DRACH.]

V. 13. Jerome, *from the roof of the chamber, or posts*. [C, Also Alex., walls, twenty-five. DRACH.]

V. 14. Jerome: "Symmachus has interpreted this place thus, for which he has ELIM in the Hebrew, *krioma*, and we translate it *in front*. But these are not free from suspicion: for there is a wondrous confusion in this Chapter." Ibid. for "that" ms. Jes. at the margin *propylon*. [In (it) so: *and the courtyard of Ailam*, the courtyard of Ailam of the gate sixty cubits, and *theeim of the courtyard of the gate in a circle*... *in a circle*, and the courtyard of the courtyard. Th. Ms. Et Ex Ex.]

V. 15. Jerome: "Also 'under the open sky' the Ailam of the gate. Aq., 'before the face of the posts of the gate', Symm., 'opposite the face of the vestibule of the gate', they have interpreted." [C, DRACH.]

^A Verse 16. Symm., "and obstructed/lattice windows." Cod. Reg. bombycinus. Jerome likewise: "Hidden windows, which are called in Hebrew ATEMOTH; Symm. translated [them as] 'lattice windows'." And below: "And these windows were in the chambers, that is, in the individual cubicles and porticoes which stretched before the cubicles, possessing cubits of 50. These are oblique windows, or 'lattice', and therefore they received the name from arrows (sagittis), because like arrows they let light into the buildings through a narrow opening and widen toward the interior." ^B Ibid. Ms. Jes. Far otherwise Drusius [notes]; S., "posts." A., "chambers." ^C Ibid. Ms. Jes. Drusius however: A., "their fronts." S., "circumstances." Thus from Jerome. ^D Ibid.

Notes and various readings on Chapter XLII of Ezekiel.

V. 1. "Another, and he led me, etc." Drusius. Ibid. Hieronymus: "He was led into the treasury, or as Symmachus and the LXX translated, an ‘exedra’, or as Theodotion, a ‘pastophorion’, which is converted into ‘thalamus’ [chamber]. However, ‘treasury’ [gazophylacium] is clearly the version of Aquila, even if it is not mentioned here." Roman Edition. Ibid. Hieronymus expresses the various interpretations of the Hebrew word ‘gezeirah’, such as we have published; and he says that in these places there is a great difference between the Hebrew and the LXX, not only in order, but in the mere choice of words, and in interpretation. [The version which Montfaucon exhibits under the name of Symmachus is attributed to Theodoret by the Syrian, whose words are: if, etc. DRACH.] V. 2. "Another, contrary to face." Drusius. V. 15. Hieronymus: " ‘Exetai’ (others: ‘ethecas’, which the Latin Vulgate has), however, the Romans call ‘solaria’ [terrace/balconies], from the elevation of the walls of the upper chambers, or ‘meniana’, from him who first invented them, which some of the Greeks call ‘exostras’." Moreover, whether you read ‘lateras’ or ‘ethecas’, it seems to be expressed from the Hebrew word ‘esek’. Ibid. We borrow this and all the following readings from Drusius. [15. C. And at the end of the clause. DRACH.]

Ver. 17. The same (Idem) from Jerome, who brings forward two interpretations of Symmachus, and those varied. Whether they are from two editions of the same work? His words are: "And a crown in its circuit of half a cubit," for which the LXX have translated in turn: "and the sinus (bosom)," or according to Symmachus: "its consummation and perfection of one cubit in circuit." And afterwards: "And the sinus of the propitiatory itself, or its consummation and perfection, which Symmachus interpreted, had one cubit." Here the error of Drusius becomes manifest, who, as is often the case, drew Montfaucon into his error. For it is plain to all that the "of the elders" pertains to *'atzarah*, not to *hêq* (properly "and sinus"), which they translated as "and circuit," and above, v. 13, *kolpōma*, sinus. And for this of ours ^D Symmachus translates, as Lamb. testifies. Furthermore, this same Bos exhibits two other readings here which quadrant excellently with the Hebrew, namely, and *kōlmōma*, *kolpōma*—in turn *klimaktēres* (ladders/gradations), DRACH.

Ver. 18. Thus says the Lord, the Lord. DRACH.

