Introductory Notice to Hippolytus.
[1428] The text gives simply, τὴν τοῦ ἁγίου, etc., = the paternal voice of the Holy Ghost, etc. As this would seem to represent the Holy Ghost as the Father of Christ, Combefisius proposes, as in our rendering, κατὰ τὴν διὰ τοῦ ἁγίου, etc. The wine, therefore, is taken as a figure of His deity, and the garment as a figure of His humanity; and the sense would be, that He has the latter imbued with the former in a way peculiar to Himself—even as the voice at the Jordan declared Him to be the Father’s Son, not His Son by adoption, but His own Son, anointed as man with divinity itself.
[1429] The nations are compared to a robe about Christ, as something foreign to Himself, and deriving all their gifts from Him.
[1431] [See Irenæus, vol. i. p. 559. Dan’s name is excepted in Rev. vii., and this was always assigned as the reason. The learned Calmet (sub voce Dan) makes a prudent reflection on this idea. The history given in Judg. xviii. is more to the purpose.]
[1436] Perhaps from an apocryphal book, as also below in ch. liv.
[1438] ἐπισπουδαστής.
[1439] κατακάλυμμα; other reading, κατάλειμμα = remains.
[1440] Lit., that risest early.
[1441] The text gives ἐπαγωγῇ. Combefisius prefers ἀπαγωγῇ = trial.
[1443] i.e., according to the reading, ἐμπορίᾳ. The text is ἐμπειρίᾳ = experience.
[1444] There is another reading, λιμοὺς (= famines) τῶν ἐθνῶν.
