Introductory Notice To Lactantius.
[573] There appears to be no reasonable doubt that the day on which our Lord suffered was the 14th of Nisan, that is, April 7. See Gresswell’s Dissertations, vol. iii. p. 168; also Ellicott’s Lectures on the Life of Christ [Gresswell is not to be too readily accepted in this. See the learned inquiry of Dr. Jarvis, of whom, vol. ii. p. 477.]
Chap. XI.—Of the Cause of the Incarnation of Christ.
[574] Testamentum, properly the solemn declaration of a will.
[575] Converteret, “turn to.”
[576] Alienigenis. Comp. Eph. ii. 12: “Aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise.”
[577] Exquisitis.
[579] From generation to generation.
[580] Neh. ix. 26. The book of Nehemiah is called by the Greek writers the second book of Ezra. The words quoted are spoken by the Levites.
[581] 1 Kings xix. 10. The 1st and 2d Samuel are in the Septuagint 1st and 2d Kings, and 1st and 2d Kings are 3d and 4th.
[582] I have been jealous with jealousy—Æmulando æmulatus sum,—a Hebraism. So Luke xxii. 15; John iii. 29.
[583] Fathers were said to disown (abdicare) and cast off degenerate sons.
[584] Thus Col. i. 18, “who is the beginning, the first-born from the dead.”
[585] The nations.
[587] In the Septuagint δεδόξασται, “has been glorified.”
[588] Ps. xviii. 43. The quotation is from the Septuagint, καταστήεις; our version reads, “Thou hast made me.”
[589] Isa. lxvi. 18, 19. The quotation is again taken from the Septuagint.
[590] See Ezek. xli., where an angel measures the temple; and Rev. xi., where an angel directs John to measure it.
[591] The Scriptures do not make mention of the death of Isaiah. It is supposed that there is an allusion to it in Heb. xi. 37.
[593] Filios genui et exaltavi. This is quoted from the Septuagint.
