²⁶¹ Isa. xxxiii. 17.

²⁶² Isa. xxxiii. 18.

²⁶⁶ i.e., in Jerusalem or Judea.

²⁶⁷ The Jews.

²⁹¹ The careless construction of leaving the nominative "Elisha" with no verb to follow it is due to the original, not to the translator.

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).