Ver. 19. Jerome: S., bull. Th., calf. [C erroneously has *eggīsousi* for *eggīz*—as it pertains to the Lord saying, the Lord. DRACH.] C, (Hebrew, "that thou mayest cleanse it from sins") DRACH.

Ibid., "And they shall receive," etc. Ms. Jes. which has "they shall receive," and elsewhere often. [At the end of the verse, after "God," it adds.

And presently, "their dishonor." DRACH. V. 14. S., "I have placed," etc. From Jerome. The Greek, however, "for I have given," etc. does not fully correspond to the Latin of Symmachus: wherefore I would believe it to be the version of another Greek.

And he measured a thousand, "and he was not able to cross, because the waters were swelling."] V. 4. A., S., Th., "as far as the loins." Ms. Jes. without the names of the translators. But Jerome says: "A., S., Th. translated it as 'loins'." Where he adapts the accusative case to his own series, as often elsewhere. [L. Bos: "For 'remission,' Aq., Sym., Th. have 'as far as the loins'."] V. 5. A., Th., "torrents." From the same. Ibid. Ms. Jes. at the margin, "swelling." [C, "and he measured a thousand cubits," and he could not pass through, because the waters were swelling (I. were swollen).] V. 6. C, "And he brought me back" : at the bank of the river, which however exist in the Hebrew. Idem. V. 8. The Hebrew, "this water," etc. Ms. Jes. Jerome, however: "Then for Galila, which is called in Hebrew GALILA, Aq., which signifies heaps of sand; S., which we can translate as a border." In our manuscript it is read, and rightly so, contrary to what is found in some printed editions. But the note of the Ms. Jes. reads thus: ^D I.e. The interpretation is carried further in the Hebrew; for it is said, "This water first goes out into Galilee." [L. Bos: "For 'Galilee,' Aq. 'to the eastern sand heaps' or 'to the border of the east'."] V. 8. C, "This water into Arabia." To the plain. Sym., "into the uninhabited [land]." Theodotian, "Arabah." "It went down into Arabah, the uninhabited land." But the Hebrew, he says, "to the west." The ambiguity arises from 'Araba' signifying both "the west" and "the uninhabited land." It seems that the Greek text also signifies the same thing, adding "it came as far as the sea." For Scripture often uses "the sea" for the western part. But one should consider whether "it went down into Arabah" was set down at the beginning as "into the Arabah," with the translators using the Hebrew word. The Hebrew, "of the salt [sea]." The Hebrew, instead of "the outlet," has "of the salt sea." V. 9. C, "And it shall be," the river, "and it shall live." V. 10. And fishermen shall stand upon it, from Engaddi as far as Enegallim...

^B Notes and various readings for Chapter XLVIII of Ezechiel:

V. 2. (LXX, Symm., Th., term and separation, i.e., an offering. Hence it is clear that in some codices it is not genuine, but is that of Symmachus or another interpreter.)

V. 21. Theod., * to the face. Ms. Jes. [It also has it under an asterisk. The same codex does not have 'and from,' which is nevertheless in the Hebrew. And presently, 'and towards the sea to the face,' which is indeed in the Hebrew. And further, 'for five and twenty, towards the face of the possession of the Levites, and from the possession of the city in the midst will be to the leader.' DRACH.]

V. 22. In C, our verse begins thus: 'And from,' etc. And so it is in the Hebrew. And at the end of the clause, C, with the Aldine and Complutensian, 'for the leader it shall be.' DRACH.

V. 23. LXX, 'one.' Aquila and Symmachus, 'the same.' From L. Bos. Drusius is in doubt about the sense without cause, as anyone may see.

^C V. 28. We do not know where Montfaucon unearthed the readings of Aquila and Symmachus, who notes nothing on this verse. The Roman edition and the Vulg. [Aldine and C, Complutensian, IDEM].

V. 29. For in C, IDEM. Jerome. [C, Hebr. and Vulg., five hundred and four thousand. DRACH.]

V. 31. C, Roubim. DRACH.

V. 35. Another stichus of this clause is found in C: 'And the name of the city, on which the Lord is there, shall be its name.' And at the end of the book is added: Ezechiel (sic) according to the LXX was written according to the ^D ones from which it was also cited. That is, Ezechiel according to the LXX described, with which it was also compared. Cf. note to Is. xiv, 6. IDEM.
