Introductory Note to the Epistle of Barnabas
[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.”
[1555] In proof of the spiritual meaning of circumcision; but Hilgenfeld joins the words to the preceding sentence.
[1557] Cod. Sin. reads, “it is the voice,” corrected, however, as above.
[1558] Cod. Sin. has, “that we might hear the word, and not only believe,” plainly a corrupt text.
[1559] Cod. Sin., at first hand, has “slew them,” but is corrected as above.
[1560] The meaning is here very obscure, but the above rendering and punctuation seem preferable to any other.
