Introductory Note to the Writings of Justin Martyr
[2148] Literally, “hear.”
Chapter LVIII.—The same is proved from the visions which appeared to Jacob.
[2149] Literally, “for this sake.” [Note here and elsewhere the primitive rule as to the duty of all men to search the Scriptures.]
[2150] Or, “speak otherwise.”
[2151] Literally, “in the place of God.”
[2153] Some read, “a man.”
[2154] Literally, “the face of God.”
[2157] Or, “Beersheba.”
[2158] So, LXX. and N.T.; Heb. “Haran.”
[2159] Literally, “was set up.”
[2160] Gen. xxviii. 10-19. [Οὐλαμλοὺζ. Sept. Luz Eng.]
Chapter LIX.—God distinct from the Father conversed with Moses.
[2161] Some conjecture “Jacob,” others insert “Jacob” after “Isaac.” [Gen. xxii. The Jehovah-angel was seen no doubt by Isaac, as well as by his father.]
Chapter LX.—Opinions of the Jews with regard to Him who appeared in the bush.
[2166] Literally, “judgment.”
Chapter LXI—Wisdom is begotten of the Father, as fire from fire.
[2167] Or, “in the beginning, before all creatures.” [Justin’s reference to Josh. i. 13-15 deserves special consideration; for he supposes that the true Joshua (Jesus) was the substance, and the true “captain of salvation,” of whom this one was but a shadow (Heb. iv. 8, margin), type, and pledge. See cap. lxii.]
[2168] The act of will or volition is on the part of the Father.
