[1146] [He makes the curse of Reuben applicable to the Church’s truth and purity.]
[1147] ἐξαιρέσεως αὐτῶν, “of set purpose.”
[1150] After “this” (τοῦτο) the word “blood” (τὸ αἷμα) seems to have been dropped.
[1153] [By the sin of Annas and Caiaphas, with others, the tribe of Levi became formally subject to this curse again, and with Simeon (absorbed into Judah) inherited it. But compare Acts iv. 36 and vi. 7.]

[1158] [In thus spiritualizing, the Fathers do not deny a literal sense also, as in “Aser,” p. 166, infra; only they think that geography, history, etc., should pay tribute to a higher meaning.]
[1161] κατὰ πόδας, “quickly,” “following close.”
[1163] [An important hint that by “heel,” in Gen. iii. 15, the “foot” is understood, by rhetorical figure.]
