265 Comp. Ex. xxx. 22-33.
266 i.e., in Jerusalem or Judea.
268 Comp. I Kings (3 Kings in LXX.) i. 39, where the Eng. ver. has "an horn;" the LXX. to\ ke/raj, "the horn;" which at that time, of course, was in David's tabernacle (2 Sam.-2 Kings in LXX.-vi. 17,) for "temple" there was yet none.

287 See Isa. lxv. 13-16 in LXX.

291 The careless construction of leaving the nominative "Elisha" with no verb to follow it is due to the original, not to the translator.
292 See 2 Kings vi. 1-7 (4 Kings vi. 1-7 in LXX). It is not said, however, that the wood sank.

335 The reading which Oehler follows, and which seems to have the best authority, is "Verissimus sacerdos Patris, Christus Ipsius," as in the text. But Rig., whose judgment is generally very sound, prefers, with some others, to read, "verus summus sacerdos Patris Christus Jesus;" which agrees better with the previous allusion to "the mystery of His name withal:" comp. c. ix. above, towards the end.
336 See Zech. iii. "The mystery of His name" refers to the meaning of "Jeshua," for which see c. ix. above.
337 Comp. John vi. 70 and xiii. 2 (especially in Greek, where the word dia/boloj is used in each case).
