Introductory Note to the Epistle of Barnabas
[1533] In Cod. Sin. we find “Rachel.” The orthography is doubtful, but there is little question that a kind of bramble-bush is intended.
[1534] Thus the Latin interprets: others render “shoots.”
[1535] Cod. Sin. has “thus” instead of “this.”
[1536] Literally, “was.”
[1537] The text is here in great confusion, though the meaning is plain. Dressel reads, “For how are they alike, and why [does He enjoin] that the goats should be good and alike?” The Cod. Sin. reads, “How is He like Him? For this that,” etc.
[1538] Cod. Sin. here inserts “the goat.”
[1539] Cod. Sin. reads, “for as he who … so, says he,” etc.
[1540] Comp. Acts xiv. 22.
Chapter VIII.—The red heifer a type of Christ.
[1541] Literally, “men in whom sins are perfect.” Of this, and much more that follows, no mention is made in Scripture.
[1542] Cod. Sin. has “upon sticks,” and adds, “Behold again the type of the cross, both the scarlet wool and the hyssop,”—adopted by Hilgenfeld.
[1543] Cod. Sin. has, “the law is Christ Jesus,” corrected to the above.
[1544] The Greek text is, “then no longer [sinful] men, no longer the glory of sinners,” which Dressel defends and Hilgenfeld adopts, but which is surely corrupt.
[1545] Literally, “in witness of the tribes.”
[1546] “In witness of.”
[1547] Thus the sense seems to require, and thus Dressel translates, though it is difficult to extract such a meaning from the Greek text.
Chapter IX.—The spiritual meaning of circumcision.
[1552] Ps. xxxiv. 11-13. The first clause of this sentence is wanting in Cod. Sin.
[1553] Cod. Sin. has “Lord.”
