Introductory Note to Clement of Alexandria
[2314] Isa. xxxii. 8, Sept.
[2315] Philo explains Enoch’s translation allegorically, as denoting reformation or repentance.
[2317] Quoted as if in Scripture, but not found there. The allusion may be, as is conjectured, to what God said to Moses respecting him and Aaron, to whom he was to be as God; or to Jacob saying to Esau, “I have seen thy face as it were the face of God.”
[2318] Luke x. 27, etc.
[2320] χρηστός instread of χριστός which is in the text.
[2321] Ps. cviii. 8, cxi. 4.
[2322] Ex. x. 28, xxxiv. 12; Deut. iv. 9.
[2323] Prob. Ecclus. iii. 29.
[2325] Ecclus. i. 27.
Chapter XVI.—How We are to Explain the Passages of Scripture Which Ascribe to God Human Affections.
[2326] [This anthropopathy is a figure by which God is interpreted to us after the intelligible forms of humanity. Language framed by human usage makes this figure necessary to revelation.]
Chapter XVII.—On the Various Kinds of Knowledge.
[2330] ἐνταῦθα τὴν γνῶσιν πολυπραγμονεῖ appears in the text, which, with great probability, is supposed to be a marginal note which got into the text, the indicative being substituted for the imperative.
[2331] Matt. x. 24, 25; Luke vi. 40.
[2332] Adopting Sylburgius’ conjecture of τῷ δέ for τὸ δέ.
[2333] Perhaps in allusion to the leper’s words to Christ, “If Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean” (Mark i. 40).
